Chosen
Yeah
Uh
I watch my hand hit my phone time to wake up out my sleeping
6:31 I wonder when my flight is leaving
Fresh up out of Houston and my credit card is bleeding
Gotta make the money back so I'll be grinding till the evening
Even on the weekend
I been off the deep end
A paralyze mind always starts with overthinking
Tryna move out but my pockets over sleeping
But its something bout my home that feels to comfortable to be in
Grateful for my mom but I gotta get to eating
I need the bread and cheese cant make money being vegan
How much for the lease I need a place that I could stay in
IYODA 8 months and just funded my vacation
The money hard to make but the freedom is amazing
Few jobs lined up, but won't fill an application
Had to make time for the music so I switch my occupation
Uhh I seen what the boss is making
Hunting has its risk but the sweetest of rewards
I won't ever make no money if I'm busy watching yours
I won't ever reach my dreams if I'm beefing with the lord
Don't be beefing with the lord
I been buckling up I know I'm leaving
Gotta get up I know it's time
I gotta do what I know I'm feeling
There's something so great that calls inside
I'm
Living my life life I know that I'm chosen
I'm living my life life I know that I'm chosen
I'm living my life life I know that I'm chosen
I'm living my life life I know that I'm chosen
I been playing way too much keeping count of all the seasons
Human beings love to do this but I wonder what's the reason
Telling glory stories like this how I met The Weeknd
When you know that in reality y'all never often speaking
Ain't ashamed to take the blame and to admit that was me
I met Big Sean, I met JCole, I met my heroes indeed
Big saw potential in me recognized the MC
JCole ran inside the stu aint speak a word to a G
I was offended ill be honest it was holding on me
I mean I only did to you what you had did to Jay Z
I used that energy as fuel but who would ever had think
That the coldest dude on earth gave a cold shoulder to me
They say don't ever meet your heroes wasn't always the case
Bas showed me so much love and lowkey made me a plate
Fed me so much education taught me how to be great
Offset gave me a hug
Kirk Franklin held me and prayed
Russ was super down to earth it felt like meeting a friend
If I ever was to sign believe i'm signing with him
Dj Khaled was alright he showed me love off the whim
Lil Nas sat down with me for an hour and then
I learned my dreams were possible it all began to make sense
These guys were super talented but it wasn't talent that did it
What they all had in common confidence and persistence
They were being themselves all shine no resistance
When I reflected on JCole maybe it wasn't his fault
Pops and Nipsey tried their best but man look at the result
Losing rappers everyday you can't be out here naive
It's clear this industry is built on money power and greed
How many really hold you down in your hour of need
How many really want you laying under flowers and trees
Maybe Jermaine thought my intentions weren't as real as they seemed
Life is short no holding grudges I got love for the G
Buckling up I know I'm leaving
I gotta get up I know it's time
I gotta do what I know I'm feeling
There's something so great that calls inside
I'm
living my life life I know that I'm chosen
I'm living my life life I know that I'm chosen
I'm living my life life I know that I'm chosen
I'm living my life life I know that I'm chosen
