Indie Jones

[Verse:]

It all started with Columbia
But sending your demo to a major label at 16 will humble ya
I opened the mail and stumbled upon a reply
Fumbled to get it opened, I read it then wondered why
They said they were not interested
I'm shocked they took out the time to send me a letter back
'Cause the music was pretty whack
I kept it still all intact, got better matter of fact
Few years later [?]50 cent and put us on the map
It ain't crack like that
I thought we made it droppin' projects back-to-back
Talkin' in syntax, I was honestly confused
While they were puttin' out the records that they chose to
Now it's like Breax Over, we dropped a song a week
I learnt so much from hangin' with the guys over at Reach
But Lecrae was clear that we were way too underground
Even though Kendrick and Cole started the bubble now
I guess he never really saw the vision
But it's cool, I'm grateful for all the wisdom
Confused at times of all the [?] cosigns
But what do I know? I'm just tryin' to get mines
Back on my solo grind, stil tryin' to find a home
I couldn't sign to a label so I started my own
And then I signed myself, then I signed my bros
Into the Dream Junkies, we at like 5 a show
We takin' meetings now, 'cause John finally blew
But these record company people must have me confused
We dodged a lot of bullets but our friendship ain't make it through
The money changed us, if I'm gonna keep it true
Is it arrogant to think we could have done it on our own?
Guess now I'll never know
I learned a lot from Interscope, I learned a lot from Atlantic
The major label advantage is makin' us believe we need their money to have us [?]
I guess they never really saw the vision
But it's cool, I'm grateful for all the wisdom
Confused at times of all the [?] cosigns
But what do I know? I'm just tryin' to get mine
Stayed on my solo grind, and built my own home
I couldn't sign to a label so I started my own
I don't need your advance, 'cause that's really a loan
Use my own cash flow, my masters are my own
They talkin' 20/80, How 'bout like 80/20?
I'm finna make this money, you cannot take it from me
[?] a legacy to seek
I drop a song a week for my son and my niece
I do like three a day, man who got time to sleep?
My momma's gettin' older, and her health is gettin' weak
I ain't got time to speak, tryin' to buy a few homes
I couldn't sign to a label so I started my own
They must have never got to see the vision
But it's cool, I'm grateful for all the wisdom
And if you never really got the vision
It's cool, it's never really not my decision
