[Verse 1]
I know that as of late things haven't really been the best for me
I'm tiring myself just tryna give the world the rest of me
The side that people don't see, the side that people don't know
Hiding in my shell, I'm at an all time low yo
Figuring that all these dreams, are nothing but a no go
Putting on performances but really just a no show
Feeling unaccepted in all places like my own home
Acting young as fuck and all my peers are acting so grown
I just want to fit in and maybe stand out
Get recognition cause I did this with no hand outs
Every penny that went into this I got it by myself
And I ain't even need no help, tired of being someone else
Cause all these expectations just waiting for me to fuck them up
The sky ain't the limit, only I decide when it's enough
It's not enough, so I keep striving till I reach my perfect form
I don't wanna be like you, I wanna be above the norm
Sorry mom but 9 to 5's don't really work out for me
Tryna count these hundreds, see the world from a balcony
All I ever wanted was for someone to be proud of me
Cause all I ever felt was that the world kept on doubting me
I refuse to make a living only getting paid hourly
Hoping for promotions so that they could raise my salary
They say dream big but don't forget reality
I feel like a mother man they taking the kid out of me
Cause all I really wanna do is stay a kid forever
At times I feel like my life isn't getting any better
I know it could be worse and I'm only under weather
But I just want to be the first to bring my fam the cheddar
Real talk, I wanna get paid nightly
Rapping on stages for the kids just like me
Tell them that it's possible although it seems frightening
They're gonna hear the thunder way before see the lightning
[Hook: Y La Otra]
Spilling out your brain and out your mouth
Nothing you do can wipe us out
We dream too big for paper bag towns
Break beneath, we fall right out
We told you, we told you
Never doubt, we'll achieve a dream bigger than this town
[Verse 2]
There's no point in wasting all your life inside an office
I'll be honest, that shit's wack as fuck, I'd rather find my calling
I'll be just like my family if I never go to college
But boy I'm fucking starving as if I was held hostage
There's no EBT for starving artists in America
Only broken dreams but in our minds it ain't fair enough
We wanna make it, all we wanna do is make our families proud
But in a world of hatred it seems all of that's just not allowed
Look, we never had no opportunities
Just me and my momma, looking at her, it's just you and me
But that ain't no excuse, we can do it all through unity
I wanna leave a legacy, no tears on your eulogy
Please just don't let me die the same way that I came in
A fucking nobody always getting pushed and caged in
I'll be real, I wasn't the coolest kid in high school
Always so unnoticed, didn't have a social life dude
Yeah I rap and all of that, it wasn't like that always
Bunch of fucking fake ass friends ignoring the hallways
Used to get made fun of and dealt with all assumptions
And judgment, had to put up with a bunch of dumb shit
Always the shy type, lacking friends with interests
I used to be a smarty pants, and lacking friends with intellect
The ladies weren't into me, so I just wasn't into them
You would've never heard this if it wasn't for the internet
I'm just a kid who loves music, always had a passion for it
They say talent doesn't go unnoticed, then they can't ignore it
I'm just like anybody else with a dream
We're all superheroes, even when it doesn't seem
[Hook: Y La Otra]
Spilling out your brain and out your mouth
Nothing you do can wipe us out
We dream too big for paper bag towns
Break beneath, we fall right out
We told you, we told you
Never doubt, we'll achieve a dream bigger than this town
[Verse 3]
Many nights with Flardy talking bout how bad we want this shit
And Wolfie's older than me but he tells me not to jump the ship
Cause he looks up to me, I couldn't ever let my homie down
Knowing in the end of times, only they would hold me down
When me and Thermo used to kick back at the launchpad
I told him we would make it one day, do you recall that?
We've grown so fucking much, it won't be long before we're tall now
I told you motherfuckers, y'all my brothers, world is ours now
