Yeah I used to lay awake in bed until the morning light Fantasize about my dreams now they come to life It's been over a decade but damn I still remember The night I dropped my first song and felt this breath of life I started writing down my story, I could fill up pages Thinking maybe if I'm lucky I'll perform on stages I wanted it so bad, I didn't even feel nauseous I poured my heart out to the world when I couldn't face it Every setback I received I swear has made mе stronger I wouldn't trade it for the world, not a singlе dollar I know God's been preparing me for so much greater 'Cause I just found out that next year I'll become a father Y'all really been with me since seventeen in grandma's basement When I was broke and y'all was sharing me with inspiration His humbleness, he more than music on people's skin A message I know gon' stick around when these numbers fading I took this further than anyone ever thought I'd go new band it's oh so Hated my delivery but wanna slay it's delicious Start to run the pick and roll, can't trip the flow My pain game is PSA tennis, all original the underdog, the up and comer Ten years since SwaggyTracks, post Dakota summer Made all these hardline fans, I made a couple brothers A group of sinners with broken souls who found each other It's made me better since I stopped tryna please everyone but me My only focus now is when I'm gone When my message leave, my circle smaller but I promise you That we thick as thieves I probably wouldn't be alive today without that true belief I'm just so grateful I ever got the chance to share my heart I lost myself for years in my 20's, it tore my life apart I'd spend my last dollars to record them sleep inside my car Some people think they know me but they've never seen my darkest scars So, shadowed everyone who stepped beside me through the rain Through the process of me growing up I wish I'd do the same Took some highs, took some lows But we did it all together I'd be lying if I told you I don't think that this is fate So, shadowed everyone who stepped beside me through the rain Through the process of me growing up, I wish I'd do the same If I had the chance to do it twice There's nothing I would change Cause the purpose found in music was worth every bit of pain Yeah It was worth every bit of pain
I did it man I did it I honestly didn't think I was gonna finish this album Been going through a lot of personal stuff a lot of life stuff Just been spiraling man, tryna, tryna say the perfect thing I wanted the perfect ending I wanted the perfect story, the perfect project Just put so much pressure on myself and would write something and scrap it, write it, scrap it And then finally, a couple weeks ago I was like what am I doing? I'm sucking the meaning out of this I'm losing the meaning of it I'm trying to make it perfect but nothing has been perfect in my life, you know I'm not perfect, my career isn't perfect why should my art be perfect? It's funny that I can get so close to these songs that I'm making that even I can lose sight of, of the meaning I started thinking what's so special I think about about my career, about this whole More Than Music movement is that a lot of you guys have literally grown up alongside me From the depressed, angry, you know 17 year old kid all the way to the soon to be father 30 year old man that's speaking to you now All the good, all the bad all the less than the highs, the lows, everything You guys have watched me go through it all We've gone through it together and I think that's just a It's something I'm forever grateful for If you've been to a show, you've heard me say this, you know When I was at my darkest moments my lowest moments, I felt like I had no one I started putting it all into these songs and it led me to you guys And you've had more of an impact on my life than I think you'll ever know I've spent countless nights on my phone reading messages from people who've been to hell and back And they still got fight, they still got joy and And it was my music that helped them get through it And I'm just, I'm humbled man I'm so humbled I don't deserve it I'm not the best artist, the best singer, the best rapper I just try to put things that are on my heart into these songs And the fact that people relate to it is beyond belief man I got so much gratitude So as I, I close the chapter to this liminal phase of my life I just want to say man, I've learned a lot I'm taking all these lessons with me all the memories with me It's been the journey of a lifetime over the past decade And I got all of you to thank So I just want to say one last time, much love I will see you guys all very soon on the internet at a show, somewhere In whatever's next for my life And one last time I want to say More Than Music, forever Forever I love you guys
