[Verse 1: Futuristic] Writin' verses, re-word 'em until they're perfect I'm certain that I should make it, but will I? It got me nervous Feel like this my purpose and everybody heard it They would see that I'm that person who's workin' and I deserve it If only they could see me through my mama's eyes I apologize, I quit college, she's disappointed but not surprised I ain't got no time for these n***as that I grew up with They smokin' and they drinkin' with women I used to f** with I've been enough sh**, all I do is spit raps Scrapped over diss tracks, k**ed n***as at kickbacks At the party at Mill Ave. and everybody know it's me Hope that I can make it without a hater approachin' me My team is gettin' smaller, I keep my circle tight And got these women fallin' like leaves do in Autumn My n***as don't understand me, my fans be goin' the hardest I just keep to myself, and keep focused on my target Ahh! [Hook: Futuristic] Yeah, I gave my all from the start I'm workin' hard, I'm workin' long I play my part,I'm workin' smart I'm on my own, feel all alone I had no home, I need a clone, and all my people gone Long days, cold nights Long days, cold nights Long days, cold nights Long days, cold nights [Verse 2: SwizZz] Look Jealousy is creepin', I can sense it from afar Ain't nothin new to me, I've blanketed too many scars Homies that chose another route, now wanna get involved But who would you depend on if tomorrow it all fell apart? Cold days, long nights, feelin' under-appreciated but that is all right I'm forced to turn my back, and lift my head
A couple of tears had to be shed My past is f**in' up vision so it's hard to look ahead I gotta keep focused, false motives Pushin' me to abandon n***as that I used to roll with We used to be the closest, I love you like my brother But your girl f**ed up your head and carved out your true colors I stuck with an empty bottle and kush that got me trippin' I adapted to the bullsh** n***as do, now I'm indifferent f** sittin' and wishin' and it will not help me out Because it is what it is, even when it's hard to smile Zeeeed up [Hook] [Verse 3: Futuristic] Yo, okay that show last night was crazy, these ladies wanna have my baby I told my pops that I wouldn't ever let no p**y phase me But damn she look like Beyonce and my flow is strong as Jay-Z But without that would she want me or even want to date me? Huh? f** her and leave her, guess I don't need her Hear her voice in my head, she only hear mine through the speakers And I teach her to cope with it I'm on the road with the snow hittin' the windshield, damn it's a cold winter Radio interviews used to seem huge, now it's miniscule, addressin' the reasons I get ridiculed "Futuristic rap like every n***a that you listen to, not original dude" Shut the f** up, I ain't in the mood Wish I could call my grandmother and tell her I love her I miss her fallin' asleep while that dinner was in the oven I miss prankin' my brother, I wanna hug him I wanna send him something, accomplish so much But it feel like nothing, nah [Hook]
