[Verse 1]

Truth be told

Since nine years old

Wearing Jordan 3's

When it’s four below

Wasn’t tall enough, wasn’t good enough

But I worked hard to achieve my goals

Remember shooting hoops outside my papas house

To escape the world had to block it out

When there’s three seconds on the shot clock

Do you pass the ball or go and knock it down?

There are many types of people

Those who turn there dreams into reality

When others fall asleep thinking

This is out of reach and a fallacy

I’m from a small town down in Massachusetts

Many people hated now the masses choose this

Flows sick no cap with bad pollution

I’m a basket case with a missing screw bitch, yeah

Everyday in life is a gamble

Turned my Rocky past into lead, sharp like Rambo

Now I take all my pain on the track

And load up the clip with unlimited ammo

So if your misinformed, I’m the new school

Never will conform , might not have degrees

But I am not the norm

What’s a PhD when you heal with songs

[Chorus]

Made a promise no label will label me

I really hope that I can keep it

Heard fame is a deadly disguise

Hope my loved ones are there when I need them

I feel things are starting to change

I’m packing my bags and I’m leaving

Not expecting to blow anyday

All this stress I just hope I make even

[Verse 2]

Truth be told

This industry is tough

Give a smile back comes a shoulder shrug

People promise shit but never follow through

Don’t pretend to like me I am not your bud

Might be nineteen but I am not a kid

Deal with more shit than you could comprehend

I dropped everything to pursue this shit

I asked for a sub not some money bitch

I give the shirt off my back

For people who would never do the same

Now they all flocking back with a different tone

And a song to play, and I’m to nice to say fuck off

So I hold it in and we celebrate

I go so much more to do

Long nights 2AM up in the stu'

Thank god for the ones who stuck around

Stay inspired never needed drugs or booze

Never needed your criticism too

But it damn well, made the fire fuel

Still got anxiety daily and depression but what I am to do?

Can’t sit here and dwell upon the past

Even though happiness can never last

And I wish my mom would understand me

But we both know that will never happen

So thank god I’m gifted with this my music

To heal all my stresses, scars and bruises

And when your doubted all your life

You better not slow down until you prove it, yeah

[Chorus]

Made a promise no label will label me

I really hope that I can keep it

Heard fame is a deadly disguise

Hope my loved ones are there when I need them

I feel things are starting to change

I’m packing my bags and I’m leaving

Not expecting to blow anyday

All this stress I just hope I make even

Made a promise no label will label me

I really hope that I can keep it

Heard fame is a deadly disguise

Hope my loved ones are there when I need them

I feel things are starting to change

I’m packing my bags and I’m leaving

Not expecting to blow anyday

All this stress I just hope I make even
