[Verse]
I really wish they told me how this life was
Out in Hollywood, they getting lost in these nightclubs
My team keep me in the stu working day and night
I notice when you chasing a dream, people a leave
Ya side if it ain't going right, but I'll be alright
I still got my brother's back, yo, that shit for life
And if it wasn't for this pen, wonder, would I be me?
Because this art really set us free mentally and physically
In five years, who will I be? Hopefully not stranded
Tryna crawl back to the sea, I only pray you see
The bigger picture, I'm not just a nigga, more like Basquiat
On this canvas, now listen to my scriptures
I give you real shit, I know you feel this
I'm not a artist tryna catch the wave on your field trip
Nah, De'Wayne Jackson up in my own lane
These stories is my pain, art is no game, look
Starting off what you gotta do to fit in
Take five years for your peers just to listen
Went from doing talent shows, vids in the kitchen
Never thought I leave Spring and Texas, not to mention
Had to leave my love, also leave my mother
Eight siblings to my name looking up to they brother
No pressure 'cause you got it all, you hearing
The kid that never had a chance to ball
So if I slip, that's our chance, but I never fall
Pigeon-toed and all, I really do it all, my nigga
Against the odds or whatever in this space all alone
With blind faith and these notes that I write up in my phone
Yo, this shit gon' be presidential, uh, 'cause I'm tired
Of hearing the word potential 'cause I don't fear no man
When I'm on these instrumentals, no killer
But I'm a criminal with a fucking pencil, save it, look
Setting the standard right, I'm tryna raise the bar
I hear you talking flashy cars, but yo, who are you?
I can tell you a star, look at how they follow you
You my brother, I don't want this game to really swallow you
This from the nineteen-year-old here to impact the world
And save the art, I'm a hero, really
Because I use to be a zero and now I'm on ten
Tryna put my city on the map
And let the world in, it's wavy
Yeah, that was art
