[00:05.80]As a child I would dream about it
[00:08.56]Sometimes it wake me from my sleep and I would think about it
[00:11.21]Making music was all that could keep me off these streets
[00:13.53]I don't know where I'd actually be without it, but think about it
[00:16.40]I dedicated like twenty years to the goal
[00:18.78]I still ain't made a name for myself and it's getting old
[00:21.36]How many more words can I enter into this phone
[00:23.83]Without running out of topics and dropping interesting quotes
[00:26.51]I know people around the globe is wishing that they had a chance
[00:29.59]To get they hands on that advance that I just passed up
[00:32.54]Hit the road and have at least two-hundred people at every show
[00:35.28]Smoking until I choke, that sounds mad fun
[00:37.56]And being able to pay my bills is a plus
[00:39.87]But money I be spending for promos is twice as much
[00:42.58]Not to mention if you get in to the club with all these other rappers then you gotta have the nicest stuff
[00:48.66]So fuck it, man, I'm drinking 'til I'm blacking out
[00:50.90]They know me around the city for acting out
[00:53.67]My dad visited for the weekend, he got a taste
[00:56.13]And left a day early, hit me with a text, "what's that about?"
[00:58.79]I told him, "it's okay, it's not a problem"
[01:01.42]But everyone around me seem to think that I can't stop it
[01:04.08]But yet they always wanna go out on my tab, they jobless
[01:06.73]And they looking for a way to get it popping
[01:08.74]So I got them, I start chilling with my old friends
[01:10.62]They all married with good careers
[01:12.81]Envious of what I'm doing
[01:14.01]But only if they knew
[01:15.16]I would trade them for a second and be outta here
[01:17.48]But I'm too addicted to this music
[01:19.31]And I got eight siblings that I never see
[01:21.46]In a room I never leave
[01:22.80]Stuck on my computer watching other niggas catch some speed
[01:25.47]All they songs is extra weak, confusion steady stressing me
[01:27.95]Running out of patience, let the journey get the best of me
[01:30.62]Thought I had the recipe, so I followed every step
[01:33.47]Left my girl and moved away, I know she happy I left
[01:36.06]Lil bro is all alone, mama need a bigger check
[01:38.77]All my niggas falling off, I'm still tryna be the best
[01:41.49]Locked myself inside this booth, started making hella tracks
[01:44.15]Cry myself to sleep at night, swear I been to hell and back
[01:46.79]Loaded up that gun I bought, withdrew everything I had
[01:49.42]Put it all in envelopes, had it sitting in my hand
[01:52.11]Wrote my mama letter, and apologized for suicide
[01:54.75]I been on a mission that they talk about but few will try
[01:57.40]Had my finger on the trigger, would have left it all behind
[02:00.12]And lyrics popped into my head, maybe music saved my life
[02:05.94]Maybe music saved my life
[02:11.36]Maybe music saved my life
[02:17.01]Maybe music saved my life
[02:20.91]Yeah, maybe music saved my life
[02:26.80]
