[Intro]
I′ve come so far but still I got a way to go
I've come so far but still I got a way
[Verse]
I′m just grateful my brothers here for the journey
Grateful that I called out to God for purpose and he didn't ignore me
Grateful my words mean something
Even though I grapple with meaning
Ain't like everything stable
But I wouldn′t trade this feeling
I write this while inside the basement
Of my parents home
My savings depleted
Just did a sold out show
Festival in a few weekends
Only way I feel like I′ve lost
If I admit I'm defeated
Last white flag I saw was from the Cubs in they champion season
So ion know how to quit
Especially when life change quick
Wayne used to say that our time coming
Yesterday he said that we lit
Just like we planned out
I really got fans now
When Will say I′m a legend it don't feel like pretend now
Even in the midst of the wins I still question my quest
Feel like more that I press towards greatness
The more lonely it gets
I still miss my ex
I still miss my peace
I still miss when silent times ain′t feel like luxury
But this what I prayed for
I can't wait to make more
Memories and engage more
With the sides I′ve kept caged up
I know me living in fear of my shortcomings
Means that I shortchange myself
So if I put it in music
That mean I'm sharing the wealth
And imma stand by each word to the fullest
Wearing each one like a part of my being
Carefully etched like I'm under the needle
Fully uncovered for the world to see it
That′s living honestly
Showing the God in me
It don′t matter what y'all think
As long as I′m proud of me
[Outro]
Brother I just want to tell you one thing
Keep doing you, you keep going, you're gonna be fine
You′re gonna be bigger than all these other rappers out here
I can't wait
Love you bro
Hey what′s up man, just wanted to say I'm proud of you
Keep going
Every once in a while I'm reminded
Of being up until 2 or 3 in the morning at SAR
Trying to edit your videos
You do not stop
I take inspiration from that
Keep going
Imma keep going
We gone keep going
I′ll see you at the top my boy, peace
This your dramatic father calling
To tell you that he misses you and he loves you
And he ain′t talked to you so you know and because he misses you
And he loves you and that might make him a little dramatic
I don't know
I love ya, I miss ya, I haven′t heard from you in a while
And so this is me being dramatic as usual
Alright, bye bye
Hey
I heard they cut unemployment benefits today
So was calling to see how that was going to affect you
And you know if you have a plan in place
Again, just checking
I'm just making sure you′re going to be ok
Talk to you later
Love ya
Hey boy, I know you excited, you about to do your thing man
It's a surreal, pivotal time in your life
I really feel like this about to be the one
So I gotta be the one to say it
Be real mindful who you let attach theyself to you
You know, goofies and stuff
But I don′t know what it is bro
But just like be real mindful of these people man
Even if you ain't do nothing with them bro
Just be mindful of like associating with them
Cause there's so many ulterior motives and agendas out here
And people trying to latch themselves onto something
And its wicked bro
So just be real mindful bro and real watchful
You know you′re granny probably taught you
When you feel that clutch in your stomach and you ain′t hungry
You know it's something man
It′s God talking
So just be real watchful bro
But I'm proud of you boy and I know you bout to do your thing man
You are about to shine like never before
Just be real, real watchful bro
Cause there′s wicked out here
