[Intro]
Yeah
Mm-mm
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Told my mom at seventeen, "I'm gon' be a famous rapper"
Wish that you could see her face, hear the conversations after
Pressure only made me grown, it's who you are when shit get tough
Though of course, I made mistakes, tripped and fell then got back up
Butterfly better me, savin' all my energy
Grew up on a truck bed, sippin' only Tennessee
Cruisin' down the county line, sunset's evergreen
We was just some small town kids in our reckless teens
I remember drivin' to the city, first time I seen the skyline paused
Felt so out of place, but somehow knew I'd be a star
Always felt a voice inside me, somethin' speakin' through my heart
It's crazy thinking how a decade in this game feel like the start, yeah
Remember Chris's spot, remember recordin' my vocals the same night they'd drop
Remember how the sun would shine through that window pane, while I rapped about my pain
Never thought those days would change, but—
[Bridge]
But they changed, but they changed
Who knew, yeah
Yeah they changed, yeah they changed (Ayy)
[Verse 2]
Conversations with my homie Dan, and he still beside me too
Playin' shows for empty rooms, spinnin' on them one's and two's
Back when we was almost broke, we both knew our time was due
Havin' all these earthly visions, while our head was on the moon
I'm still tryna make a mil, put my homies on for life
Buy myself a piece of land, somewhere on the country side
Not as easy as it seemed, couldn't work a 9 to 5
Hard to be so concentrated, when I didn't feel alive
I hate admittin' that I sobbed when the factory cut my job
Felt alone, felt depressed, my future was bein' robbed
Kinda wild how that set back turned me to what I am
All that self-doubt, I lost control and it forced my hand
To believe in me, I believe in me
Can't believe that don't come easily, don't come easily
Care too much it start to hold me back, start to hold me back, yeah
Start to hold me back
