Gotta Go

[Verse 1: Benny Boy]
Shoutout to all my grandpas, shoutout to all my granny's
Shoutout to all my uncles, shoutout to all my aunties
Shoutout to all my cousins, shoutout to all my family
I’m trying to leave the city and comeback with a Grammy
Hope you understand me, there’s things that I got to do
And to get there, then I’m breaking a lot of rules
Underachievers’ll hate cause they’re not as cool
Shut them all up when they say it’s impossible
And a word to the wise
I ain’t trying to hear your lecture or advice
Cause it really sounds like discourage in disguise
And to make bread, you got to get burnt just to rise
And your intentions in the that always mean well
I’ve sent pictures attached in your e-mails
But the message is lacking in detail
This place is just fine, as in for me well…

[Chorus: Tianna Tuamoheloa]
When I’m not at home, and I’m on the road
I’ma miss you so so much, but I gotta go
(I don’t really want to leave) but I gotta go
(This is where I want to be) but I gotta go
(This is going to be killing me)
I’ma miss you so so much, but I gotta go

[Verse 2: Benny Boy]
The dreams I would have wherever I lay my head at night
Those were instructions into having a better life
Told me to rap everything that my lead’ll write
So I’d have 1,000 gigs like a terabyte
Wake up in the morning avoiding my snooze
I’m trying to run the town, what’s the point if I lose
The agony of defeat, I’m destroying my shoes
Through the belly of the beast, and boy am I pooped
I’ll rest when I pass away later
Been a hypocrite, I’ve been known to hate haters
They say that they would, but do not make paper
They’re horsing around, and they’re all naysayers
Yeah I’m taking shots, I don’t mean four fifths
But that ain’t what I’m about, Let me refocus
I have to leave the city and be in showbiz
If you ain’t know that, well at least know this

[Chorus: Tianna Tuamoheloa]
When I’m not at home, and I’m on the road
I’ma miss you so so much, but I gotta go
(I don’t really want to leave) but I gotta go
(This is where I want to be) but I gotta go
(This is going to be killing me)
I’ma miss you so so much, but I gotta go

[Verse 3: Benny Boy]
I remember writing rhymes sitting in front of my desktop
Living with my mom, and getting used to my step-pops
Headphone’s blasting, all you see is my head nods
Mom pulls them off and says we need a pep talk
She ain’t usually in his bedroom
But she sat him down and this is what she said to him
“You know that I love you, You can be the best whom-
Ever you want to be, and I’m going to bed soon”
And that’s all that it took, but it ain’t take no time
Start game planning and start thinking of showtimes
Start off all my concerts with a bunch of dope rhymes
End it with a, “Thank you, Thank you, you’re so kind”
Mom’s was my cosign, don’t need nothing more
And my opportunity is knocking at the door
Am I supposed to answer it, I'm not that really sure
I'd rather visit you than be out up on a tour, so

[Chorus: Tianna Tuamoheloa]
When I’m not at home, and I’m on the road
I’ma miss you so so much, but I gotta go
(I don’t really want to leave) but I gotta go
(This is where I want to be) but I gotta go
(This is going to be killing me)
I’ma miss you so so much, but I gotta go
