23 Video (MV)

About to paint my picture, see it vivid
I'm 23 today, really ballin' on 'em different

They told me I got dreams, but that don't mean you're gonna live it
I know you hear my songs, but that don't mean you're gonna get it, right?

So I put my feelings under scope
Yeah, now I got myself and I can never let that go
Still love the way the beat is hittin' me with metronome
Got me feelin' a way that I ain't never felt before
(Aight)

They was talkin', had me lookin' like it's silly me
But then I reached a 100K and told 'em, really, G?
I put my all up in this shit, that's how it really be
So give a f*ck if you don't listen, know your shawty feelin' me

Got me readin' books, tellin' me how not to be selfish
I got damage on my heart and, baby girl, I can't help it
Try to figure out how we gonna put it in motion
After this, I get a rest while my album is loading

(That's a nice lil' verse)
(Let me come up with a hook)

'Cause I too had my days where they counted me out
And I too had my ways, dealin' with doubt
Guess I knew it would work, even up in the drought
They call me 40 the rapper, I'm just a guy from the South

Shit, I too had my days where they counted me out
And I too had my days where they filled me with doubt
But I knew this would work, look how we playin' it now
You wanna call me a name, call me the proud of the South
