2008
Back in the days
Minimum wage
Sellin' the J's
Gotta get paid
Findin' a way
Smokin' the haze
Pen was ablaze
Burnin' the page
Wasn't a phase
Fell in love with the game
I fell in love with the game
Food & Liquor front to back
Dope Boyz in a Cadillac
Word of Mouf, I fucked with that
Tried to write, I had a knack
Big bro put me on to rap
I was five, he showed me that
Years later, found a bag
Name attached, Craig Mac
Yeah, I guess he had my dream too
Yeah, your life taken too soon
Sixteen, he ain't get a chance to bloom
I could never quit I'm also doing this for you
When I'm at the gates I hope you tell me that you're proud of me
Mom and dad are good and I took care of those surrounding me
You're the light I see through all the demons that are clouding me
Pray for perseverance to ignore the people doubting me
Gave up on my drinkin', I can lock in on my meaning
All those times I chased a thrill not knowing I don't need it
Energy is strong, if I don't see it I delete it
Everyday's an elevation, don't believe in peakin'
Lately I have been a slave to my anxiety
I been feelin' like the whole world always eyein' me
Seem like everyday I got somebody tryin' me
I close my eyes and let it go I know you're guiding me
Too much pressure on myself is really just the pride of me
Prove 'em right or prove 'em wrong, the gas that keep on driving me
Be the best version of me is who I always strive to be
Ten toes on the dirt and staying humble how I try to be
Livin' life on borrowed time
Nothing's promised except for dyin'
Til then I stay on my grind
Chest is out, my head is high
Open mind, my eyes are wide
People talk, don't pay no mind
Go get your yours, I'm gettin' mine
I'll see you on the other side
