[Hook: Pryde] First I started off small, now I've gone big Now I'm big doing what was just a small thing Cause everything was grounded, now everything's fly Cause everything just changed in the blink of an eye Blink of an eye, eye, eye (X4) [Verse 1] 'It was all a dream' Biggie quote Now I'm making things alive with my vision bro I was that kid that had his future right in front of him Now I'm bout to tell you some stories, so homie listen close That said that I was asian I wasn't well in rap Now check the honors on Youtube and try to tell me that I'd sit and pray for just one day my future name would conquer I went from radio turn downs to label offers Kept my composure as this dream was coming closer Had a couple friends use me as I seemed to just grow older I used to love school but now I hate it, it was wrong Sitting in my desk knowing this is a place I don't belong in And I been slowly making hits Imagine waking up to growing up and knowing you're the ish Imagine if I never tried spit a rhyme in the beginning Imagine it I tried to blink my eye and now im livin the life [Hook] [Verse 2] Having girls just turn me down is what my heart saw Now girls just turn my music up cause I'm a heartthrob Five people in the audience with no crowd Now I'm packing up venues for shows Sold out, Owww I used to sit down and stay bored Now I'm on to living this life that I prayed for And back then I asked people to hang but none of them will Now they be ringing up my phone like homie let's chill! I used to walk the streets and I'd be safe at night Now some people see my face and they would hate big fights And they annoy me cause they're always staying mad at me with hate words Threatening my health and put my family in danger I lost friends being this real next star Cause nowadays success determines who your real friends are When I got jumped, I hated that I had all this fame Cause when my head just hit the concrete, I drastically changed [Hook] [Verse 3] Sometimes I hate that fact that I been seeing more Of this fame cause it's a life that I was feening for Cause now I got this label they gotta put dollars into me And taking care of me takes a lot of responsibility People ask,'why you gotta be a nutso for?' Maybe it's cause I can't even just take the bus no more I can't even just be normal cause this fame is like a whirlwind Like what am I just cursing? I can't even have a girlfriend! Momma never thinks that I'll be making it home She hates when I be going to some places alone Cause my danger is grown Can you imagine that scene? Now I be getting haters mad and going after my team To all you goons who hate me, let me tell you something honest If you beat me up and jump me what the hell do you accomplish? At times I feel my brain is really empty when it's crowded Cause music changed my life now and everything about it [Hook] So much has happened in the past year Felt like it happened too quick and I grew up too fast And I want yall to know When success comes, a lot things turn different In my case, music opened my eyes to that D-Pryde
