| [00:23.78] |
What a year it's been, a lot of ups and downs |
| [00:26.83] |
Keep fallin' off the wagon, but never hit the ground |
| [00:29.68] |
Or should I say the bottom? That's a place I'll never go |
| [00:32.64] |
Was drinkin' hella heavy, had no self-control |
| [00:35.63] |
Started doubtin' myself, had no motivation |
| [00:38.67] |
Liquor and depression is a bad combination |
| [00:41.61] |
Ain't doin' enough, just doin' the most |
| [00:44.55] |
Tasted some success, then I put that s**t in coast |
| [00:47.48] |
Never comin' around, my ass was always ghost |
| [00:50.21] |
Not realizin' I hurt the ones I loved the most |
| [00:53.31] |
Refuse to **** this up when our dream is too close |
| [00:56.16] |
Had to grow up and put my pride behind |
| [00:59.16] |
Got out of my funk, and now I feel alive |
| [01:02.20] |
Writin' verses with a smile while my daughter's by my side, like |
| [01:05.42] |
Look, mom, I made that! Look, mom, I made that! |
| [01:08.30] |
"The boy is a star", soon enough you can say that |
| [01:11.25] |
The boy came too far for me to just pick up and lay back |
| [01:14.23] |
Since way-way-way back, I been on playback |
| [01:17.09] |
And PB blendin' s**t like Beethoven and Ajax |
| [01:20.09] |
Since Ye met A-Trak, Mosaic got his first Maybach |
| [01:23.03] |
Been told that I been chasin' a dream, even with paychecks |
| [01:26.02] |
Even if my rent's paid for, even if I pay state tax |
| [01:29.07] |
Even if it took me all across the world and way-way back |
| [01:32.02] |
Grandpa called it chasin' a dream and I can't take that |
| [01:34.92] |
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah |
| [01:42.84] |
Yeah, yeah |
| [01:44.27] |
Check it, yo, check it |
| [01:46.50] |
With 48 percent, tryna make tragedy turn triumph |
| [01:49.71] |
But everybody tryna make family turn client |
| [01:52.75] |
How many shares you own, all my dreams |
| [01:55.36] |
Enough money can make any gathering turn riot |
| [01:58.37] |
Weekends full of distant daps and head nods |
| [02:01.59] |
Acknowledgin' ****** who really just spin jaw |
| [02:04.48] |
Who, me? N*gga, I been calm |
| [02:07.50] |
I just sense when a n*gga think I'ma be his pawn |
| [02:10.44] |
Yo, I heard a lot of bulls**t within this last year |
| [02:13.56] |
All chirp, that s**t's for the birds |
| [02:15.88] |
If you ask here it's been a fast year, I hear they only get faster |
| [02:19.17] |
With more chatter, yo, but that s**t don't matter, wassup? |
| [02:22.76] |
How far across you wanna go to go up faster? |
| [02:25.58] |
Is hard work worth it, or gettin' it all that matters? |
| [02:28.42] |
Yo, it's like the difference between stairs and a ladder |
| [02:31.41] |
I'm for the latter, spellin' don't change so many factors, wassup? |
| [02:34.79] |
You Mystery Tunes, I'm Mister Miyagi |
| [02:37.41] |
I fathered these ******, this s**t is a hobby |
| [02:39.83] |
No honor in some s**t if ****** just copy, false valor ass n*ggas |
| [02:43.70] |
You didn't earn them stripes, you David Clarke ass n*gga |
| [02:47.32] |
**** you, n*gga |
| [02:53.04] |
I was too good at gettin' involved |
| [02:55.97] |
If I was you I would've bet it all on me |
| [02:58.92] |
I mean honestly, I was down and lone |
| [03:02.28] |
I mean obviously, I was down the road |
| [03:04.82] |
I just honestly needed time to grow |
| [03:07.68] |
And you needed my mind but my pride took over |
