I don't know what to say to y'all
Lately I've been on entrepreneurship and not all that bullshit so it's harder to relate to y'all
It's hard to stay involved when niggas make bad decisions then end up in bad positions
Envy just adds division but i ain't no mathematician
Shit, I just had a vision
Then made it where they kinda had to listen, yeah
I been seen at every scene that you could see me at
Where they stream and sell their CDs at, that's where we be at
Heard somebody sayin I fell off, ooh i needed that
Always tried to stop myself from going where it's easy at
And I'm still alive i should have died a long time ago
Now I'll never die I'll stay alive inside the liner notes
Ghost, and it ain't hard to find the quotes
It's way harder to find my goals
Probably never hit the level of Hov
I learned too late, not to settle for "No"
So I'll teach it to Trin and that's how her lessons will go
See it's deeper than Don, I'm leaving my X's and O's
Baby splatter your paint
Go outside of the box
When they tell you you can't
Do it twice for your pop
If they like it or not shouldn't matter to you
I brought you here to the greatest so that's what you do
I been in situations that made me the way I is
I had a best friend break in my crib and take all my shit
I had a rapper steal a song and go get signed from
Don't talk about it i don't wanna waste no time on it
Before they made losing your mind a fuckin marketing tool
I was in these offices trying not to bark on these dudes
Damn was I losing it?
I kept doing stupid shit
Jeopardizing future shit
Is this what my future
I guess it's all perspective, I'm sure you see it different
I'm sorry I've been distant I've been trying to go the distance
Shit I been on a mission
And i don't need assistance
I'm walking thru the airport and just me and my tickets
Traveling by myself, Dev said "son get used to it
Cuz out of gang gang you the one that's still doing it"
Damn, harsh reality as I hop in the Uber with someone I don't know asking if I still do music
It's a weird level of fame when they still know it's you
But your not unapproachable
All the fans that I've spoken to
All of the selfies inside of Whataburger
Don't even want my burger
But if our lives were parallel you'd probably want a merger
Again it's all about perspective I guess
I could be in a cell praying for some letters I guess
I could be in the hole knowing that no letters would come
Guess there's always a lower level than the level you're on
Guess there's always a higher level than the level you're at
If you fall in love with your level than no level can match
No level can match
You learn from all the peaks and valleys ain't no leveling that
I put so many days in inside that basement
Some people 'round thought that it was time wasted eh
At least I had a dream, look how far i went chasing it
That's still 'round the way for them, damn look at the way it went
