Lyrics

The road of a poet Who don't even know it His whole life he been the kid with light Who won't even show it They call him poltergeist The police ask him if he knows his rights He's multitasking with a passion Losing will to fight The dopest on the mic No one knows it He's smoking potent like Exposure got a cost, will he paying the price He's on the road I-40 going eastbound Doing shows out in Dallas up to Richmond now This isn't how he thought it would be He made a promise to himself To up'n go chase his dreams But in the middle of it all He would lose everything Tryna muffle up a scream Cause shit ain't what it seems Up on stage see the fans faces That's why he does this shit He sees a little bit of him in every one of them He done been broke and out of it Lost his mind on a binge Kept himself warm in a Chevy Stretchin it thin Shit ain't what it's supposed to be Life come at you fast, especially with no groceries Workin at the gas station scratching lotteries Cashing in a dollar for three hundred bucks a week, damn We're living in a world that isn't what it seems And when the lights go down, just a bunch of shattered dreams... All his friends told him that his dreams were make believe They told him better play it safe Yea you're crazy indeed He's at the airport alone tryna catch this flight Rapping tracks to himself He prepping for his night He's opening for names that he used to see on the screen Tryna keep it cool Feel like he's part of the team If she could seem him now Momma look how much he's grown He just hopes that she's proud He been out on his own Making something of himself Cause in ten minutes he gon' be running on stage Talking bout abandonment It's therapy to him You smell the air when he's moving He doesn't care if no one ain't there to catch what he's doing The stage lights are on, the DJ got the mic This is his calling no more falling it's time to ball tonight His Nine-five is tomorrow But for now he's bout to rock a crowd For 100 dollars and a couple follows We're living in a world that isn't what it seems And when the light go down, just a bunch of shattered dreams But if I got you and you got me Bet we can change the whole world And we can finally be We can finally be We can finally be free... After the show He made a couple of fans Sold a couple t-shirts That he had in the van Checked his phone Couple messages from Instagram But no texts sayin proud of you It's part of the glam He doesn't do it for himself He does it for the fans The ones who when they wake up they don't want to live again Cause he knows what it feels like when you thinking like you can't Take it anymore When you just want the world to fucking end When you've had it with the shit that people put you through for ends When you mad at everybody But it's your fault where you been All these places, all these stages And he still ain't got a win Yea the good die young so he knows he'll been living with no grin Gave up everything he loved just so he could play the game Looking for a god above and his pockets for some change I been living in a world Made of all our dreams I see the lights get low then I hear the screams I tell em I got you cause you got me And as we change the whole world And we can really be We can really be We can really be free...
