Chorus:

How Long it gonna take to break through?

You could either let this hate motivate or break you

They say a lot of things about me that just ain’t true

But I made a promise to myself to stay faithful

To my art, this my heart, this my passion

They can talk all they want

They won’t get a reaction

I had to cut the distractions

I had a call to take action

This is that law of attraction

You gotta see it before it happen

Verse 1:

From the drop

Man I give this all I got

Calling a&r’s and bloggers

But can’t get a response

I guess cuz I ain’t popping yet

Okay just watch

Remember even Steve jobs started off in a garage

Nobody wanna fuck with you til everybody fuck with you

Then once they do watch how they get so comfortable

Act like you owe me something

Like they grew up with you

When you was broke and hungry

They the first to eat in front of you

That’s why I’m sticking with the same team

Shouts to otto, Tony, jack, Tyler, ac

We on the way

Man I seen this shit in a dream

And shout to every fuckin fan that’s been believing in me lets get it

Verse 2 (Mark Battles):

Hey you, yeah come over here

Enjoy the vibe look

I’m going full throttle

Til my knees wobble

You can always rep the squad

Know the 3’s got you

I’m still seeing through the mist like a febreeze bottle

A lot of ni**as turn they back and make the team hostile

But that pain could help you grow

It’s my turn on the low I feel I had to let em know so if you hesitate

Might get second place

She say she love me

Let me hit it on the second date

Them lame ni**as side eyeing had to set em straight

Impress the greats measure fate then I record break

You see I plan to be the greatest first a man must understand a chance before he take it

Ima be underrated

And that’s a understatement

It’s hard come from places they don’t value preservation

And nothings ever sacred

Let the love conquer hatred

Get caught up in the matrix

Battles

Verse 3:

Lost a lot of friends and I lost of patience lost a lot a faith in people dealing with the fakeness said they'd be around for me but we ain't spoke in ages so when they say they dap me up that shit just makes me anxious I'm trying not to let this world take my heart from me trying to see the light but at times it's fucking hard for me cuz only time they come around is when they see me popping like hey bro I saw you online aye when that cd dropping can I cop a few cuz your shit hot for real then when you down you disappear like David copperfield so it's hard to feel I could just pop a pill big that ain't me so I treat this pain like dr phil member the days of hey Arnold and trl nowadays it's hard just to be our selves so fuck it I don't know what I need in life to fill the void I'm moving at the speed of light
