Justin Kase - MidnightRoad lyrics

[VERSE] H-Town, yeah we had it poppin' Blank Canvas had me feelin' like there weren't no stopping And then they flew me out to L.A.X For a young rapper from New Zealand well, sh** was better than s** But I put my head down and I learned from the best The homie Phora showing me success is better than rest Turned a single show in L.A. to a tour You know they showed me California love that's for sure Then underground hip hop said some critically acclaimed sh** The type to make a 21-year-old go insane sh** The type that had me thinking of the n******gs that I came with That Ima' go home and Ima' k** the game sh** And then I touched down, the first in my league up on the TV Can't believe I said in 5 years I'd be sitting at the Grammy's The team set up a meet and greet I remember sitting at the top of the table thinking sheesh I turned to Simba told him homie we ahead of schedule He just laughed and told me that he got me I text my girl to confess like I'm kinda scared you know? She just laughed and told me that she got me And then reality hit. Law school the work was piling up But I wasn't in it no more. My grades were falling off And then I started fighting with the fam Quote unquote, we didn't mean to raise a rapper we were trying to raise a man The prodigal son that broke middle child syndrome To my father like you useless and I'm thinking man this sh**'s wrong! I'm doing this to make ya'll proud So my mom could be like that's my son! And scream it out loud Meanwhile I'm having issues with my girl Coz she was having issues accepting my new world And the groupies started showing up Like moths to a flame But nah dawg, that wasn't even part of it The next year, me and Simba started Thursday Had the whole city acting like it was our f**ing birthday Come to think of it, Most of the n******gs popping now We put em on. The don't remember that part though Then there was Russell Brand sh**, what a f**ing man Couple kids dreaming big sh**, what a f**ing band Then I moved out to Melbourne, opened up for Big Sean O.T. Genasis and Bow Wow like n***a we on! Then I dropped the label sh** started slowing down Noone to hold me back like where do I go now? Watching myself fall off like how am I gonna save it? Maybe it wasn't me that needed saving. Win
