Verse 1:
Sometimes I feel like/ takin a break/
From doin music/ cause the fakes/
Keep claimin that that they heard my tape/ but they didn't/it irritates
My soul/ but I know it's apart of the game/
And if I wanna last long/then I just gotta maintain/
But man how do I stay calm when every track/
That I send to a blog/gets sent back/with a note attached/
Makin me feel all kinds of wack/
My brain is steady tryna tell me to calm down/ but forget that/
I spent 24 hours tryna perfect them sounds in that song/
And I know my joint be bangin In the street/
But c'mon man/ the least that you can do is tell me that you like the beat/
I gotta get a hold of myself because I'm trippin/flippin out on blogs who mean well/
Sendin critiques to my email/ that's constructive/
Gotta chill with the behavior that's destructive/
To my career/ I keep on actin out/ then respect is gon disappear/
So this is what we gon do/ imma just try again/
And comfort the worried kid within and try to tell him
[C] breath in, calm down/ that day will come around/when pretty much everybody gonna 'preciate your sound
Verse 2:
Before I started recording this/ I had to slap myself in the face cause
I thought that I was a disgrace/
Cause i couldn't tear up the place/ last year and the year before that
Dudes anticipated that i would fall flat/
Even callin some of my tracks wack/but it's cool/
Because the ones who did hear em told me that they was fire/
Them be the same folks that make me not wanna retire early/
But there's some folks who think that b cyde is joking/
When I say that this time imma leave that microphone smokin/
See y'all thought I was done, didn't y'all (yeah)/
Thought I was gon fall? (Um)/ but I'm on my way to the top/
While I'm having a ball/
I spent all day tryna convince my self I got this/
You think I'm bout to y'all bring me down/ y'all can get the fist/
And I see some of y'all laughin but it ain't no stress/
Lord knows, I'm glad I'm getting some of this up off my chest/
And if you feel the same way/ let this song play in yo ear/
Cause you ain't got no fear/ now let the world you here
[E] now breath in, now breath out (x8)
