An Untold Tragedy

You gotta do this shit no matter what other niggas think
That's what separates you from them
This shit real

Still don't know why every single night I dream about you
Oh the places we'll go, and all the things that we'll do
I don't even give a damn, long as we see this shit through
You're the piece that I need and can't stand to lose

Still don't know why every single night I dream about you
Oh the places we'll go, and all the things that we'll do
I don't even give a damn, long as we see this shit through
You're the piece that I need and can't stand to lose
They say, "It's far-fetched, nigga who the hell are you?"
"You should go and give it up," but no, I refuse
I been searching long time, tryna find my muse
Sketching dreams in this pad, and they all came true
Every night I seen stars in the sky
Wasn't nothing left for me, had to figure how to get this shit right
By myself in my mind I always argue and fight
Pictured my name in lights and suicide all in a night
Tryna cope with all the pain, getting high as a kite
I'd dream of fame and bright days where I could buy what I like
Then wake up to the excitement of life
I almost took that 9 to 5 and gave up even tryna rhyme on a mic
What if you struggled all your life and never made a single dollar?
Although you bust your ass and hardly waste a fucking hour?
That type of shit will turn your whole worldview sour
But that's what makes me stronger, so I turn it into power
I was on the concrete, but I grew into a flower
Apple ain't far from the tree
Used to remix Cole with the same damn flows
Now so cold I could make time freeze
Jeez

Aye my day one niggas know what I'm talking 'bout
They never see the whole path, only where it ends
This is just where it begins
