Told You

I told you
I know you
Was praying that I fall
But I stood up and balled
My back was on the wall
Now I'm the one they call
Put my whole family on
Now they get what they want

I'm a one man team
From the beat to the mix
I just mastered five songs
In a week going in
Imma do five more
I'll sleep when I'm dead
I don't get writers block
Got streams in my head
I spit what I live
Got a whole lot to give
Don't got no connections
No industry friends
So I go twice as hard work ethic
On ten
Transmute my pain in the music
I'm blessed
Translate this game to the people
To spread a positive message
That's never gon' end
I'm positive this work
Fuck popping a perk
I rather live in the moment
Then under the dirt
I say prayers for my people
Still under the curse
You don't need to pop a pill
Just to mask the hurt
You don't need to pop a seal
Just to show your worth

I told you
I know you
Was praying that I fall
But I stood up and balled
My back was on the wall
Now I'm the one they call
Put my whole family on
Now they get what they want

Yeah I'm ready to go
At all times Fsho
I be walking through fear
I be opening doors
That I ain't open before
My studio never closed
I got it right at my pad
No more fights with my dad
I'm living life good
Yeah the best that I can
I always go within
Staying out of my head
I was so depressed
Couldn't get out of my bed
I never act on impulse
I wait instead
They say all feelings past
Now I know that's true
All my healing came
When I had nothing to lose
I ain't the villain no more
But I paid my dues
Always ready and willing
To help you if I can
I went through blood sweat tears
It paid off in the end
I made my passion my career
That's a gift and a half
My mental state so clear
I don't live in the past
I don't run from fear I embrace
It and laugh

I told you
I know you
Was praying that I fall
But I stood up and balled
My back was on the wall
Now I'm the one they call
Put my whole family on
Now they get what they want
