This song is about how life changes. In his situation, recording music in his closet and being judged changed into becoming famous, confident, and liked by people who used to hate him.
[Verse 1: Hi-Rez]
I remember spitting bars recording tracks in my closet
Now a year later success is at the door knockin'
Stopping wasn't an option, pull my weight like an oxen
Did it on my own with no money in my pockets, uh
I remember my first microphone
I hit Walmart with a couple bucks and biked it home
Check the heights I've grown
Honeys hit my phone
This music shit's really just the only life i know
Smoke until my eyes low
Good weed is a necessity
Girls who used to hate on me giving me head like Kennedy
Always keep a pen on me, just in case you is testing me
Haters confess to me lately their hate was full of jealousy
Ignore their Facebook chats so then they message me
And then ignore that too so now they're texting me
Trying to apologize for how they used to mess with me
You would think my name was sorry cause that's how they've been addressing me
[Hook: Hi-Rez & Nicolette Hall]
Used to always laugh at me
And things change
They tried to make an ass of me
And things change
Now they're waving when they're passing me
Cause things change (x3)
They never were a friend of me
And things change
They treat me like an enemy
And things change
But now their wife is texting me
Cause things change (x3)
[Verse 2: Hi-Rez]
People used to ask me if I rapped and I pretended I didn't
Cause for some reason i was too afraid to admit it
I was embarrassed of the only thing in life that i loved
Then i picked up a mic, like Mike Tyson with gloves
But that's just who i was
Cause yeah boy now I'm different
Making hella noise you got no choice but to listen
L-Train to Manhattan, I hope i didn't miss it
The life i used to dream about is really how I'm livin'
Now, but don't think that I'm egotistical
Cause I'm about to brag but i'll keep it to a minimal
Almost a hundred thousand views on my videos
Out of state shows and i still ain't reach my pinnacle
Shouts to Webby he's the best in the burbs
But I'm the second so just know that I'm the best of the worst
Cell is buzzing, honeys always texting to flirt
I got no time to respond because progression's the word
