[Intro]
Dear future me, I wanna be an NBA player
Dear future me, I wanna be the President
Dear future me, I wanna be a doctor
Dear future me, I'm gonna be a rapper
[Verse]
Dear future me, I fear future me
Cuz all my life, I been workin' nonstop
Nonstop, to the top
Long way to go
Been waitin' on this drop, 'till the haters finally stop
Can you get it through your head?
I don't care what you think (don't care what you think)
Think things all you want, try to make 'em true
Life change in a blink (life change in a blink)
I hope you make it far, where you wanna go?
Front row at my show? No?
Don't try to act a fool one day, then try and be my bro, yeah
All my life, crashin' , when will it happen?
Me making it one day, I hear you all laughin'
But when I win a Grammy, when I win plaques
My long lost friends, they finna run back
But Ima be laughin'
At the age of 9, saw my dad in a casket
I didn't ever wanna see that happen
1/22/13 , worst day of my life
Dad, you hear me rappin' ?
I do this for you, I hope that you're proud of the man you became
I won't ever do drugs
That's why you won't ever see me rappin'
Mom, if you hear this, you raised me right
I won't ever do drugs, it won't ever happen
Cuz Ima be the best, let you finally rest
Been workin' 20 years, I know that you stressed
And Marc, if you hearin' this, trust me, I'm serious
I'm so grateful that you in my life
My dad couldn't do it, you a true dad
Helpin' with everything, you a true dad
When my mom was workin' , who was there for me?
Yeah, Marc was, man really cares for me
Expressin' this song to show my gratitude
I write how I feel, I don't care if it's bad for you
I don't care if I get hate on this song
I don't care if it's 3 minutes long
Yeah
(I don't care if it's 3 minutes long)
They don't see my vision
I rap with precision
They say there's nothing to see in me
Maybe cuz you don't believe in me
But Ima be laughin'
When I'm doin' shows, they all hear me rappin'
It's gonna be lit, they'll call it a hit
Reminiscing on when I wanted to quit
I remember a night, I was like 12
I once really thought about killin' myself
Nobody loved me, nobody liked me
I got this rage fillin' up inside of me
I couldn't tell anyone these thoughts in my head
It's crazy that my friends once wanted me dead
But I never showed it, I wanted to hide it
My face lookin' happy, you don't know what's inside it
All of my pain, it's now comin' back
"How you feel pain when you got 3 stacks?"
I don't rap for the money, don't rap for the gains
I rap for my dad, express all my pains
"T, just be happy, no need for the stressin' "
It's hard to be happy, battlin' depression
Never thought I'd be open, I'm pourin' emotions
I never get sleep, 3 A.M. when I wrote this
But I am still smilin'
I don't know how, when I think about violence
That's all my songs are, you call it "a bar" , when I say I'll do anything to make it far
But you don't know my hustle, you don't know the grind
One day I'll get signed, happiness, I'll find
I'll come out of nowhere, I swear I'll be known
I swear I'll be known, but I will feel alone
Somehow I'll do that
I feel alone, but you already knew that
One day I'll wake up, and think of the days, when I felt depressed, and say- "Man, I went through that?"
Listen right now, I know it's hard
But if you are true, you will make it far
Just bet on yourself, always believe
And Trust God, He always has a reason
Trust me
