[Hook]
What I'm here for, what I need now
Got to live life, got to breathe in and out
Exhale, exhale, exhale, exhale
[Verse 1]
In this room alone
At sixteen I thought I knew it all
Spend your money on a girl till your bank gets clean
It's hard to see that lady be your downfall
But the lights hit you, huge clubs
Your mind gets shown to some new stuff
You need your team, that's crew love
You made a life for them, you can't screw up right now
And everything is hectic
And your ex-chicks turn into your lessons
And your old friends turn into your enemies
And your usual schedule was a memory
And you tell ‘em that you're great, they say, “You better be”
Still working, there won't ever be no rest for me
Banks low so I'm working for my next cheque
So writing music, being patient, that's my best bet
It'll all be fine, that's what my girl said
But when things didn't pop, that's when my girl left
So I'm breathing heavy, still nervous, nervous
But this is worth it, worth it
Attitude is virgin, I'm ready to work
And this is…
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Bags packed for another trip
To leave my fam again, but yeah they understand
And every girl got mad at the music
Just because I'm so in love with it
You in the club with some hoes at a table that cost more than your teachers' pay
And go to school is what your teachers say
But I'd rather be here popping a bottle of Ace like
Middle fingers to my exes, middle finger to my stresses
Middle finger to my real pops cause he never committed to his attendance
Pucker up motherf**er, they never get that I'm emotional
And I'm dealing with abandonment issues
Cause everybody thinks it's cool to walk out the door
Cause every girl wants to chill and be a friend right
But they see you ‘round other chicks, judge you quick
Like "I thought you was a really cool guy till then”
God damn, man I really had enough of this
But I'm still here and I'm loving it
I need a new Benz and a condo
And my whole team living, can you stop us now?
Thought so, and this is…
[Hook]
[Outro]
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, exhale [x2]
