Prelude To Greatness
[Intro]
Will they sing about me when I’m gone?
Will they judge me for the shit that I was doin’ wrong?
Can I put my heart inside of every single song?
Will I pop a couple pills cause I wasn’t strong?
Will I give all of my money to the family?
Will I see 'em in the front when I win a grammy?
Maybe I just figure that’ll compensate
Want the world and I didn’t even graduate (damn)
[Verse 1]
Insufficient funds, so I never spend it
All the times that I was typin’, but I didn’t send it
She really took a likin’ to my older self
I was hidin' like a shadow, never show myself
Didn’t know if I was makin' all this music for the money
Now I fuckin' need it, that question soundin' funny
I’m tryna stay single cause I feel like no-one love me
I feel I’m slowly sinkin', and nobody's ever coming
I’m tryna make a difference, I’m tryna face the demons
I’m tryna see that everything is goin' for a reason
Maybe I should read a book, try to rediscover
This shit ain’t how it looks, and I’m searchin' for the others
[Pre-Chorus: Jordan Peterson]
Well, you know there are remarkable people
Who come into the world from time to time
And there are people who do find out over decades long periods
What they could be like if they were who they were
[Hook]
Will they sing about me when I’m gone?
Will they judge me for the shit that I was doin’ wrong?
Can I put my heart inside of every single song?
Will I pop a couple pills cause I wasn’t strong?
Will I give all of my money to the family?
Will I see 'em in the front when I win a grammy?
Maybe I just figure that’ll compensate
Want the world and I didn’t even graduate (damn)
[Verse 2]
When I look at what surround me, seein’ somethin' mystic
Goin' through the funk of life, like I shoulda missed it
When I make 100 grand, they gon’ say it’s luck
But I’m workin' for the fans til I see the sun
Had a lot of rainy days, how did I survive
I’m just tryna turn the page on that part of life
Was believin' in myself when I really wasn’t
Now I had a stranger say that I’m the up-and-coming
Take it back to my first rhyme, reminiscin'
Writin' with the pen on my first line, now we gettin'
Plays around the world, it’s my time, never let it
Slow me down, feel like I’m on a climb forever now
[Pre-Chorus: Jordan Peterson]
So if your life isn't everything it could be, you could ask yourself
Well, what would happen if you stopped wasting the opportunities
That are in front of you?
You'd be, who knows how much more efficient
[Hook]
Will they sing about me when I’m gone?
Will they judge me for the shit that I was doin’ wrong?
Can I put my heart inside of every single song?
Will I pop a couple pills cause I wasn’t strong?
Will I give all of my money to the family?
Will I see 'em in the front when I win a grammy?
Maybe I just figure that’ll compensate
Want the world and I didn’t even graduate (damn)
[Verse 3]
I’m workin' from the mud, was hurtin' from the love
Now that bitch is jealous, cause I’m comin' for the funds
Pussy or the commas, it’s really fuckin' simple
I’m tryna make a wave, so I started with a ripple
Feel like I’m the voice of all the outcasts
All the people who assumin' they will never last
I was feelin' just the same, then reality check
So I got my shit together, now I’m bound to be sick
I’m bound to make a mil, let me show my mama
That her dropout son becomin' what he wanna
Used to feel like I’m a failure, now I got the game in check
I'ma do this independent, never cut me a percent, let’s go
