Different brother but it's the same ish
Frank Gallagher them man are just shameless
I've been knowing what pain is
There ain't nothing in life that's painless
This life made a young man age quick
If man can see the state my brain's in
Believe me, I know what mental state is
I've seen man turn into mental cases
Trust me, been there, done that
Long dark nights, I had to get that bus back
Working from one paycheck to another
Dead that I wanna have nuff stacked
I want to invest in myself
But my parents are pushing me towards a career
And I need to prove them wrong
But the time to do so is coming near
Like I ain't prepared, I'm a little bit scared
Like what if I don't succeed
And what if it don't go the way I want it to
And I don't live out my dream
I don't want to be famous, don't want to be broke
Just somewhere in between
It was me and the studio alone
I don't want to hear man talk about team
Like where was you when I was out here
No handouts and no advice
And where was you when I was cooking up
Until mad hours into the night
And where was you when I was getting lectured
About not using my degree
And where was you when the only person
Who believed in a man was me
I'm anxious about my music
Even though I should be ruthless
And I'm ten times better than them
But I'm underrated, it's so stupid
Forget everyone else
The only person I'll compete with is me
And they'll pay attention soon
I'll make sure they do, trust me, you'll see
Cause my heart's in the music
I should get a music note on my sleeve
And I ain't saying it's my year
But I've wasted too many to not achieve
I've been doing this all on my own
There's not one person that I need
But no man is an island
That's why I brought my loved ones with me
I owe them my life
if it weren't for them I'd be stuck in the abyss
Or worse, I'd be six feet deep
Not knowing if I'm even missed
My life can't amount to this
I swear, trust me, something's gotta give
Yeah, I'm alive and healthy
But to this day, I haven't truly lived
I'm not complaining
I just want better for myself and company
Been a lone wolf all of my life
Never needed extra company
I just need to build generational wealth
Have my family owning companies
Look up to the sky and pray that V's up there
And he's watching over me
