Wake up in the morning
Passed out on the floor
Look around in my life, realize I want more
Tell my momma I gotta go, I'll be back in like 20
Then I hop up on the road in pursuit of some money
'Cause I can't go back, no way, not till I succeed
And it ain't really 'bout the cash, I'm just tryna chase my dreams
And prove all the people wrong, who could never fuckin' see
The potential that I have, now it's time to let it free
And what the future holds? I don't really even know
I don't wanna lose my ways so I'm followin' the road
As I travel down the path I saw a fork up ahead
A man appeared in the middle, this here what he said
There's muscles that way, Hugh J, Sugar, Andre
Big business generals laughing at the pawns play
Even if they sign you, tailor and design you
Jewels in the vault, they won't hesitate to mine you
I'm a student of these ironies they hire me
To buy seasons so I'm all over in the rap winery
They'll ride your locomotive 'til it grind to a halt
They're brilliant if you make it, if not, it's your fault
Okay, maybe that path ain't the smartest to choose
I don't wanna be a puppet for a label to use
Sure this music shit is fun but it's a big risk to take
So please tell me 'bout the other path that seems more safe
And if that were to your bachelors, maybe Master's after
But now you've got eleven years on Tyler on Bastard
Got the Ph.D. the JD, the MD
But the time stamp flow top half's so empty
You fear it, fulfillment being the limit
And you hear it, quiet graves with maggots in it
Your stability prevent those rash decisions
But that hole inside, you think cash can fill it?
So I'm damned if I don't, and I'm damned if I do
This shit don't seem right, I don't fuck with all these rules
All these stupid regulations tryna hide me from the truth
And when it comes to these choices I have way more than two
'Cause I ain't never been one to put myself in a box
I choose the road less taken like my name is Robert Frost
I'll keep following my dreams, I don't care about the cost
And people think you're wandering and they assume that I'm lost
'Cause I ain't gon' depend on no man to guide me
It don't matter how many times they deny me
Even when the times get hard, I'll keep tryin'
I just wanna find the greatness inside
So now it's done, it's over, this is the end
Where my old life will finish and my new will begin
Time to make a new path, time to start a new trend
Next time you see me I won't be playing pretend
Ooooh-Ooooh
Ooooh-Ooooh
Ooooh-Ooooh
Ooooh-Ooooh
