For This (feat. IAMNOBODI)

Yeah
Yeah
Ah, yeah

I waited all my life for this
They told me, that I won't make it
(We used to say, yeah, we used to say)
All my life for this
They told me, "I won't make it"
But I made it

Yeah, it's tough not to get anxious
Exercising my patience
I thought it never would happen
I swear, I waited for ages
Had faith in the journey
I said, "Let's see where it takes us"
We want gratification
But see it happens in stages

With a team on my back
A couple times might have cracked
But never broke and I can hold them in fact (you know)
Man, you know how much weight was on him?
Must have came from within'
My lanky ass don't even go to the gym (I waited)

And now I'm in, just one, but 20 mixtapes to my name
A lot of y'all would lose your appetites
With a distaste for the game
Lot of y'all would call it quits
Because you just chase for the fame
Tell my story to inspire you
Just in case you're the same

Self-made, now I employed ten of my friends
Tryna move moms out the Honda
Tryna send her a Benz (I'm trying)
Appreciate it all 'cause ain't no telling when this shit ends
Unless this is all a dream and then it depends, well, yeah

I waited all my life for this (I waited, yeah)
They told me, that I won't make it
(We used to say, yeah, we used to say)
All my life for this (uh)
They told me, "I won't make it" (yeah, yeah, ayy)
But I made it

Listen, and all we ever wanted was chances (yeah)
Dreams of life changing, checks from label advances
Copping mansions, the kind of conversations marijuana enhances
Back then, I let them know what my plans is (yeah)
A poet in 16-bar stanzas (uh)
16 with dreams so far fetched
No one understands us (now what?)
Playing shows in stadiums
Where everybody way up in the stands is

Standing on their feet, I paint the picture on canvas (I waited)
That I seen, in my dreams in quick visions and glances
Woke up in NYC today, don't think we're in Kansas
Anymore, but sometimes it's hard to be sure
'Cause if I dreamed that it happened, did it actually or
Am I just still asleep, and none of it's real?
Wake up tomorrow, right back in the struggle
Tryna come up and build (yeah)
I don't know this shit gets deep and ignorance is bliss
It's all I've ever loved, I waited my whole life for this, yeah

I waited all my life for this
(I swear I waited so fucking long, yeah)
They told me, that I won't make it
(We used to say, yeah, we used to say)
All my life for this
They told me, "I won't make it"
(We always knew this shit would happen, yeah)
But I made it (uh)

Yeah, reporting live from NYC
2015 and forever, ha-ha-ha
Yeah, uh, yeah
I don't know how to end this shit
Yeah, uh, yeah

I waited all my life for this
They told me, that I won't make it
All my life for this
They told me, "I won't make it"
But I made it
