[Verse 1: Ether Q]
And I'm never, ever, ever, ever, ever going
Back to the days before rapping for pay
Was the, standard today
Working two jobs stacking to save for tracks I could blaze
Crafted a way to pa** average days
Saved every penny, wasn't fresh in gear (nah)
Green to the game it was my freshman year
Every dollar that I made was invested here
In Almost There now it rests in ears set in gear
The wheels for the motion to steal the devotion
Of those oceans of those coping that no longer feel lonesome
I connected and vibed they respected my grind
It's a mutual love that never could die (nope!)
Can't believe I'm a rapper and they know my name
Can't believe that I matter in this stone cold game
Can't believe I'm a factor and I own no chain
Can't believe what I'm after is so close mane
[Hook: Mike Kozitka]
And we ain't ever going back to those regular days
Forever we stay ahead of the game
And we ain't ever going back to those regular days
Forever we stay ahead of the game
No more regular days no, not for me
I done made it this far on my own two feet
No more regular days no, not for me
I done made it so far on this long journey
[Verse 2: Ether Q]
The path I been taking I done made it to the lane which
Is a detour takes longer to get famous (uh-huh)
But the drive it is worth it cause you finding your purpose
Fans eyeing and trying to have you climbing the surface (ya dig?)
Regular days behind no more struggles for chips
Live how the Huxtables live comfortable kid
No sweater vests or pudding pops just cooking hot songs and hooks to drop
The beat hit harder than night stick of a crooked cop (WOO!)
I'm the man b**h and I planned this
Taking advantage of the fact which real rap is lacking
Hoping to find this quotable mindset
Cla**ic lines cashing dimes cause I rhyme fresh
Can't believe I'm a rapper and they know my name
Can't believe that I matter in this stone cold game
Can't believe I'm a factor and I own no chain
Can't believe what I'm after is so close mane
[Hook: Mike Kozitka]
[Verse 3: Add-2]
Yo, on this highway of life my mind is a GPS
The road less traveled is the road to success
I'm on a road like it's bu*ter now we eating like it's Thanksgiving
Run tracks like a racer when they chase ribbons
Blowing up like we lighting an M-80
Meeting ladies named Mercedes who ride inside of Mercedes
CLA, remember chilling in the Chi
Watching planes fly by we hope to see LA
Just writing the rhyme books my pen pushing the page
Days turn to nights, nights turn to days
We been searching for cheese like lab rats in a maze
Got my foot in the door, when I step on the stage
Fans fill the stands up, fans throw they hands up
Feeling like the man so fans got to fan us, man
I'm so hot, like Puff we can't stop
I feel I'm so fly I can't land in one spot
Tomorrow isn't promised and yesterday is gone
Today I pray I'm better than the day I was before
I'm tryna be a better man so I take a better stance
So if you standing under me I hope you understand that
[Hook: Mike Kozitka]
[Outro: Ether Q]
And don't ever give up on your dreams
Doesn't matter where you come from in life
You can always make it to that top
Just get past the regular days
And a bright future is in store for you
