I don't need recognition, I'm on a mission (yeah)

I'm paying dues (yeah), I'm in position

I'm staying up, it's getting late

You're doing good, I'm doing great

Recognition, I'm on a mission (yeah)

I'm paying dues (yeah), I'm in position

I'm staying up, it's getting late

You're doing good, I'm doing great

I was at practice, they don't feel like working (no)

Overthinking, I don't need to let the pain and hurtin'

I was main stage with timing, yeah, a festival reality's a b-

'Cause less than 24 hours pass, and I'm back to workin' (woo!)

The wage is at minimum

But when you know your worth is more, you make your own curriculum (yeah)

Studyin' the industry, I know you see me them killin' 'em (see)

Now see, it felt so real, I had some moments, I was livin' 'em (woo!)

Celebrity, civilian, walk amongst the race that you ignore

The ones relentlessly pursuing every key to every door

Yes, evergreen and evermore if you're content living normally

I'm handing in my notice to the world and record formally (yeah!)

I know this life is right for me (uh-huh)

I know the future's bright for me (real)

I know my teachers lied to me

I do it for the ones that came before and nearly died for me

I don't need recognition, I'm on a mission (yeah!)

I'm paying dues (yeah), I'm in position

I'm staying up, it's getting late

You're doing good, I'm doing great

Recognition, I'm on a mission (yeah)

I'm paying dues (yeah), I'm in position

I'm staying up, it's getting late

You're doing good, I'm doing great

I had to let you go, so I can grow and move (uh-huh)

When time is of the essence then it should improve (true)

I had to leave to see what I could do alone (what?)

And when I get the money then I'm coming home (woo!)

I had to let you go, so I can grow and move (woo!)
