Lyrics

Hey, yeah, yeah
Ayo, ayo, ayo
Yeah, yeah
Back to my journey I guess, yeah
Third take, uh
I'm feeling appreciative of my own efforts
The amount of f words on my name
Kinda strange that I get so much hate
Like it's been that since I was like nine or 10
I don't know man
Maybe I was a nomad on no man's land
Because I moved from Nebraska to Minnesota
South Carolina to North Carolina
Then eventually Arizona
New Mexico to present day Oklahoma
I guess you can say
I been everywhere
Every day seems like a new adventure
As I enter close to my prime 30's
Smack dab in the center of the US
Am I worthy
I'm still learning
No need for tests
Journey went from east to west
Then when I left
I hope I was the right
Guest who shown they were the best
When I write then rewrite
Verses day and night
My wife wants to Cudi
But this Kid might be the truth
That the you can approve
But my youth denies myself
Who knew the rhymes be placed on a bookshelf
Yeah, Years later finds it covered in dust
Brushed off the composition
I must make the decision
To revisit my dream to a vision
Of me becoming the greatest
Now listen
You unc now
You should be raising a family by now
Why now you trying to make this happen
Rapping keeps me calm
And vent all the probs I have
Where I went wrong
And uplift my people if I can at all
We in the end times
Might as well try to chase a dream
Remember when I was 18 in Tsaile, AZ
First semester
Dorm room cyphers to show who's better
The rest were tryna show off for girls
And there I was trying to fit in
When I didn't live in the Rez
Those bros turned to friends
Consist with memories I will never forget
I can't think what was said
All I know we could of dropped some classic freestyles
Where I felt free while trying to make it out
Wild pranks piled
With trips to Phoenix
Man I miss those trips
Mixed with late nights of Injustice
In public, we played pick up games
I stayed until one by one moved away
That's when I graduate
With my girl by my side
Life caught me by surprise
When I find a chance to get to OU
Oh you thought my dreams would slip away
No sir
Sometimes you have to drift away
To finally catch that wave
Catch that wave, huh
Oh you thought my dreams would slip away
No sir
Sometimes you have to drift away
To finally catch that wave
Hey
