Prologue
(专辑: We Are The Artist - 2015)
I
told em get on or get out Bandwagon shit wagon numbers bout to max out Working till I
pass out, look who put his past down, now he come around and they don't know how to act now Woah, all my producers hail from overseas Woah, stopped fuckin round and started living dreams Woah inspirational fan mail addressed to me Finding out that something I
said helped someone else believe, that we are the
artist, that we paint the
targets That those who believe in themselves travel the
farthest That life is a
journey decide the
path you will take Most like to follow the
footsteps, I
rather work to be great Rather work till the
sun up and son thats only the
warm up Heard a
lot of basic shit out rappers I
gotta burn up I
don't fuck with your vision, you only talk never listen, I
speak my mind with precision, my heart a
gift I've been given I
throw that all on a
track They throw me all on the
map Never did it alone thank my supporters for that Word to my people at home who were down way before that, young and disgusted with how a
female could act How a
person could change in just matter of days When someone get around others and they stop acting the
same, how love lost could make a
heart gain frost Make a
brain get cross and your soul get lost Make you lose your way, make your sky's go grey, make your friends question why the
hell you ain't the
same No one to blame but me, live in what we decide to see Perceptions corrected when we elect to see different, take a
glimpse from the
other side to see where their vision lies Without that your vision lies, I
realized in watching mine Cause a
one sided view between two will leave everybody blind, wasn't always right, going off into that mic, when I
was trapped inside my pain trying vent into the
night That's an apology cause look at what it did for me, I'm done with the
past and all my negative energy Heartbreak to mixtapes, mixtape to album What I'm doing now only dreamed about this outcome And they ask me how come, you never gave up I
mean you really skipped the
lay up you went straight to the
dunk, said what up to local and then went right into global Working till imma mogul inside this industry shit But don't get it twisted won't be an industry bitch, tryna get up inside it and make the
industry switch Got a
lotta heart, lot to give, drive like I
work at the
dealership, dreamt of stages for ages, wanted that shit since a
little kid Life at home was too hectic, headphones on when I'm stressing, they say more money more problems looking back i
learned from that lesson Looking back I
learned I
should question, all the
ways that we live, all the
things that we value, all the
ways we take and we give, all the
ways we lose and we win, all the
ways we end to begin, all the
ways that we cope in the
ways they tell us we sin
