I got some, fake friends, who don't give a s**t about me

I don't, need them, still got real 1s all around me

Imma, break bread, with the ones who always got me

Now my fingers turning blue because these hunneds what I'm thumbin'

Got some, new hoes, who don't know a thing 'bout lovin'

Got some, new foes, envying what I'm becoming

I count, blue notes, had to build the brand from nothing

I just flew out of the country cuz I'm really up to something yeah yah

I had my path chosen but I took a different route

I'm reaching for the sky so got my head up in the clouds

I didn't pass up Eng just not to make my mama proud

I built this brick by brick just like a 1900s house

The sacrifices was real

I never learned how to heal

And now my hearts made of steel

'Cuz I can't love

The sacrifices was real

This lifestyles far from ideal

I love it still

I handed that diploma to my parents then I went and made some songs

I never had a normal life there was too much going on

It felt like 5 years down the drain and now my youth is gone

But I got some bigger dreams, that's the price for what I want

I got some, fake friends, who don't give a s**t about me

I don't, need them, still got real 1s all around me

Imma, break bread, with the ones who always got me

Now my fingers turning blue because these hunneds what I'm thumbin'

Got some, new hoes, who don't know a thing 'bout lovin'

Got some, new foes, envying what I'm becoming

I count, blue notes, had to build the brand from nothing

I just flew out of the country cuz I'm really up to something yeah yah

I had my life picture perfect had it planned out

I had a plan but then I flipped the scripture back round

My whole life I was never one to take the fast route

There ain't no fast route

If you're really tryna achieve greatness

I was so confused I hated it

But then I took a risk

And now this here's the most amazing s**t

I done escaped the matrix

Diamonds look like constellations

I just wanna tell my family I made it

I handed that diploma to my parents then I went and made some songs

I never had a normal life there was too much going on

It felt like 5 years down the drain and now my youth is gone

But I got some bigger dreams, that's the price for what I want

I got some, fake friends, who don't give a s**t about me

I don't, need them, still got real 1s all around me

Imma, break bread, with the ones who always got me

Now my fingers turning blue because these hunneds what I'm thumbin'

Got some, new hoes, who don't know a thing 'bout lovin'

Got some, new foes, envying what I'm becoming

I count, blue notes, had to build the brand from nothing

I just flew out of the country cuz I'm really up to something yeah yah
