Music my flesh and blood, it′s been my only love since ye high

I used to play Jay high and Ye high

Thinkin' one day I would go from fan to fuckin′ player

I guess I found a way huh, my nigga Cozz wants Zendaya

A side note, I'm rootin' for you

I use these bars and start recruitin′ for you

But treat her right

And just remember, on your lonely nights this mic will be your friend

You tell it all your secrets that you keepin′ deep within

Your fantasies, regrets, your happy moments and your sins

And if he doesn't comprehend, at least he can pretend

Let′s begin to be the men we never seen

In the '80s they smoke crack but now today they sippin′ lean

And poppin' Xannies

Fuck niggas runnin′ from their families

The streets don't give a fuck about the Grammys

Wish I could talk to granny, wish I could smoke in peace

But when I hit the blunt lately my mind it tortures me

Everything ain't supposed to be, apparently

I take it as a sign and stick the shit that′s steerin′ me

In the direction of some clarity

This music is my therapy, I thank the Lord 'cause he care for me

How else I make it this far? (Far)

Uh, music is my soul and fuel

I guess it only saves a chosen few

From goin′ to school or sellin' dope, crazy

Back in school, I was bumpin′ Cole daily

Now I'm writin′ rhymes in the notebook that Cole gave me

And bro you so crazy, but all I can do is thank you

You threw your boy a lob, and shit, I ain't even say to

But fuck it, all that shit he stay true

'Cause you a dime, I′m sure you hear that every day, cool

So look, fuck bein′ fine 'cause I know you got a brain too

And shit, let me not get my plate full, you know your brain moves

A little different when you haven′t ate food

So I'ma leave it up to fate to make these decisions

And stick to my intentions

I did it for more of the passion, not the great checks

Knowin′ that there's more than fat asses and great sex

Tryna be the man I ain′t yet

But demons stuck on me like ashes on gray sweats

'Cause man I ain't made shit, and I′m lackin′ the patience

It's a battle to take in′ the fact that I ain't win, yet

What am I sayin′, I can't go play and win

I travel and take trips, I look to God then I thank Him

Look, I ain′t got money to blow, but I'm gettin' there, dawg

Can′t get momma a home, but I′m gettin' there y′all

Won't reach the end of the road, just sittin′ there dawg

How you gon' learn to grow if you ain′t listenin' y'all?

Look, I′m still a student of the game but I been through some things

And I could school you rather say don′t be clueless in the brain

You gotta learn to fly before you cruisin' with the planes

And you could be a boss, just gotta do it in your lane

Choosin′ and choose to pray instead of choosin' to pray to use and abuse for pay

You doin′ it for the love or you doin' it to get praised?

What would you do for fame?

If it was family or money, they probably lose you today

Probably go buy a car and try and coupe with the pain

Sometimes homies and hoes is truly the same

Try and screw you for change, yeah, it′s truly a shame

But somehow I seem to see the beauty in the rain

I made it this far
