[Verse 1: Natty]
Since the day i started I'm becoming such a vital factor
Giving it my heart & soul, just to gain an idol stature
Gonna make it big 'fore my book is on the final chapter
Putting all my heart, into making sure i stifle matters
I started off depressed, but I'm tryna make it past that
I've hid behind a mask, it's time that i un-masked Nat
Carried such a heavy load, it left me with a scarred back
I'm only just beginning, it'll never be my last track
There's so much more to give, you'll never see me forfeit
In spite off all the struggles, i am feeling so awarded
I started my career with the pressure's off conforming
If the sky's the limit then I'm aiming up towards it
Never gave my full potential when it came to vocals
I'm giving you the best in me, now my brain has opened
Despite the haters hating i am always staying focused
I'll make it in the industry cause now the gates are broken
It feels so incredible, now i don't feel stressed-at-all
& when i start performing, the stage will be my pedestal
I use these whack rappers cause their talent ain't impeccable
Put an end to my career, but know that it's perpetual
Cause blood, sweat & tears, means that i am dedicated
I'm happy to announce that, me & depression separated
I dropped out off school so, say that I'm uneducated
Never call me worthless, talents what i've demonstrated
I'm putting so much effort into music but they don't care
Feeling like a dying breed, my species they are so rare
Putting on a brave face even though I'm so scared
People seem to think that I'm gonna end up no where
But, i've broken through the barriers off hate now
I'll always get back up, despite you saying stay down
I started down the wrong road, so i went & changed route
Still here at the bottom, the top is hard to make out
I used to think my dreams are, far from being plausible
Now I'm looking at the stars, aiming up towards 'em all
Watch me go from being broke to making life affordable
I'm making all these records so, now my thoughts are audible

(Not over yet)

I used to have a heart of gold but now i can assure you
My gold hearts hidden, my flow crafts pictures
So dark that when you close your eyes, they'll forever haunt you
I bogart rhythms, that don't show heart in 'em
As soon as it does hit your ears, you've fell asleep & snored through
I'm so darn different, from most art, listen
I wanna show I'm just as good as artist that don't bore you
Composed dark written, from Mozart's rhythm
So listen to this cold hearted artist who just happened too
Bogart the market with a show starting rapper loose
He goes hard with his composed art to capture you
He broke hearts, being so harsh is just his attitude
I'm growing with the music, I'm embedded in the plot
If you stop to ask directions, you ain't heading for the top
Time is off the essence so you'd better watch the clock
But, time is is running out, so it's best if you don't watch
