I been thinking quite a lot, got me moving through the city
Everybody want a spot, at the top, they gettin pushy
And I keep on hitting rock, bottom
All these people miss me and a lot want me to stop
But I gotta keep on pushing, put one foot in front the other
No more laying low, not undercover
And I'm sending all my love straight to my mother
My brothers, my sisters, the ones that really matter, yeah
Gotta keep on going, I don't wanna stop
People telling me that Ima be a Star
So I'm sticking to my faith, don't wanna fall
I've been working for so long, I'm getting far
I be up in the booth, making the songs
Yeah making the songs
Out in the world, working the job
Yeah, working the job
Living my life, tryna go live it right
Tired of living it wrong
And I wanna be on top, yeah I wanna be on the top
Everything is going sideways
And I'm tryna stay on top of it
All these people up in my face
Telling me things, they got me questioning
I'm looking to the future and I hold my head high
Don't wanna be selfish, don't wanna be filled with pride
Critics always talking, yeah they talking on the side
But I just ignore them cause I'm rising like a kite
I been on the low
Taking my time and going slow
Tryna get back to the place I know
I gotta learn more stuff, man it's time to grow
Gotta keep going, gotta pick up the pace
Gotta go win first place in the race
Everybody knows that I'm changing the pace
And when I change that, then I'm changing the paint
Paint yo house, paint it blue, paint it green
I'm all done so please pay me
I work hard for the big money
I'm squeaky clean like Mr. Clean
Once upon a time I had a dream
That I would make it, we gone see
I'll keep hoping and praying that I eventually make it
Cause I've been patiently waiting, while all the haters been fading
This music is deep inside of me, passion and inspiration
I keep meeting these people and having long conversations
They got passion for music as well and that's never fading
I just keep on keep on creating, Vincent Van Gogh taught me patience
I keep painting my masterpieces that people keep playing
Go and put on your headphones, I know that y'all have been waiting
When the music is finished you gone be feeling creative, yeah
I've been working hard, tryna get my name out
Playing my own part, tryna be the man now
I've been moving carefully
Tryna focus on myself, not popularity
I been going with the waves, I've been doing my own thang
I've been praying up above, hoping that he'll make a way
I've been stressing way too much, think I need to take a break
Then I'll come back brand new, brand new, brand new, yeah
I see myself on stage with a ton of fans
Jamming out hard, knowing who I am
Having a good time, just like I am, like I am, yeah like I am
Y'all can move your body
Out there in the distance I see hotties
Everybody hyped up, yeah they rowdy
Cause they chugged way too much coffee, yeah
