Verse 1:
Let me take this time to be perfectly honest
I used to think of this rap sh** as some kind of a contest
Always trying to make progress & trying to be the best
But in the end that means less love & more stress
& I confess I was trying to impress
The rest, even though I ended up being depressed
I guess I was too concerned with other people's opinions
Overconfident when I was speaking to women
So many people were neglecting my tracks
Because I was bragging in 90% of my raps
Perhaps it was a little too much, I admit it
So now it's time to switch it up and do something different
So I'ma make my rhymes and my lyrics more conceptual
Intellectual mind trying to be exceptional
Working on my craft & making it more professional
Waiting for the day the people put me on a pedestal
Verse 2:
Many years in this music sh**, I felt left out
And I won't deny that it's something I used to stress 'bout
Got my sh** together now, yes and now there's less doubt
I just wanna make music, f** being the best out
Time to take a different route, listen as I switch lanes
At a point where my music's going through a big change
Lot of friends who sniff caine, me? I'm on that mary jane
Puff puff pa**ing while I'm making music everyday
That's the perfect getaway, sort of like vacations
These lyrics daily help me to escape these situations
I spent alot of hard work, crazy dedication
Trying to stay on track just to reach my destination
Just a year ago, I was always busy playing chicks
Now I got a pretty girl in a relationship
In pursuit of happiness like will & jaden smith
Plan to enjoy my life until I'm 86
