2017 Lyrics by D. Knight

Make Myself At Home

2022

[Intro]
It took a lot to get to this point
Trials, tribulations, overcoming self doubt
I'm just tryna make myself at home with shit man
Just tryna find my place, you know?

[Verse 1]
Barely making enough to get my car paid
2017 a lot of days were dark days
Still learning to open up due to heartache
Had to trust that my girl would keep my heart safe
In my head thought I was ready for the big stage
Me and D$ workin on mixtapes
Fulfilling visions I had back in 6th grade
Except this meant way more than gettin paid
Worth more than streaming numbers niggas brag about
Heart broke a bit when all my niggas had it out
Couldn’t get ahold of niggas playin cat and mouse
Almost dropped the mic and contemplated backin out
Mеanwhile I’m part time working back of house
Parеnts divorced now I’m helpin with a couple bills
Grades dropping now I gotta climb another hill
Was driving straight until a hidden hand cut the wheel
I was on the verge of crashing out
Took advice from anyone willing to pass it down
'Cause I was feeling helpless
And thought somebody had the answer for the shit I dealt wit
Hardly ever home family probably think I’m selfish
Might’ve been depressed I probably couldn’t even tell it
Rappin at these shows I don’t even think they felt it
What good is being dope if I couldn’t even sell it?

[Verse 2]
People around me always tell me stay the course
And that I’m close to the life I been praying for
Sometimes I gotta ask myself what I’m in this for?
I been feelin, certain feelings I can’t ignore
My inner voice tell me that I gotta keep pushin
You already did so many things they said you couldn’t
It’s easy for me to forget how far I really took it
People wasn’t checkin for me, nobody was lookin
Tryna find my footing in a city that I wasn’t from
It was different than the city I was comin from
'Cause to everybody I was just a nobody
Either go hard or go home I’m not a homebody
Insecure and introverted tryna come up out my shell
Whatever it takes to make a name for myself
Lot of people changed I’m remaining myself
In hopes someone relates to the pain that I felt
