Make Me Proud ft. Simmie Lyrics

In the background

In the background

Interviews from Ray Daniels just keep me motivated

Align yourself with ppl who smarter than you and you will make it

I been steady paperchasing

Inky Johnson, motivator

Money Maker, know that I run the races that God created

Been in rooms with ppl that created your favorite artist

I don't mean to flex here's lesson in how I'm moving smarter

Eye on the target, bull's eye, know I don't do this often

Be 1% greater than yesterday, how I deal with losses

Women steady calling my phone, I gotta decline

Lately only thing on my brain is how I feed mine

Posted like a street sign

I'm like how can I trust you when you be acting like you real, know you repeat lines

Send that deposit for that last statement

We bag chasing while you fail to talk to women at these gas stations

Never chased your dreams because you lack patience

No crash racing, this a marathon, you steady making wack statements

This remind me of when rap used to have feeling

When you could see the soul of a nigga just from the lyrics

Now everybody tote a glock with a switch

Who knew a year ago that I'd be popping like this fr

Swear I respect it if it's really you

But if it ain't then don't blame Vlad when you be snitching in them interviews

I Reminisce on when the rent was due

Dead broke but I had dreams that I would constantly just listen to forreal

No playing

In the background

I'm focused on my peace right now

I'm only tryna make me proud

Open to what's for me

Releasing everything else

This for that person coming up wanna do music

Don't be scared to chase your dreams I know them people say you stupid

Cause your music ain't lucrative yet, gotta take lucrative steps

I know you stress cause all your friends keep saying you the best

& you don't know where to start

& I know it's frustrating, them lyrics come from the heart

& I know it' amazing how you can see through the dark

Let's take a peep through your heart, stay out the streets and be smart

You on a mission

& every engineer you try to message

Wanna charge 60 to 80 dollars for every hour of the session

Like you ain't feel the effects of this recession

Going through the depression

Minimum wage your only check and steady just stressing

I got a lesson hope you catch it

How you expect people to take you serious if you ain't really invested

I'm talking blood, tears and panic sweating

If that means you got eat Ramen Noodles to stay invested then you count your blessings

No playing

In the background

I'm focused on my peace right now

I'm only tryna make me proud

Open to what's for me

Releasing everything else
