[Verse 1]

Feels like forever since I've felt this way

Hoped and wished for this nearly every day

Walking on this planet with this talent given

Hoping deep down that someone would listen

Never thought I'd see myself where I am now

Upon my king's throne, wearing that gold crown

'Cause deep down, I wanna be prestigious

Feeling so blessed, but I'm far from religious

Aim for the gold, once I get it, I show it

Plan for the future, but live in the moment

A hard climb, but I conquered the mountain

Feel the glory rain on me like a fountain

The praise and hate alike, I honour it

All the talent given, I will never squander it

While making it now is unlikely

Your love and support give me the strength I need


[Hook]

Held on so long to these dreams

Wished they'd come true by any means

Now I know it's all up to me

I know that I'll have a chance

If I believe


[Verse 2]

A few pitfalls along the way

A few people that would sit, hope and pray

That if I failed, I would wallow and surrender

That I would give up on my adventure

Had a few people try and harass me

Private numbers that would mock and sass me

Sayin' they'd love my music untill the end

When all along, they were playing pretend

But I won't be seeing them ever again

Not with the heights I achieve with this pen

All they really want is attention

This will be the only time that I mention

All their bitter tactics, all their jealous phrases

All the faux praise, masked upon their faces

They say nothing that can do any use

But I still thank them, with a middle finger salute


[Hook]


[Verse 3]

Last verse for my fans and supporters

Who held me up when I was underwater

Showed the ropes when I first got started

And taught me to always put my heart in

That includes all my friends and my family

Who helped me get over many tragedies

Those who told me I should never start slowing

When things get tough, I should get going

I'm thankful I have you all on my back

That you enjoy it when you spin a track

Thank you so much, you helped with my peace!

All my problems now feel so released!

And it took a little push just to go and do it

So for that, just know that you're the truest

Friends I've ever had, nothin' else above it all

It'll never change, when I say I love you all


[Hook]
