Yeah, yeah
Imma tell it how it is
Dreaming about doin this
Never fit in to the mix
Knew that I gotta move quick
Never be sittin down cuz I been missin out everything I gotta get, yeah
Had to sell 25 tickets to get on the stage and I'll never forget
They don't believe in me
They want the money they steal from me
I kept my confidence cuz I know what it is
I put in time and now nobody steerin' me
Whole time I was in school
Writing rhymes in my dorm room
Took 6 years of long days
I'm 23 like MJ
I'm here
Up and away
Used to broke but I knew it would change
Gave up my happiness it was a shame
Caught up in numbers and getting the plays
I let it go
Then I begun
Now that I'm back I been ready to run
Know it's a journey but I'm always learning
I feel like the man that I knew I'd become, yeah

4 In the morning I'm feeling wide awake
They said I couldn't do it had to find a way
Know it's gonna happen any day now
It's too late I can never fade out

I got a long way to go
I'm in a league of my own
I don't got time to compare
People be thinkin I care
Nah
Focused on me
I got a family to feed
I got a goal to achieve
I got a lot on my plate
And none of it goin to waste
Think about me
I'm doin fine
Mama be callin I don't got the time
What does that mean
Maybe I'm lost
Maybe the journey must come with a cost
Nothin is free
That what I'm told
All of this missin out been gettin old
Hope it's all worth it
Nothin for certain
Maybe I'll see but right now I don't know
Yea the money good
But my life tough
I've been happy and been rough
I sacrifice all the better times just hoping that it all pays off
I know now I don't speak enough
It's been hard just keepin up
With good days
Need better ones
Don't stress out
Imma let it come
I know

4 In the morning I'm feeling wide awake
They said I couldn't do it had to find a way
Know it's gonna happen any day now
It's too late I can never fade out
