Backwoods On A Balcony ft. Saliyah Itoka Lyrics

They say a star is born in the womb so I assumed that I would be great without putting That work in

Imagine the feeling of feeling worthless

Because you too busy focused on what you don't got

Instead of the blessings that already done surfaced

So the need to hide behind trees to get to that level you need to reach for whatever Reason becomes dominant

But I promise this that you're prominent

And you'll get whatever you deserve all in due time in it

Yeah Yup

They think it's been a easy road to get here

I had to prove a point just to sing here

They always saying baby girl no fear

Easier said than done behind my tears (Yeah yup)

Cause I never had none

Appreciate it when that bag come

They been feeling a way cause I'm past them

I've been feeling a way so I'm at them

Mix the passion with the rapping

And the fact that I got out the back end

With no backing

Support and the love was lacking

What changed?

Cause now I'm running to the bank

That's only for motivation cause I know you listening and going through pain

Wondering if you gonna see brighter days

Feeling like you ain't never gonna make it

But it's worth it so you got to keep playing

Fourth quarter get the shot and just take it

They wasn't fucking with me

Seven projects in and eight was all of my beats

Said I was too in my feelings and I need a hit to make it up out of the streets

So I freestyled Who Run It

And they was like "oh you can rap now"

How you think that made a nigga feel?

Like look at my background

Up dropped and everything changed for me

Even made it to the radio

But depression kicking in

Because I ain't where he at I had to let it go

Tim Duncan took me mainstream

Shoutout to both of my brothers

Fast forward to album number nine

And the whole world love it

I just had to reminisce for a minute

So tell the industry I'm coming

I just been doing what I wanted

I gave love even to niggas who hated and fronted

It ain't happen overnight

Wanted to quit but I had to continue to fight

Now I just look at my life

Hoping my father could see that I'm doing alright

I done grown into a man

I been investing and shit I even made a plan

I ain't never need a hand

I had to stop comparing and just do what I can

The money it come with the game but I got a story to tell so I want the fame

I'm just trying to motivate

Made a promise to the young ins that I'll never change (yeah yup)

They think it's been a easy road to get here

I had to prove a point just to sing here

They always saying baby girl no fear

Easier said than done behind my tears

Just want to be around the people who are just like me

Came from something came from nothing all we do is dream

They never counted us in

We was always counted out

Had to hustle a bit more

Just to make it out

Gave my life for this shit

Had to prove I'm the shit

Broke it down in little pieces for the music because I know I'm that bitch

This is something legit

Give my baby boy the life that he deserve to live in (Yeah yup)
