[Verse 1: Kevin Hackett]

I was using both my pockets as a wallet for some cash

Surrounded by these papers making comics in the class

I’m a hero, I’m a menace

Young Denis with the pad

I’m a legend, armageddon, tryna tell myself all that

Till’ they beat me up, kicked me down

Slapped me in the face

Tell me who are you

All your fears

All the things you hate

You’re alone

On your own

With everything u create uh

Seven seven years old already tryna find my way

Now I'm tryna be God level, that’s why they don’t believe in me, I

Knew I was more than the helpless kid I seemed to be, I’m

Living in sparrow court, I didn’t need to be fly

Didn’t fit in easily, I

Live for a reason, see now

I need all the credit I deserve, I deserve

From the 90s in July till' when I die and I leave earth

Right from birth, write my worth

For my soul I search

Took fear at it’s worse, no one had the nerve


[Chorus 1: Levi Hinson & Drew Famous]

Running from the highs and the lows, never stop

Laying low till' I find a road to the top

Never gon' fold, cause I know what I want

And I got it on my wrist, y'all will never break it off

Running from the highs and the lows, never stop

Laying low till' I find a road to the top

Never gon' fold, cause I know what I want

And I got it on my wrist, y'all will never break it off


[Chorus 2: Kevin Hackett]

Now all they say is eat, sleep, eat, sleep

Make it out alive

I don't wanna die, got a bounty on my life

So I eat, sleep, eat, sleep, make it out alive

They say they dedicated but they've been living a lie

So I eat, sleep, eat, sleep, make it out alive

I don't wanna die, got a bounty on my life

So I eat, sleep, eat, sleep, make it out alive

Look me in my eyes, tell me that you killed my pride

No way


[Verse 2: Kevin Hackett]

I had a dream it wasn’t hard to see

But it gets hard to sleep, dedication is taunting me

Sold my soul to these goals, without knowing what it had costed me

Till' it became apart of me, part of me feels numb

Exhausted, but fear none

Been honest since year one

This heart that can beat drums

This talk in my ear drums singing

You ain't need to study, you ain't, you ain't need to work

You don't even need this money the minute you leave this earth The feelin' is getting worse

With every dollar I earn

A little part of me dies, see the size of my urn

See my eyes while they burn at the sight of your success

Little moments of my failure, thinking that i am less

The more jealous that I get, the more my nose grows

I've always been insecure, I lie, it just shows

So I need all the credit I deserve

The life that you’ve been livin' is different than in your words

While ever since a kid I’ve been driven for something worth

All my limits till' I finish give my all to this world

While I dive in head first, I might drown in the lake

I hate growing up, that's the sound of my angst

They got a lot up in their cup, I got pounds on my plate

I need a sound I can paint and maybe encounter a saint

I'm lazy and counting on pain to pay me a visit

Cause lately a different state ain't been giving the inspiration envisioned

This space is different, days are blending into one in the same

The pace is quick, I stay pretending I got something to say
