Forest Grove

[Chorus: Illmac]
When we get on, we don’t need nothing from no one else
‘Cause when we was down, they wasn’t there we only had ourselves
Nobody put me on but me
So, you can’t get this sauce for free
Nah when we get on, we don’t owe nothing to no one else

[Verse 1: Illmac]
Celebrate ya’ wins and hope you keep succeeding
You gotta act, shit won’t change because you read the secret
I let my work speak for me, tryna be a beacon
Life tends to remind us when it’s least convenient
People write us off, don’t need a reason
Mostly ‘cause they write themselves off without even thinking
Got me listening for deeper meanings
Been the youngest in rooms full of people looking for me to lead ‘em
They remember how you made them feel, not things you teach ‘em
They gave me they two cents I paid ‘em no mind, now we even stevens
Uh, they remember how you made ‘em feel, and now we even
Look to my surprise, they do you greasy without a side of fries
Well-wishers wishing on my demise I’m wit’ my ride-or-dies
Now I’m the big homie to a lot of people I idolized
And became the artist I’m most inspired by

[Chorus: Illmac]
When we get on, we don’t need nothing from no one else
‘Cause when we was down, they wasn’t there we only had ourselves
Nobody put me on but me
So, you can’t get this sauce for free
Nah when we get on, we don’t owe nothing to no one else

[Verse 2: Illmac]
Take a, walk in these tortured soles
Eccentric artist camouflage himself in normal clothes
Hustle quarter O’s, bus to Forest Grove
Just to pour my soul in Simple’s basement I was, trust-falling shorter goals
When Sandpeeps fell out wit’ John ain’t fit the moral code
Mo-B met me up at Thai Cottage and so the story goes
Me and OnlyOne the two youngest, and played important roles
We was the gunners we was hungry, dusting off 40 O’s
Back when he had the blue Caddy
Fresh out of school not too shabby
Same color mucus when I do Addy
Moved to a new city, new addy
Take care of who had me, few friends, huge family
Y’all my brothers, tell Gold I love him
Even if we don’t talk on the phone or nothing
I pray ya’ family’s good and you overcoming
Got my emotions running
Mo-B invested 10, only dropped 20-something
I got you back, just know it’s coming

[Chorus: Illmac]
When we get on, we don’t need nothing from no one else
‘Cause when we was down, they wasn’t there we only had ourselves
Nobody put me on but me
So, you can’t get this sauce for free
Nah when we get on, we don’t owe nothing to no one else

[Outro: Illmac]
And I ain’t even saying when we get on like, ‘when we blow up bro, when we get signed’, nah man, it’s whatever you do
I don’t care if you fucking, sell toilets man, you put your heart and soul into something
Your actions speak volumes to the universe, and you in perpetual motion toward the bag
It’s not a matter of if, it becomes a matter of when
That’s the type of time we on
