[Verse 1]
Posters of Hov and Pac on the wall
I'm lookin' at this picture of a family I don't see at all
Little sister growin' up, ain't talked to her in months
But I know that when I'm in the city doing shows that she'll be in the front
Don't hold my lack of keeping up against me
Don't think I'm all about the money just because it tempt me
I'm still a man of principle now
The same as always, it's just my flaws are visible now
Cut me slack, I love 'em, I just hope they love me back
Our generation losin' way too many people that ain't comin' back
We all feel it
I know the pain I know it well
I don't know why this sh**'s been happening
I just hope that time will tell
I gotta

Breathe, breathe
You waited your whole life for this
You waited your whole life for this
[Verse 2]
Feel like I'll be stressin' till I'm dead and buried
Feel like I'll be dead before I'm ever married
Road to legendary, that look a lot like the road to failure
And people driving reckless, I'm forever wary
Headlights on, pitch black nights
Michigan made, so we got practice dodgin' black ice
Thank God, 'cus people love to trip you up
Seems like nowadays that people rather put you down than pick you up
It got me thinking logically and never with my heart
So relationships are few and far between and over from the start
No sympathy I want it all still
I love my people, if I make it than we all will
No questions till it's over
No texting till I'm sober
But I'd rather live when I'm young
Than regret when I'm older
My grandpa told me "chase the dream and make the most of it"
Then handed me a check for gas and said "make it to the coast with it"
You gotta

[Verse 3]
Truthfully, I hold my tongue a lot
People pop off at the mouth
I just let my album drop
That's the way it should be
If you rappin', keep it real
I don't rap so you feel happy
Man, I rap so that you feel
Find me now somewhere between reality and dreamin'
Rap is finally paying rent
But I'm barely breaking even
Still it's more than what I thought it'd be when I would go to work
With the newest J. Cole, but E would make me play my sh** first
It used to make me cringe
Now it make me proud as hell
Find me rollin' through your city
Playing MY sh** loud as hell
People say The Parlay about to get crazy [?]wreck[?]
But I've been in the lab workin' plot and taking baby steps
And if it happens, then it happens
We deserve it really
I'mma sign a dollar in my pocket
Make it worth a milli
She told me, "you gon' do everything you say
I know it, but you don't gotta do it all today"
Just
