Whole lotta people right now tryna tap in
I don't even really gotta rap, no cappin'
Frontload work, made a killin' off the back end
Like 25 racks this week, all passive
He set a goal and I passed it
This was the life I imagined
Product of hunger and passion
Dippin' and dodgin' distractions
Funny, they want you when you gainin' traction
My life a movie, can't show it on camera
Wasn't this pretty back up in the bando
Always had aim but ain't always have ammo
Learn how to thrive in the dark with no candle
I made a way when no way wasn't planned out
Stood on my name when they told me to stand out
Wouldn't turn over, they testin' my handles
Trust me, I got it all handlеd
None of this shit was a hand-out
They used to hatе but they say I'm the man now
Funny how everything panned out
Fake love from all angles
I don't trust no one, I did it my damn self
Was broke as a joke with no hope or way I could cope
If you don't learn to swim, better pray you can float
Now I try to inspire, they all say that I gloat
It's okay
You can stay stuck in your ways
Was down with no hope until I made a way
And everything started when I made a change
Stop playing the victim nobody will save
You from the hole that you dug for yourself
You still claw at the walls and scream loudly for help
Replay my trauma to double the damage it dealt
Searching for life in the pain that I felt
Felt like a zombie, was hollow as hell
Where a man used to be, there was only a shell
Banging my head off the wall 'til it fell
Living a nightmare while hoping that nothing was real
Limits and doubts I expressed in myself
I realized I created this hell
I made a prison of my mental health
They really told me that I needed pills
To dull out my life and ignore how I feel
But I chose to fight, I would die on that hill
Reopen wounds so the wounds could get healed
I told myself I deserve to be healed
Started to climb and got up when I fell
Over and over, again I prevailed
Over the hurdles of all I concealed
Finally stopped running and let myself feel
Everything that I've been running from
Know that the fear is greater than the battle won
Proud of my battle scars when the battle's done
Weight of the world on my shoulders gets cumbersome
Carried that weight until I could recover from
All of my pain and my problems are overcome
I told myself that the fear cannot hold me up
No one can save me, I know I'm the only one
