Told my mom at 17, I'm goin' be a famous rapper
Wish that you could see here face, hear the conversations after
Pressure only made me grown, it's who you are when shit get tough
Though of course I made mistakes, tripped an fell then got back up
Butterfly better me, saving all my energy
Grew up on truck bed sipping only Tennessee
Cruising down the county line, sun sets evergreen
We was jus some small town kids, in our reckless teens
I remember driving to the city first time I seen the skyline paused
Felt so out of place but somehow knew I'd be a star
Always felt a voice inside me something speaking thru my heart
It's crazy thinking how a decade in this game feel like the start
Remember Chris's spot
Remember recording my vocals the same night they'd drop
Remember how the sun would shine thru that window pane
While I rapped about my pain, never thought those days would change
But they changed, but they changed, who knew, yea
Yea they changed, yea they changed
Conversations with my homie dan, an' he still beside me too
Playing shows for empty rooms, spinning on them 1's & 2's
Back when we was almost broke, we both knew our time was due
Having all these earthly visions, while our head was on moon
I'm still tryna make a mill, put my homies on for life
Buy myself a piece of land, somewhere on the country side
Not as easy as it seemed, couldn't work a 9 to 5
Hard to be so concentrated, when I didn't feel alive
I hate admitting that I sobbed when the factory cut my job
Felt alone, felt depressed, my future was being robbed
Kinda wild how that set back turned me to what I am
All that self doubt, I lost control and it forced my hand
To believe in me, I believe in me
Can't believe that don't come easily, don't come easily
Care too much it start hold back, start to hold me back, yea
Start to hold me back...
