Verse 1: Let me take this time to be perfectly honest I used to think of this rap sh** as some kind of a contest Always trying to make progress & trying to be the best But in the end that means less love & more stress & I confess I was trying to impress The rest, even though I ended up being depressed I guess I was too concerned with other people's opinions Overconfident when I was speaking to women So many people were neglecting my tracks Because I was bragging in 90% of my raps Perhaps it was a little too much, I admit it So now it's time to switch it up and do something different So I'ma make my rhymes and my lyrics more conceptual Intellectual mind trying to be exceptional Working on my craft & making it more professional Waiting for the day the people put me on a pedestal Verse 2: Many years in this music sh**, I felt left out And I won't deny that it's something I used to stress 'bout Got my sh** together now, yes and now there's less doubt I just wanna make music, f** being the best out Time to take a different route, listen as I switch lanes At a point where my music's going through a big change Lot of friends who sniff caine, me? I'm on that mary jane Puff puff pa**ing while I'm making music everyday That's the perfect getaway, sort of like vacations These lyrics daily help me to escape these situations I spent alot of hard work, crazy dedication Trying to stay on track just to reach my destination Just a year ago, I was always busy playing chicks Now I got a pretty girl in a relationship In pursuit of happiness like will & jaden smith Plan to enjoy my life until I'm 86
