2008 Lyrics

Back in the days

Minimum wage

Sellin' the J's

Gotta get paid

Findin' a way

Smokin' the haze

Pen was ablaze

Burnin' the page

Wasn't a phase

Fell in love with the game

I fell in love with the game

Food & Liquor front to back

Dope Boyz in a Cadillac

Word of Mouf, I fucked with that

Tried to write, I had a knack

Big bro put me on to rap

I was five, he showed me that

Years later, found a bag

Name attached, Craig Mac

Yeah, I guess he had my dream too

Yeah, your life taken too soon

Sixteen, he ain't get a chance to bloom

I could never quit I'm also doing this for you

When I'm at the gates I hope you tell me that you're proud of me

Mom and dad are good and I took care of those surrounding me

You're the light I see through all the demons that are clouding me

Pray for perseverance to ignore the people doubting me

Gave up on my drinkin', I can lock in on my meaning

All those times I chased a thrill not knowing I don't need it

Energy is strong, if I don't see it I delete it

Everyday's an elevation, don't believe in peakin'

Lately I have been a slave to my anxiety

I been feelin' like the whole world always eyein' me

Seem like everyday I got somebody tryin' me

I close my eyes and let it go I know you're guiding me

Too much pressure on myself is really just the pride of me

Prove 'em right or prove 'em wrong, the gas that keep on driving me

Be the best version of me is who I always strive to be

Ten toes on the dirt and staying humble how I try to be

Livin' life on borrowed time

Nothing's promised except for dyin'

Til then I stay on my grind

Chest is out, my head is high

Open mind, my eyes are wide

People talk, don't pay no mind

Go get your yours, I'm gettin' mine

I'll see you on the other side
