On the cover of the song, LANDO mentions not being taught cursive, the reason his name isn’t shown in cursive on the cover. On it, he also mentions another underground artist, like him, called “Promise”, both of them sharing the same birthday. The cover to this song also is a likely nod to Promise’s...
[Intro: LANDO, Sample]
There's so much I wanna tell you
Yo
It's been on my mind for such a long time
Yeah
This the last take man I- promise
One year, shit
I have got you closely
Uh
Hoping one day you will be mine
Yeah
Uh, yeah
Mine, all mine
Look
[Verse]
Now let me start this off by saying I ain't too impressed with my progression of this passion I say I possess
A couple songs that I offered are awfully contested
Shit, I always thought of how I'd work away while they all slept
But I ain't caught a fire, done the show
7 dollar entry with a microphone, I killed the shit
Sad to say I never hit the stage again, I'm still a jit
Barely fucking grown up to improve the pen, I'm too legit
I'm watching all these clones get successful off the movie script
Had a sudden shift and left it on, I really sunk the ship
This the only dream, I swear I wouldn't quit
But every time I write, I feel I'm lying
Think of something quick and lay it down and scrap it by a couple plays off the rip
Felt the fall, call it quits
People asking where I been and when I'd drop a new release when I'm at peace to move again
Learned to stay in places, I'd get lost and I ain't cooped up in no drama
I'm dreaming 'bout some commas, come and cross the pen
I was kinda conscious 'bout the problems I was holding in
Started smoking heavy, hard to keep up track of where I been
Middle of the summer, still I'm stuck inside a covenant
I'm coming down and asking why the fuck I'm even smoking shit
Later got a job, got a [?], even got a car
Gotta have some habits I ain't proud of, I ain't fix 'em all
Written with my feelings, ain't no ceilings, I ain't fixing all
The vision's what I'm chasing, I ain't quitting just to get this far
I was born a blessing, bought the best forever, still involved
2007 to the present, bitch I kill 'em all
See 'em second guessing if I'm destined to be big at all
But since an adolescent, never questioned any fear of loss
Where the fuck that girl go when I was stranded cold and soft?
Where the fuck the friends go when I was living low and lost?
2025, I ain't playing bitch, I'm living large
And it's impossible to not keep going, this shit in my heart
[Outro: LANDO, Sample]
There's so much I wanna tell you
It's been on my mind for such a long time
Man, this has been- 2025 is my fucking year, bro
I ain't even drop shit in 2024 man, I'm-
I'm disappointed in myself, I don't even know what I was doing
I have got you closely
Hoping one day you will be mine
It- it had to be the girl, bro it had to be the girl
All them distractions and shit, like-
Ay, but I'm single now, bro
Mine, all mine
We getting good music back
We getting good music back again, bro
