[Verse 1: Joey Varela]
Start from the top of the story
For all the people that don't know me
It's been a few years, few rights, many wrongs
Scraping from the bottom
Couldn't count how many things I've lost
I'll be drinking 'til the sun comes up
Married to a game that got me all fucked up
I play a game, I may never win
Take your chances, listen in
Praying for some dividends
And you can say that you bleed just like me
We're not the same and we will never be
I've got this music in my blood
Two hits to the vein, one straight to the artery

[Hook 1: Joey Varela]
If you don't like me, that's too bad for you
This is what I have to do
Got here on my own and that's the damn truth
If you don't fuck with me, then walk away
I don't need you anyway
You ain't do shit in the first place

[Verse 2: Joey Varela]
Start from the top of the story
For all the people that don't know me
Been stressed, depressed, been suicidal at best
Still I do the fucking thing like this is all that's left
(Scream)
[Chorus: Joey Varela; Javy Dorrejo]
I've been waiting, sometimes it feels like this is caving in on me
Crumbles down and brings to my knees
Fuck that, I've got to get up and move
Speak up, sometimes it feels like I've got so much left to lose
Nobody likes it when you tell the truth

[Verse 3: Joey Varela; Javy Dorrejo]
Secrets don't make friends
Six years with the same bitch, dealing with the same shit
Daddy wasn't there, so he's to blame this on
This feeling got me gone
I ain't going to stop until they put me on
Tryna take what I've got
But you can never stop me on my way to the top
So go ahead and call me evil, serve it up like it's illegal
You been trying hard, but still can never fill my spot

[Hook 2: Joey Varela]
You can't say nothing about me that I don't know
Still I'll never give a damn
Gotchu in you in your feelings fam'
You should grow the fuck up and just let the past go
Focus on your own career and maybe you'll grow

[Chorus: Joey Varela; Javy Dorrejo]
I've been waiting, sometimes it feels like this is caving in on me
Crumbles down and brings to my knees
Fuck that, I've got to get up and move
Speak up, sometimes it feels like I've got so much left to lose
Nobody likes it when you tell the truth
[Breakdown: Joey Varela]
So take a step back, take a breath
Let this all fall from your chest
'Cause I'll say what I mean, even if it sounds mean
At the end of the day, I know I'll still be me
So was is it you wanna talk about?
Is it more shit that I can do without?
Just another fake person tryna steal some 'clout'?
So you can turn your back and run your mouth
I don't wanna deal with it, I don't have the time
Save your shit for someone who can throw you a life line

[Outro: Javy Dorrejo]
I've been waiting, I've been waiting
I've been waiting, waiting for my time
