Even

[Verse 1]
Truth be told
Since nine years old
Wearing Jordan 3's
When it’s four below
Wasn’t tall enough, wasn’t good enough
But I worked hard to achieve my goals
Remember shooting hoops outside my papas house
To escape the world had to block it out
When there’s three seconds on the shot clock
Do you pass the ball or go and knock it down?
There are many types of people
Those who turn there dreams into reality
When others fall asleep thinking
This is out of reach and a fallacy
I’m from a small town down in Massachusetts
Many people hated now the masses choose this
Flows sick no cap with bad pollution
I’m a basket case with a missing screw bitch, yeah
Everyday in life is a gamble
Turned my Rocky past into lead, sharp like Rambo
Now I take all my pain on the track
And load up the clip with unlimited ammo
So if your misinformed, I’m the new school
Never will conform , might not have degrees
But I am not the norm
What’s a PhD when you heal with songs

[Chorus]
Made a promise no label will label me
I really hope that I can keep it
Heard fame is a deadly disguise
Hope my loved ones are there when I need them
I feel things are starting to change
I’m packing my bags and I’m leaving
Not expecting to blow anyday
All this stress I just hope I make even

[Verse 2]
Truth be told
This industry is tough
Give a smile back comes a shoulder shrug
People promise shit but never follow through
Don’t pretend to like me I am not your bud
Might be nineteen but I am not a kid
Deal with more shit than you could comprehend
I dropped everything to pursue this shit
I asked for a sub not some money bitch
I give the shirt off my back
For people who would never do the same
Now they all flocking back with a different tone
And a song to play, and I’m to nice to say fuck off
So I hold it in and we celebrate
I go so much more to do
Long nights 2AM up in the stu'
Thank god for the ones who stuck around
Stay inspired never needed drugs or booze
Never needed your criticism too
But it damn well, made the fire fuel
Still got anxiety daily and depression but what I am to do?
Can’t sit here and dwell upon the past
Even though happiness can never last
And I wish my mom would understand me
But we both know that will never happen
So thank god I’m gifted with this my music
To heal all my stresses, scars and bruises
And when your doubted all your life
You better not slow down until you prove it, yeah

[Chorus]
Made a promise no label will label me
I really hope that I can keep it
Heard fame is a deadly disguise
Hope my loved ones are there when I need them
I feel things are starting to change
I’m packing my bags and I’m leaving
Not expecting to blow anyday
All this stress I just hope I make even
Made a promise no label will label me
I really hope that I can keep it
Heard fame is a deadly disguise
Hope my loved ones are there when I need them
I feel things are starting to change
I’m packing my bags and I’m leaving
Not expecting to blow anyday
All this stress I just hope I make even
