[Verse 1]
Success is like the scariest thing
Think you know it, think you want it, but things aren't what they seem
You dream about it, scheme about it
Can't imagine life without it
Like that pretty girl, with the curves
Everybody on it
Till you get close
(and) expose
She needy when you get close
But she the one that everybody want
So you don't let go
Now another couple hundred miles away from home
And Telus overcharging all these roaming fees for phones
[Verse 2]
So tell my baby, Imma hit her when I get a signal
It's God, her, then everybody else plain & simple
I need her (Anita) like a baker
Need sweet, - love
All the way she make me greater
Both now & later
Phone blowing up, many see the moves
Everybody can't be gang, gotta pick and choose
And to be honest, man I'm scared of this ride
Many have a faithful gone, who now swallowed in pride
Went from sitting on the sidelines feeling super idle
To sharing conversations & a meal with my idols
Live for one, but give to all, when the chips fall
(And) gotta take the love with the hate in this job
Don't ever let nobody question your grind
If they don't clock it in a minute, they going get it in time
Meantime, between time, I give it every part of me
And playing multiple parts like playing harmonies
Speaking of Harmoney shout out to my homie Ricky
I flew to Philly
No crew was with me
Came through to get me
Crashing on the floor
All I need's an open door
Those the moments, I don't question what I do this for
But those the moments that I question why I do this for
[Verse 3]
I been writing this for like 4 months
(I) can't tell you why it took so long
Maybe cuz was in a place so gone
Tryna break these wrongs
And take these poems
To a place your faith feels grown
In that time (I) started working out
While all these issues I'm still working out
Like when my father call I just wanna bout
Gotta leave ones you must
For the ones you trust
Cuz family is all that's meant to be when levies bust
