[Pre-Chorus: RoZe]

It's funny how it all

Started with a vision

I was chillin' with my dogs

Tryna to talk to bitches

But them bitches blew me off

Now everything is different

'Cause they wishing they could just give me a call

Guess that's how it is


[Chorus: RoZe]

When it's just a matter of time

Guess that's how it is

When they choose to ignore the signs

Guess that's how it is

When you make it and everybody that you knew or

Went to school with wants to suddenly come around

Guess that's how it is


[Verse 1: Abstract]

What's that shit? Nah, what'd you say?

Oh, you swore you'd never see the day?

Here's some shine for all the days

That you people painted my skies gray

Front like shit, don't get back to me

Think I don't know who backin' me

I can tell who speaks sincere to me

Hearing me, fearing me

Damn, I hope you are

I'll become that star

Going so damn hard

Flow like a fountain of youth, fountain of truth

Given the game CPR

Bring it back to life, to afterlife

So hit the lights, I ain't even gotta tell you twice

We are the artists, so paint your life

Don't you worry about what other people's canvas like

As far as we know, this life is as far as we go

I'd like to believe in a Heaven and alternate ending but I can't be sure

So I'ma just do what I can, be a good person and do what I love

Came to the realization that what you work for is what you will become

I know it, I seen it—I mean, goddamn it, I'll be it

Coming up, they weren't supportive

Now I see 'em around and they making me nervous

Shaking my hand like a whole 'nother person

Tryna act like we all cool, like this what a little bit of shine do

A couple blog posts, a couple million views


[Pre-Chorus: RoZe]

It's funny how it all

Started with a vision

I was chillin' with my dogs

Tryna to talk to bitches

But them bitches blew me off

Now everything is different

'Cause they wishing they could just give me a call

Guess that's how it is


[Chorus: RoZe]

When it's just a matter of time

Guess that's how it is

When they choose to ignore the signs

Guess that's how it is

When you make it and everybody that you knew or

Went to school with wants to suddenly come around

Guess that's how it is


[Verse 2: Abstract]

Nah, I ain't made it yet

Lots to do before I claim it yet

But I can see some people changing

I ain't even getting paper yet

Show you this ain't overnight

On my grind like an overbite

Fly on the wall 'til I hit the web

These bloodsuckers wanna see me dead

My real friends wanna see me win

Y'all know that I fuck with them

Down with those chasing passions and not just drinks in they glasses

Know some who stuck in distractions 'cause it's a plan that they lacking

They see me chasing a dream and I feel their hate's automatic

That's messed up, that's jealousy, that's not a reason to not fuck with me

Acting weird around the kid 'cause you know we about to do it big

Instead of hating on the shit

I invite you to come along

Instead of thinking you too cool

I invite you to sing along

'Cause this EP about to be droppin'

And when it does, hope that you cop it

'Cause we have been working too long and too hard to ever be thinking of stopping

But people come and people go

Things change just to help us grow

These days I ain't one to stump

But some tracks you gotta let 'em know


[Pre-Chorus: RoZe]

It's funny how it all

Started with a vision

I was chillin' with my dogs

Tryna to talk to bitches

But them bitches blew me off

Now everything is different

'Cause they wishing they could just give me a call

Guess that's how it is


[Chorus: RoZe]

When it's just a matter of time

Guess that's how it is

When they choose to ignore the signs

Guess that's how it is

When you make it and everybody that you knew or

Went to school with wants to suddenly come around

Guess that's how it is
