You know the old saying: half of life is just showing up But I thought that showing up was what I had to do growing up On time, on point, ready to work Make the most of opportunity and see what it's worth That's what I'm doing but I'm so heavily pursuing this day-to-day grind that I ain't had time Nah I can't go start making excuses When music is the element that never been excluded See that's the whole point to the joint in the first place If I don't put my thoughts to words I'm in my worst place I done had these tendencies since the first grade Artistry is my home now watch me round third base So if you got a personality that's parallel Don't let your visions be imprisoned hidden in the stairwell Your best shot let the world absorb it Freedom to create everyone can afford it so put it out Put it out, put it out, put it out, put it out, put it out, put it out, put it out This song is criticism of my optimism Been a while since I had something fresh written, how's that for symbolism? It's not like I'm lacking a platform Modesty is honestly something I have a knack for Downplaying compliments, deflecting the credit You're the dopest one up there, ah forget it This concept of team is how I do my living An only child, but it's endless when it comes to my siblings Now I'm thirty so I guess I should be worried That time will catch up better drop an album in a hurry Well one thing at a time but no more coasting Because paying student loans doesn't mean I stop composing Whatever is the barricade you self-constructed You better breakthrough, ain't going to have self-destruction And while we're at it we're getting rid of all the doubt Keep it coming, you got something that they never knew until you put it out Put it out, put it out, put it out, put it out, put it out, put it out, put it out
