lyrics

Alright let me just get it, let me tell you how I’m feeling
Build up the walls from the floor unto the ceiling
Never mind man bring down the whole building
I’ll crawl out the rubble you can tell that I’m healing
Healing has begun I just had to get it started
The mindset is mine, not for the fainthearted
I thought I bid adieu to my dearly departed
Fly to corners of the world better left uncharted
Google to the maps yeah we going new places
Starting off slow like the turtle win the races
No more formalities, first name basis
Few of us young ins with a future in the game
Shout out midnite and when doing his thing
Pops only son carries the family name
Dad I’m going big places let me know when you can hang

Chorus
Dreaming of the limelight, no sharing spotlights
Gotta get the fame but these stage lights are too bright
Yeah, with the future looking so bright
Ha I just gotta win my fight
Dreaming of the limelight, no sharing spotlights
Gotta get the fame but these stage lights are too bright
Yeah, with the future looking so bright
Ha, man I’m finally doing alright

You know I’m gonna get it cause I’m in it for the fame
I don’t need any chains or 20’s on a range
Nevermind the glory man I’m in it for the game
But compared to other people yeah we might not sound the same
So I cover up these scars with a little bit of dirt
Brought the whole stage down not a single bone hurt
Build it back up, mash it up then murk
On the hustle full time, not distracted by the work
Trouble up ahead but it doesn’t make a difference
We climbing up the hill but we feeling no resistance
Making progress in this game we’re being so persistent
With the others in our sight, yeah its time we close the distance
We comin’ up on em down from the underground
I make a little noise here to change the way it sounds
The flow is getting heavier packing on the pounds
If you think you can handle it lets go another round

Chorus

I’m your fearless leader let me guide you into battle
I’m shaking up the world you can feel the ground rattle
I had to take break but I’m back up in the saddle
You claim you make it rain like you reppin’ seattle
You may make it rain but I make it hurricane
It looks a little cloudy but we’ll still take the plane
Turbulence ahead but I really can’t complain
When you’re feeling this young there’s so much to attain
No need to explain, I’m here to entertain
I’m in this til the end when there’s nothing left to gain
But the feelings still remain, so we kick it on the side
‘bout to make a banger when the beat and flow collide
if you look close you can try to criticize
but no matter what you say I can take it in stride
wherever you are you can hear us worldwide
and regardless of the end its been one hell of a ride
