[Verse]
Listen, The path I took ain't in a Gladwell Book
I did it for the love, sh** I know how them rap sales look
And a couple people tried to tell me nah, don't do it
That's drama. You'll be stuck in a genre that don't buy music
Other homies say enjoy the ride
My life disorganized
I'm backstage slugging corn liquor b**h I'm mortified
And still got dreams of playing the Garden
But I'm crashing at Penn Station, Madison Square's basement
Live from New York, just ripped a set at the Gansevoort
In and out of airports off the fan support
Back when I was proud to be a backpack rapper
'Til my f**ing landlord saw my Jansport
And sharks told me I was dead in the water
Til' I spit that sh** that leave Jaws in the water
Now I'd rather be myself and keep my message in order
I realized that sh** at a session in Georgia
Never listen to a Yes Man
And don't stop chasing your dreams
Until they completed (come pleated)...Dress pants
‘Cause it's hell when you trying to make them manifest
So many laid to rest that I wish I could resurrect
Uh, So now I cherish every breath
‘Cause the good don't die young , only the very best
Simone took her own life trying to handle stress
The last time I seen her it was somewhere in the L.E.S
Uh, But tell my Momma I ain't scared of d**h
And if I die this album gon' be very Makaveli-esque
sh** tell the engineer don't even stop the tape
I could go forever, sh** is like a B.I.G. or Pac debate
What makes it dumb sad is dog, I used to hump trash
And I can tell you all your tapes is f**ing solid waste
Especially without the ba**, the 808's your saving grace
The sh** you rappers say is basically a database of Drake
I'm all in; you should turn your cards in
Tell the haters it's a Royal Flush
Watch me leave the toilet up
This is A.D.D. for you attention who*es
Been on these keys so long, I play extension chords
If the greatness is in you
Don't let them fade your potential, 'til you afraid to continue
Or 'til you at the point where a blog could make you or end you
You motherf**ers like to site-read, I just gave you a hymnal
And I'm a let you make comments about comments
It's 10,000 hours, I know exactly where the time went...yeah
Alright, Alright Alright
10,000 hours, I know exactly where the time went
(Dunson)
I woke up today with...
Nothing but a keyboard, mic and speakers
It's nice to meet ya...
