[Verse 1]

Rapping with an X-Box microphone in front of a mirror

The vision has always been clear and now I am here

Never had a big team all I needed was a mic

Don’t need a bed, only pen and pad to get through the night

Yeah my future is so bright, but I stay quiet

Never told nobody 'bout this now look what I’ve created

I’ve been hated but at least my life ain’t wasted

Take a look at the picture I’ve painted while y’all waited

For a miracle. I wanna get my family out of that 9 to 5

Y’all don’t know what it’s like, what I’ve survived

I wanna see em in my crowd at a sold out show one day

I came a long way now I don’t give a fuck what thеy say

Yeah fuck what they say, let thеm hate

So done with snakes I won’t ever break

It takes courage to say the words that others are afraid to say

I won’t leave I’m here to stay


[Hook]

This is all I know

Independent low-key

I won’t leave, I’m here to stay

I’m self-made

This is all I know

Independent low-key

I won’t leave, I’m here to stay

I’m self-made


[Verse 2]

I’m always fully charged, what you tryna plug out

You don’t see the vision, you’re getting cut out

I will build a house out of the stones in my way

Want me to leave now, one day you’ll hope that I stay

Always been the different kid, tell me what you know about this

Your doubt only makes me stronger, you don’t know about shit

Music 'till the day I die, more than just business

We’re keeping it real 'till the day I quit this

Afraid to die, afraid to live what a way to exist

Can these lyrics help the kid who sticks a blade through their wrist?

If I’d die now, would I even be missed?

They say shit’s getting too serious, go back to happiness

Maybe everyone is right and this has a shady side

But I wanna live this crazy life until the day I die

It’s all I got left, everyone else has left

Maybe that’s better more time to perfect my craft


[Hook]

This is all I know

Independent low-key

I won’t leave, I’m here to stay

I’m self-made

This is all I know

Independent low-key

I won’t leave, I’m here to stay

I’m self-made


[Verse 3]

I’ve been down but I don’t wanna stay at this place

Real ones only, the fake people have been replaced

Now they‘re all behind me, begging me like, please wait

The industry ignores real and fake gets the least hate

Fuck a 9-2-5 I’m gonna be my own boss

The ones who don’t believe in me, y’all ain’t no loss

They keep asking me what I wanna be when I grow up

I’m thinking you will see when I blow up


[Hook]

This is all I know

Independent low-key

I won’t leave, I’m here to stay

I’m self-made

This is all I know

Independent low-key

I won’t leave, I’m here to stay

I’m self-made
