[Ian Verse]
Starting to feel real good
Doing everything that I never thought I could
I should, tell the world how I'm feeling on Facebook
Addicted to the way it looks
Another chapter in the textbook mistook
I'm recreating my success by explaining how I feel good
When in reality I don't, and this is my way to cope
If I get like 30 likes for 30 minutes I'm dope
Now I'mma post a quote, or paint a perfect picture of a life I'd like to know
Or the type I'm bout to grow into
Please excuse my condescending mood
I'm kinda caught in a feud with the old me and the new
I thought I knew, was doing what I thought I was supposed to
But now I seem rude, egotistical, and over-vocal
But my goals to the a mogul whose humble and noble
Raised with preludes and show tunes
Paying homage to greats who cause breakthroughs and stayed true
And all they ever said was thank you
Cranking out records with gratitude and that was proof but
This is the beginning I feel as if I'm winning
And as the notes keep swinging, my heart mind keeps spinning
And how can I know nothing will stop me but not seem co*ky?
I'mma shut up and make tunes so watch me
[Justin verse]
Umi, told me, music could mold me
Only, if I let it and don't let it control me
Believe in the principals that black and white showed me
Which was to be me, without being a rooster
[Ian]
And I'm sitting in a booster seat, trail blazing but star gazing, honestly...
[Justin]
Honestly, can't say I'm ish
When I can make a list of Liszts
That would make me feel unfit for this niche
[Ian Verse]
So here's the sitch, made a wish to switch from insecure to confident
Lost sight of common sense
And made comments that came across a little bit on that pompous tip
Made promises to push myself then reveled in accomplishments
But it's all about a balance
Sort of like calisthenics mixed in with some cardio
Or consciously acknowledge looking perfect is impossible
A hardy meal with family, like some pasta, made this possible
Apologies to people I pretended to be proud too
Offended or lent time to, backed out when it came true
There's no excuse, there's only work to do
And as my father always says your competition is you so
There's nothing to prove to the people who doubt you
Just play that blues you can't loose
I said there's nothing to prove to the people who doubt you
Just speak your words you can't loose
