Gravestone

[Verse 1]

I feel this pressure been buildin' up, yeah, I feel it in my bones

I feel the weight of every choice I'm makin' when it's set in stone

I wanna leave a mark, and show 'em that I'm comin' from the heart

This is everything I have, and I'm still chasin' down that spark

Yeah, that hunger back when I was fifteen

Music was my only way out and nobody did believe

But I knew I had to show 'em, leave 'em all in disbelief

Up until there's no denyin' everything that I've achieved

So I'm saying like—

I am not somebody you can plot against

Every move you make against me, I will make the opposite

I'll be turning all of their opinions into compliments

Never had the confidence

But now I'm steppin' up, I'm shinin' light on your incompetence

I am not one of these rappers that in five years will not matter

I will not leave it to chatter, I'm dictating every conversation

This ain't an album, it's just practicing dedication

[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah, it's finally workin' out

Makin' all these different sounds

Tearin' out my heart on every page, it's time I let it out

Used to be so scared to be this specific, but if I don't give in

Then nobody would ever listen

It's my fate, so I'ma take it to the grave

[Chorus]

What you want written on your gravestone?

Were you great, were you fake, were you never known?

Did you leave a legacy, or did you follow every trend?

Would you let some people hate you?

Would you try to make amends?

What you want written on your gravestone?

Were you great, were you fake, were you never known?

Did you leave a legacy, or did you follow every trend?

Would you let some people hate you?

Would you try to make amends?

[Verse 2]

Mood swings, anxiety's up and down, makes it hard to ever do things

Cracks in my skull made me scared and my health's not improving

Death on my shoulder and it affects the way I view things

If I die, this better be the best stuff I'm producing

So I'm filling notebooks up full of songs that made me cry

It's full of songs about my life and full of songs, I tell no lies

Locked myself in the studio, swear that I been so exhausted

Sometimes I wanna stop this

But I couldn't stop if I wanted, you know I'm just being honest

Every time I try to take a break, I just end up back on it

I'm obsessed with droppin' everything around me just to make it right

Give it all my time, yeah, but I'm still never satisfied

Quality over quantity, yeah, that's why I barely drop

That's the reason when I'm back again, my numbers never flop

Always work behind the scenes, you know my ethic never stop

If I'm not pouring out my heart, I'll never drop another song

I'm giving this everything I have to give, my legacy ain't no lacking this

The remedy for the sadder kids, eternity is how I'm tracking this

A eulogy for all the scrutiny that I been under and what they assume of me

Ain't no more truancy, I'm on the shooting spree

Showin' the world that I'll be great, yeah

[Chorus]

What you want written on your gravestone?

Were you great, were you fake, were you never known?

Did you leave a legacy, or did you follow every trend?

Would you let some people hate you?

Would you try to make amends?

What you want written on your gravestone?

Were you great, were you fake, were you never known?

Did you leave a legacy, or did you follow every trend?

Would you let some people hate you?

Would you try to make amends?
