lyrics

The only way for you to make it
Is to give everything
Everything you are, everything you got
And if you hold back, even a little
You'll fall short

Tunnel vision, this fucking tunnel vision
Man I'm lucky that this tickets only good for one admission
I was told to run a muk until we won the mission
Always gunning for the one position
At 24 a nigga fell victim to a fuck addiction
I got a gift so I'll admit it was a tough decision
I relapse now and then, yea with enough assistance
But I always find a reason why it wasn't different
You keep debatin I'm busy chasing the stuff of fiction
They think they know what I'm cooking because they bugged the kitchen
All these niggaz is lying because they love division
All these bitches is lying because they love division
Look at Star looking like he up to something
Watch em gather round the pie
Such a real nigga had to teach me how to lie
Talk about a nigga getting hit with bad advice

I want it all
The fame and the fortune I saw
When I dreamed of arenas and stadiums tours
And once I get it I'll be gunning for more
Hey, tell em
I want it all
The fame and the fortune I saw
When I dreamed of arenas and stadiums tours
And once I get it I'll be gunning for more
Hey, tell em I...

What happened I can't see straight
Heard a voice say welcome to your dream state
But it don't seem fake
Said what you mean,
Last time we saw you, you were seventeen
Set to be all we conceived
What happened to that mean shit
The best y'all seen spit
Scholar never been on the dean's list
No rest, no reprieve, never run outta steam
Blitz every play because your cov-er-age clean
Said I been a lil busy tryna learn the craft and business
Matter fact when I wake up, my nigga it's right back to business
My job is the reception, so I know my facts-n-figures
What I do with a connection, only wish I had a witness
They said we just wanna know where all the passion at
I mean we understand don't really be no cash in that
You vocation there but, this yo natural habitat
You think you not goin wreak some havoc my nigga,
but we ain't having that at all

The fame and the fortune you make
What you see in your head, what you feel isn't fake
There's a legacy you're made to create
So keep your eyes on the ball
And don't worry if they can relate
There's an ever present seat up at the top
You can have if you're willing to take
Hey, tell em I want it all

Can't let em down I must eviscerate
Too much concern with trying to assimilate
Or the amount of streams that we could generate
No more talking now it's time for me to demonstrate
No trade, no degree
This is it for me
I just can't let it get to me
Maybe I been working for the wrong shit
Maybe I'm the one it's something wrong with
The Ballad

When did I start falling
And where is the ground
I don't like this dream no more somebody please let me out
Tell me I should give it up somebody please tell me how
With no one around to hear me shout
But I'm falling and I'm falling wit speed
I see something within reach it's small but what could it be
It's everything that I believe I want and need
Falling faster, tryna grab it
I forgot that I was sleep
