Ha, shame on me for thinking hard work, quality, integrity could make a difference, tuh

Hemingway said a man can't be defeated, but can be destroyed, huh

Somebody else that was wise said that comparison is the thief of joy, huh

Then I heard a homie in the comments saying nothing beats a failure but try, hey

But when you fail time after time, it gets harder look people in the eye, listen

I used to send my songs to every blog to get a post

And I would treat, and I would hope, and yet they'd always tell me nope

You need some heaters, need some features, man, this track just isn't hot

And five years later I'm in business still, and most of them are not

I could be like look at you, look at you, did what you said I couldn't do

But returns get smaller with all that I seem to put into

This, what do you get the guy that seems to have everything sewn up?

A big fat L to hold up, hold up

Why they say when you're grown, then you'll figure it out?

Now that I'm on my own, I get weighed down with doubt

I can do this forever, I know that for sure

I just need a sign of what I do this for

Fam, you know how many lives your words touch

The King of Pop clutched himself, but you the king 'cause of mics you clutch

Philly's own, but wherever you roam it's home

You earned that with intentions, this shit wasn't random

New smile, new child, future looking handsome

You think about letting this all go like a ransom

CC from E-Three to WWE

You slide on EP's, you glide on albums

Rocking a Barret cannon and Rockman handgun

Stop me if I'm lying, but this is business to stand on

Bro, I don't know where to begin

Bragging like there go my friend after beating Shredders, Revenge

What a career, high key jealous you win every year

Your IP value is only going up from here

Don't be discouraged, the lifestyle we chose ain't fair

When you need a push to keep on, just know we here, yeah

Why they say when you're grown, then you'll figure it out?

Now that I'm on my own, I get weighed down with doubt

I can do this forever, I know that for sure

I just need a sign of what I do this for
