Just wanna thank everybody who made it this far without skippin
Shout out to all my home boys
U know who u are
My brothers, my whole family
Anyone who ever believed in me
i appreciate y’all for staying down
(Truly)
Thanks for listening
I’ve always just wanted to be heard
That’s my dream come true
So with all that said
gratitude
this ones for y’all
Listen
V.1:
As the world turns, I feel myself gettin older/
Just witnessed my 27th, yet there's still so much to shoulder/
That's why I'm never sober, feeling pressure fore' it's over/
Faded, smoking doja, tryna maintain my composure/
Steady tryna make the most of, everything just like I'm supposed to/
Fightin like a Soulja, cooking up that rap ambrosia/
And I'm back just like I told ya, so hold up let me speak/
I just wanna give a thanks to all those who been there for me/
Cuz man it's been too long, since I last released some new shit/
And damn it's been too long, since I showed y'all can do this/
Music for the soul, music for the young and bold/
And despite all of my setbacks, I just wanted y'all to know/
That I'll never let u down, never never let u down/
And if u still ridin wit me, then you know what I'm about/
I'ma say out loud, Sacramento California/
Homie shout out to the town, we some natural born warriors/
Visions of a king, based on what Ive lived and seen/
Writing songs for lost souls, and for all the kids wit dreams/
I ain't never giving up, and I'll never be taken down/
I know that I been away but see this year I make my rounds/
And to all those who stayed down, I appreciate it all/
Swear no more waiting around, man I can't wait till we ball/
And trust it's comin soon, that's on everything I got/
I can see it now, Me and my team eating on top/
HOOK:2x
It's a everyday hustle, a struggle just to maintain/
A story about redemption, ambition, deep/true love and pain/
The overcoming of fears, tragedies and defeats/
Thankful for all my loved ones, cuz y'all the reason I breathe/
Passion, appreciation, and loyalty to the streets/
V.2
Time waits for no man, many years pass by/
Never realizing potential, until the year that they die/
(Shiiit) Either they fear to try or they just settle for less/
But me I refuse to settle, and my only fear is neglect/
Neglect of my family, all my dreams and what matters most/
Swear I'll NEVER let that happen, that's why I b doin shows/
Grinding on the low, in the studio and on the road/
Daily workin toward my goals, makin sure I master my flow/
And yea it's been a journey, every step of the way/
Didn't know how I was gonna make it, but still I never lost faith/
Doin what it takes, tryna rep for my generation/
Breathing life into these beats with this lyrical ventilation/
Writing with concentration, composing songs in the thousands/
Puttin on for my fam, cuz man I'm nothin without em/
It's Me against the world baby just witness the Outcome/
Stayin true to my vow, till I drop my last album/
HOOK:2x
It's a everyday hustle, a struggle just to maintain/
A story about redemption, ambition deep love and pain/
The overcoming of fears, tragedies and defeats/
Thankful for all my loved ones, cuz y'all the reason I breathe/
Passion, appreciation, and loyalty to the streets/
OUTRO
That’s right
I would of never made it this far if it wasn’t for y’all
So it’s nothin but love
Family is everything
and i promise I’ll never forget who was there for me
No matter what
Just watch
Well b eating at the top no doubt
