When No One Is Watching

I’m knowing where I’m going
Never slowing down the pace, I know whats it takes
To be great, I been up for days, getting to the dream
Stacking cream, life ain't always what it seems and I said it now
Everyone who ever doubted the kid I’ma dead it now
Ima get it now, I’m in the zone, rather be alone
Don’t hitin up my phone, taking off I’m high and I’m gone
I been working when no is watching on the low
Lifes a stage, pick your role
I been at it everyday, can’t you see this dedication
I been patient, this is hard work meeting gods creation
Reminicin walking to Keg and Bottle, buying beers
Cooling with the homies talking bout how the futures near
Rest in peace to mimi, I know you probably see me
Looking down on us, you can count on us
See me getting up now they wanna be down was up
And when you finally make it they’ll say ahh its luck
I’m back cookin up in my room, getting distant from friends
Reaching our goals in 2010 just seemed so immense
We was sitting together waiting for school to commence
And now we made out hoping things work out I guess, Yes
Reminding myself that its all about the journey
Knowing its hard to sleep just had a dream that I was gone at thirty
Or was it 27, must of died and went to heaven
Hoping I stay level headed, cause I don’t know where I’m headed
I’m tired of people living like they gonna live forever
Recognize time is limited, putting effort to every letter
Now that I’m back home I’m riding with the windows down
Curisng thru D.P. and I still ain't made a sound
Why these people want to wait around, catching breaks
They taking about their dreams but not what it takes
I’m not concerned about anyone blowing up next
The girl Im talking to wondering why i haven sent the text
I came to the conclusion, that they won’t ever get it
But when it pops off then they say i knew you’d get it
But i get it, thats just how it goes, I been down that road
Give the money fuck the fame I said it before
This is the life I chose yes I made the decision
Putting off relationships to go follow the vision
And what happened to doing this simply for the passion
They quick to do it for the bitches, cameras, and action
Coming home from work, sitting at the dinner table
Posting links to the music, Looking for appraisal
Thats not the way it works, thats not the way it goes
Let me drown these thoughts out with gin I suppose
Sending songs back and forth, needing feedback
Hoping for someone to listen I really did need that
Flashbacks to thursdays pulling up at Tonic
Walk inside the club and none of them bitches is poppin
Back then I couldn’t see past a beautiful face
But beautiful women only good enough to slow the pace
Back home now, years pass and things change
Seeing familiar faces who won’t even look my way
And when dreams don’t pay the bills it starts to get real
Wondering if i should keep these thoughts concealed
Its way to real
