[Verse 1] Walking on these tracks like the music is under our feet It's all up to me like these songs are all featuring me It's all up to me like I gotta take care of the fam If I don't learn from them, then I don't know who I am I started at that that private school like the boy was privileged Confused my past for having riches But when opportunities arise you can't miss it Easy to hear but hard to listen, the real cost to pay attention And That's something we can all afford Rather drive Bugatti but cool with Honda civics and accords Lucky enough for the Beamer that my mom's pa** down Just had to run errands for her all over the town Put so many miles that my car broke down Like, "I'm supposed to drive girls in this?" but I'm joking now I still got my drive so I'm hoping now Mom said I use to be loud I'm soft spoken now Chilling to this beat with a can of brisk Thinking I ain't going no where if i don't take a risk Put in all my chips And i don't even play poker Some nights I'm Batman Some nights I'm the Joker Just tryna do better so this world can respect me 'Cause I'm feeding off the love and I think y'all neglect me Working hard so I don't die from starvation Put my life on the track so I can get to the station [Hook] Like, I'm hoping this is something you can ride to Early mornings, late nights Like I'm hoping this is something you can vibe to My story, my life When you on the train reaching destination Just know I'm on these tracks so you see me at the station [Verse 2] Nights with the bros like what we getting into 'Cause these nights in the house really get into your mental Got that J. Cole teeth like that's some bad dental But didn't want the braces 'cause y'all ain't know what I been through Yea The big ears like Will Smith if you was feeling it I needed it 'Cause other kids called me Dumbo "Oh, y'all comedians?" Hoping jokes would stop if i got a new outfit But needed something much stronger so rap was an outlet Hear these rappers go through my struggle In a different way Showing me tomorrow was a different day And maybe one day I can do the same thing For another generation So they don't have to be locked up with no visitation I'm giving my presentation I'm your son's hero He ain't know I was a zero To being someone everyone can like Just making someone laugh can save they life Do this everyday I do this every night Just hope I'm on the right track No back tracks I'mma owe y'all like a back tax That's racks on racks But I rather relax It's either lifting 'til breaking backs Or on streets selling crack Sweating in my own house, the AC broke, keep the window crack The apple isn't far from the tree, I guess I'm a mac Shout out to my dad Most these kids lose parents to d** but we breaking bad I'm breaking that so another kid gets love from his dad [Hook]
