[Verse 1]
No one hit my phone, I'm in album mode
On my own, but I got a homie right down the road
He told me, "Watch out for snakes and to keep my circle closed"
The only people I know I got been there at my shows
It's crazy how I seen this shit go
With my childhood heroes on the same festivals
A year ago I was in the audience all alone
I'm on my way to be great, I'm hitting all my goals
But sometimes I'm scared I might be getting behind
'Cause nice guys finish last and I'm taking my time
They wanna see my neck freeze and then flooded with ice
But how am I supposed to flex when it's not even mine?
I'm not the next nobody, nah, I'm one of a kind
I'm tryna double and triple what I make on the side
And still keep a positive message and make it rhyme
Keep the fame, I been in this shit for saving lives
[Chorus]
I'ma get it right this time (This time)
I'ma get it right this time (This time around)
We been working on this side
In the late night
And the daytime (This time around)
I'ma get it right this time (This time)
I'ma get it right this time (This time around)
We been working on this side
In the late night
And the daytime (This time around)
[Verse 2]
Yeah
I been chasing my dreams
Been through a lot of losses, I gotta take for the team
Telling 'em, "Stay patient, the wait ain't as bad as it seems"
But just don't ask if I'm practicing what I preach
I'm tryna reach the people who been in need
We tryna eat, got people I wanna feed
They need advice, I'll take 'em under my wing
'Cause in a blink I know I could lose everything
I don't wanna be remembered by people I know
For being rich, wearing chains, and getting hoes
I would do this for free, it ain't all about the dough
I'm tryna bring to the table something relatable
Yeah, being the good guy could take a toll
But I can't be young and dumb still when I get old
I care 'bout making a difference more than the records sold
Long as the fans got my hand to hold
[Chorus]
I'ma get it right this time (This time)
I'ma get it right this time (This time around)
We been working on this side
In the late night
And the daytime (This time around)
I'ma get it right this time (This time)
I'ma get it right this time (This time around)
We been working on this side
In the late night
And the daytime (This time around)
