[Intro] same kids that you know
[Verse 1: Jay Stone]
Had a little bit of faith so I threw it on the line
Sitting out here independent everyone is getting signed
People say they listen but it s**s that they're blind
It doesn't matter if they hear you if they do not see my grind
In the morning
I wake up
Tell god I'm thankful
Doing my own thing now
Breaking out all of these shackles
I hate when people hold me to the standard of what I gotta be
It's funny cuz you all are fake
Well that's what I see
They hate the ones that will try to be known
So i guess my best bet is to work hard and lay low
I'm a diamond in the ruff so I can't help The glow
I'm just waiting for a label I'll keep checking my phone
I don't know what you expect from me
I swear you'll be impressed with me
I'm like the only one spitting with vitality
I'm on my way I know u would agree
I got that small town Midwest
Hard work mentality
[Verse 2 Jay Stone]
I know You win some and you lose some that's just how it goes
Welcome to the life where you can get far
Just based on who you know
I'm in the spotlight
So I'm staying on my toes
Gotta Keep my options open
So I know which way to go
The pressures coming from all directions
I stepped back and turned the pressure into a weapon
Nows these records I'm sitting
I'm on my OWN thing but Oprah hasn't heard of it yet
Everybody's popping Mollys
I ain't breaking a sweat
The hate may seem so loud
But they can't fade the music
They really don't hate the song
They just hate that I abuse it
Opportunity is knocking
And it's time I open up
I'm finally getting noticed
But you can't call my bluff
I'm a laid back dude cuz I never get much sleep
You would think I'm smoking dope that's what Mr. Reynolds thinks
So I'm staying focused
Got the future in my sight
Just known I want it all
In this life
[Verse 3 : Mikey Wegs]
Life is what you make it unless you make a change
I remember bein 9 rhymin playin video games
Tony hawk all up in my disc slot
Sittin playin alone until my disc stops then what hip hop?
This real music is my dream tho
No one knows cause I keep it on the D Low
Im goin in like a cart in a depot
Pickin up materials to build up on my ego
Bittin off your nails won't heal the scrathes off ya mind
Regret the past means nothing unless you aligate your time
But my clocks broke
Im in a trans while my minds blown
My eyes red while in blowin out this white smoke
I think of the future and pray that my dreams come
And if you work hard enough then youll achieve some
So stand up for yourself and do you cause in this life you only live once and thats true (its real hip hop)
