[Verse 1]

Isolated till the day I finally make it

I’m in a prison that i’ll never try escaping

Failure is the only thing I’m not okay with

Keep it real and stay true despite the hatred

If I die that’ll be my final statement

I can’t be happy if I’m fake so why debate it

I keep on hearing that the rapper life’s amazing

That’s a dream and ima find the time to chase it

It’s hard to say if i’ll be doing this in 10 years

But these past years have really been my best years

Working towards a dream, working for the next tier

There’s nothing else I wanna do the convo ends here

Just need my head clear so I can work with less fear

But I work on everything like I know deaths near

That’s why I spend less time seeing friends and peers

Because I’m practicing my art and i’ve been getting geared

For a fight that could maybe last a lifetime

I’m doing this my own way don’t need a guideline

Right now i would say my life is quite fine

Then again I’m not far on my timeline

I think about the future more than the present

And I think about failing more than progressing

But that’s pessimistic tendencies my recognition better be, on levels they ain’t never seen


[Hook]

So i’m isolated till the day I make it

Till the day I see that my time wasn’t wasted

I’m just slaving away, spending all of my days

Tryna rise from the bottom i’ll do whatever it takes


[Verse 2]

Isolated till the day I am successful

Until the day I finally reach my full potential

And once I reach it ima get up even higher

Keeping momentum in the moments very dire

You can’t put out the fire that’ll burn eternally

Never had any interest in universities

I’d rather learn to be happy internally, and be the best rapper commercially and maybe universally

In the slim chance I start to lose interest, and I find myself drifting i’ll keep fighting for those who listen

The saddest thing I see in music’s seeing dreams die

Take the fans and potential and leave em behind

I’ll never let myself be another failed musician

Who had to live a life knowing that they bailed a vision

The only way I’m gonna stop is if I’m killed

Don’t need a watch or need some grills, I just want all the people feeling my songs

And I’m grateful for the ones I got

I know there’s many more to come and ima run the top

But first I gotta get there and I just wanna live where I do the music for a living I am not a bit scared

I know I got this, doubt it then just watch it

You should know that winnings my only option

You think my next work is just another mixtape

Nah it’s something way bigger homie just wait
