Gravestone

[Verse 1]
I feel this pressure been buildin' up, yeah, I feel it in my bones
I feel the weight of every choice I'm makin' when it's set in stone
I wanna leave a mark, and show 'em that I'm comin' from the heart
This is everything I have, and I'm still chasin' down that spark
Yeah, that hunger back when I was fifteen
Music was my only way out and nobody did believe
But I knew I had to show 'em, leave 'em all in disbelief
Up until there's no denyin' everything that I've achieved
So I'm saying like—
I am not somebody you can plot against
Every move you make against me, I will make the opposite
I'll be turning all of their opinions into compliments
Never had the confidence
But now I'm steppin' up, I'm shinin' light on your incompetence
I am not one of these rappers that in five years will not matter
I will not leave it to chatter, I'm dictating every conversation
This ain't an album, it's just practicing dedication

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, it's finally workin' out
Makin' all these different sounds
Tearin' out my heart on every page, it's time I let it out
Used to be so scared to be this specific, but if I don't give in
Then nobody would ever listen
It's my fate, so I'ma take it to the grave

[Chorus]
What you want written on your gravestone?
Were you great, were you fake, were you never known?
Did you leave a legacy, or did you follow every trend?
Would you let some people hate you?
Would you try to make amends?

What you want written on your gravestone?
Were you great, were you fake, were you never known?
Did you leave a legacy, or did you follow every trend?
Would you let some people hate you?
Would you try to make amends?

[Verse 2]
Mood swings, anxiety's up and down, makes it hard to ever do things
Cracks in my skull made me scared and my health's not improving
Death on my shoulder and it affects the way I view things
If I die, this better be the best stuff I'm producing
So I'm filling notebooks up full of songs that made me cry
It's full of songs about my life and full of songs, I tell no lies
Locked myself in the studio, swear that I been so exhausted
Sometimes I wanna stop this
But I couldn't stop if I wanted, you know I'm just being honest
Every time I try to take a break, I just end up back on it
I'm obsessed with droppin' everything around me just to make it right
Give it all my time, yeah, but I'm still never satisfied
Quality over quantity, yeah, that's why I barely drop
That's the reason when I'm back again, my numbers never flop
Always work behind the scenes, you know my ethic never stop
If I'm not pouring out my heart, I'll never drop another song
I'm giving this everything I have to give, my legacy ain't no lacking this
The remedy for the sadder kids, eternity is how I'm tracking this
A eulogy for all the scrutiny that I been under and what they assume of me
Ain't no more truancy, I'm on the shooting spree
Showin' the world that I'll be great, yeah

[Chorus]
What you want written on your gravestone?
Were you great, were you fake, were you never known?
Did you leave a legacy, or did you follow every trend?
Would you let some people hate you?
Would you try to make amends?

What you want written on your gravestone?
Were you great, were you fake, were you never known?
Did you leave a legacy, or did you follow every trend?
Would you let some people hate you?
Would you try to make amends?
