about
The concept of the track is to shed light on my journey as an artist and a person.
lyrics
[Verse 1]
High School, started this, passion, ego
Pen-ning rhymes had me rapping for people
Self-esteem grew, I was challenging people
Put your money up like cash in the casinos//
Ten years later, different demographic
Same CD, but this demo has graphics
Composition book, post it notes, and more
Finding time to put the pen to the tablet//
40 hour work week, life, and school
I don't have the free time, to get in the mood
The muse is there, the inspiration is gone
You a little get older, and your memory's off//
It only took me ten minutes, to finish a song
Nowadays I sit back and I'm listening more
I wonder if the hunger stopped?
Because I focus more on life and not trying to be on top//
[Chorus 4x]
My journey, my way to the top
I gonna make it man, I'm never gon' stop
[Verse 2]
I want to settle down, there's no one to settle with
I want a wife, when I die I'll pass my settlements
I have brothers, they're not focused on fellowship
They only care about the money that a fellow gets//
I want a queen, in my dreams she is heaven sent
I want a queen, buy a ring, I'm mad hesitant
My parents, always keep pressing in
60 minute game, and I gotta face the press again//
So I caress the pen, feeling open, awoken
Zoning, hopeless, nowadays I'm sheltered in
Reflect on the present tense, when the record spins
The large house, checking on the health of kids//
Spitting wisdom, flows on instrumentals
My mental is in-stru-mental to my pencil
Moving on up from the, apartment rental
To a four acre lot, the rest is all essential//
[Chorus 4x]
