Lyrics

Yeah

You thought I was done?

(This is your life in the ghetto)

Come on

(This is your life in the ghetto)

Tox

Gotta get on track so I get the memo

I'm on a mission, this a desperado

Be a new best tomorrow

Gotta put the work in to the max and all the rest will follow

Gotta get on track so I get the memo

I'm on a mission, this a desperado

Be a new best tomorrow

Gotta put the work in to the max and all the rest will follow

Gotta get on track so I get the memo

Tox, look

I was 11 years old when I wrote down my first rhyme

12 when my first track dropped with my first prime

13 when I hit the stage for the first time

14 was the first album, had shirts flyin

15 I was steady writing my second

16, I saw my fucking face on a record

17, I dealt with many months of depression

Now I'm 18 with a purpose, I'm applying that pressure

My time is too precious, my time is not to waste/waist like a sagging belt

Shit they paying me's like a thousand streams for a half a meal

Critics rating me couldn't buy some taste like it's half a mil

I shine bright, they call me narcissist/narcissus like a daffodil

So now I jot with the hunger of starving villages

I been on a mission, the path that I'm on is limitless

My impact gon' make your top five insignificant

So with that, I'll show y'all who the realest is

Hoe I'm on a mission, this a desperado

Be a new best tomorrow

Gotta put the work in to the max and all the rest will follow

Gotta get on track so I get the memo

I'm on a mission, this a desperado

Be a new best tomorrow

Gotta put the work in to the max and all the rest will follow

Gotta get on track so I get the memo

Back in fifth grade, was reprimanded for mistakes

Caught fire behind my back, I'm against a brigade

Hardwired to self destruct, and still to this day

They conspired my downfall, at our big age?

Grabbed the pen, cause I'm destined to grace the big stage

Put it all to work last August when I felt dismay

Used it as an outlet when I was lacking a power source

I put the chords/cords together in line so I can empower more

You're watching the progression unfold once I tap record

The song you'll call a classic next year is what you now ignore

I learned that this is art, can't keep trying to please the crowd no more

I kept tryna appease to your standards, can't dumb it down no more

Said this is art, so I'm learning to make what's true to me

Learned that time is the only way I'm improving musically

Tried to make a radio hit, I started losing me

Got two L's to my name but ain't no lose in me

'Cause bitch, I'm on a mission, this a desperado

Be a new best tomorrow

Gotta put the work in to the max and all the rest will follow

Gotta get on track so I get the memo

I'm on a mission, this a desperado

Be a new best tomorrow

Gotta put the work in to the max and all the rest will follow

Gotta get on track so I get the memo (memo)

Baby

This is your life in the ghetto

Baby

This is your life in the ghetto (oh)
