[Verse 1: Drew Famous]
Step in my mind and you will find things don't go as they're planned
I'm reaching for help but I cannot find me a helping hand
Lord forgive me for my trials and tribulations
I been waiting for your help but I been running outta patience
I been saying, I'm not the type to wait for things to happen
If it starts then it'll finish, I don't got time to go backwards
Please don't ask me bout my past or why I'm hesitant towards trusting
I write all my feelings down cause I know paper can't say nothing to me
Y'all mean nothing to me
Fake and I don't got the time for arguing about excuses that were never made
I just put it all in writing then record it on a song
And then I play it for the people, that's how I've been getting paid
And it's been working pretty well, least it's enough to cover gas
And at this point in my life, really that's all that I could ask for
Fast-forward one more year I'll be preparing to pop up up on some vast tour
Catch me waiting in line at CVS to get a pa**port
[Hook: Qaewin & (ik**edmarlon)]
I don't wanna open up
Everybody close enough
I just need some time alone
Just me and my microphone
(Shutterbugs don't survive year round
They die off with the season
Salty, stay still, I might just snap
If you wanted to give me a reason)
I just need some time alone
Just me and my microphone
[Verse 2: Kevin Hackett]
Because the internet made me, at only 18, God has been working so hard in my life
In the places you can't see, it is amazing, they saw the logo so they know we on a new wave, b
Change this game see, I mean that blatantly
Music is a vacay to me, but I'm still at home no vacancy
Young Kevin the perfectionist, I take a week on a verse just perfecting it
See myself in the mirror the reflection is a little kid stuck in adolescence, and
SEVENTEEN got the focus on me, so I started a war then I wrote this army
Thank God, the Lord that I drove this far, see, went from Honda to Ford then I rode an Audi
Kev Hackett randomly got better, from a neighbourhood where it's always sweater weather
I been feeling wiped out but I still never let up, every local rapper I been feeling so fed up
I'm gaining weight, I don't ever wanna stay in a lane
‘Cause I got a drive that I know I can steer, and this ain't a hobby, this my career
Rest in peace to me and Our Internet Friends, it's a beast unleashed when I pick up that pen
Pleased to meet all my competition, so we eat the feast and then you do the dishes (yeah)
I just need time alone, they drive to a party while I'm at home
Tryna change my life inside a phone, now it's back to the album, then I'm gone, yeah

[Verse 3: Drew Famous]
Walking by, snap snap, hear a shutter and that's that
Funny the more music I make the more people gon' dap-dap
But that's the thing though, ride by, you can't see me through my window
Keep my circle ‘round me tight, ‘cause it's chillier when you're indoors (in the end zone)
But that's the future, right now I spend my days in the hall
I ain't wan' be in cla**, I ain't doing my work, but I swear one day I'll be bigger than you all
Proving you wrong was my main goal when I had started, but now I'm climbing up the ranks though, becoming an artist
And I ain't listen what you say though, we climb in the car and go anywhere to get the cake though, I'm sorry to mama, I'm saying
Young boy been k**ing it since everybody told me that I wouldn't be anything, then
When the doubters see me they becoming illiterate and I ain't gotta lie ‘cause I'm done with pretending
See one day, they told me they was skeptical, I told ‘em check the records though
I ain't gon' pretend like I ain't the best, so Imma let ‘em know
Ready, go, colder than an Eskimo
I told ‘em let the medics know, I'm sick, don't need no vegetables, we
Flew across the country, and then sold out a show
For a sixteen year-old, that's pretty damn impressive, whoa
