[Verse 1]

There’s a lot of things I gotta say to you

But can’t wear my heart on my sleeve

Its a little bit colder this summer don’t want it to freeze

What it is, like a hundred degrees

Some people get burnt in this heat

Will I face my demons or sleep

Only time will tell if I break

Only really wanna break through my mind

Cause it feel like I’m suffocating

Only need more patience I know

But I’m fucking sick of waiting, of course i’ve been ready to blow

I was like fuck money and fame

Now, I need that fasho'

But it feel like my dream is so distant

Cause I want it so instantly

Been doubting if it was meant to be

I know the devil keep testing me

I’m sipping on henny, I gotta go get it

These motherfuckas ain’t hipped to me

I’ve been hella focus tryna get this paper

You don’t really see the struggle in my eyes

I'm barely sleeping every single fuckin night

I guess I’m really getting closer to the light

And I ain’t taking no days off

I swear I'm a give it my all

Money not the only reason that I’m chasing

I don’t really wanna fall

I can feel the pressure getting heavy

While I’m elevating in the clouds

Lord save me from doubts


[Hook 2X]

I know you see me in the magazine

You think I’m living glamorous

But I ain’t living like that

Still I’m far from average


[Verse 2]

Every time I disappear

Gotta come back 10 times stronger

Cause they think I’m falling off but really don’t know whats up

Cause I've been working 24/7

Stressing about the paper

Really don’t know if I’m gon make it

But I am trusting in myself anyway

Don’t got no time for anybody that’s hating on me

Swear I’m a shine

And i really ain’t got no time to be wasting

I swear that this mine

Cause I’m sick of the people that's looking at me

Like I’m supposed to be the realest emcee right now

And maybe I am

But I wasn’t working hard enough when I was younger

Damn

Now look at me damn it, I’m 23

I know ain’t nobody as hot as me

I’m probably gon fuck up the game once I get in it

Yeah yeah

My flow gon' get crazy I promise just wait on it

I’ve been really at my lowest point

Money really got my attention

And I’m fucking this game up

But wanna know how long its gon take till I blow up

Fuck it I'm a just roll up

And blow smoke out my window

I’ve been living on a cloud these days

And I don’t plan to come down


[Hook 2X]

I know you see me in the magazine

You think I’m living glamorous

But I ain’t living like that

Still I’m far from average
