Blink Of An Eye

(album: Mars - 2011)

First I started off small, now I've gone big
Now I'm big doing, I was just a small thing
Cause everything was grounded, now everything's fly
Cause everything just changed in the blink of an eye

It was all a dream
Biggie quote
Now I'm making things alive with my vision bro

I was that kid that had his future right in front of him
Now I'm bout to tell you some stories
So homie listen close
That said that I was asian
I wasn't well in rap
No check the honors on Youtube and try to tell me that
I'd sit and pray for just one day my future name would conquer
I went from radio turn downs to label offers

Kept my composure as this dream was coming closer
Had a couple friends use me as I seemed to just grow older
I used to love school but now I hate it
It was wrong sitting in my desk knowing this is a place I don't belong in

And I been slowly making hits
Imagine waking up to growing up and knowing you're the ish
Imagine if I never tried spit a rhyme in the beginning
Imagine it
I tried to blink my eye [?]

First I started off small, now I've gone big
Now I'm big doing, I was just a small thing
Cause everything was grounded, now everything's fly
Cause everything just changed in the blink of an eye

Having girls just turn me down is what my heart saw
Now girls just turn my music up cause I'm a heartthrob
Five people in the audience with no crowd
Now I'm packing up venues for shows
Sold out
Owww

I used to sit down and stay bored
Now I'm on to living this life that I prayed for
And back then I asked people to hang but none of them will
Now they be ringing up my phone like homie let's chill!

I used to walk the streets and I'd be safe at night
Now some people see my face and they would hate big fights
And they annoy me cause they're always staying mad at me with eight words
Threatening my health and put my family in danger

I lost friends being this real next star
Cause nowadays success determines who your real friends are
When I got jumped, I hated that I had all this fame
Cause when my head just hit the concrete, I drastically changed

First I started off small, now I've gone big
Now I'm big doing, I was just a small thing
Cause everything was grounded, now everything's fly
Cause everything just changed in the blink of an eye

Sometimes I hate that fact that I been seeing more
Of this fame cause it's a life that I was feigning for
Cause now I got this label they gotta put dollars into me
And taking care of me takes a lot of responsibility

People ask, 'why you gotta be a nutso for?'
Maybe it's cause I can't even just take the bus no more
I can't even just be normal cause this fame is like a whirlwind
Like what am I just cursing? I can't even have a girlfriend!

Momma never thinks that I'll be making it home
She hates when I be going to some places alone
Cause my danger is grown
Can you imagine that scene?
Now I be getting haters mad and going after my team

To all you goons who hate me, let me tell you something honest
If you beat me up and jump me what the hell do you accomplish?
At times I feel my brain is really empty when it's crowded
Cause music changed my life now and everything about it

First I started off small, now I've gone big
Now I'm big doing, I was just a small thing
Cause everything was grounded, now everything's fly
Cause everything just changed in the blink of an eye

So much has happened in the past year
Felt like it happened too quick and I grew up too fast
And I wantchyall to know
When success comes, a lot things turn different
In my case, music opened my eyes to that.

Thank you.
