Lyrics:
Being an independent artist can be very rewarding, but it can also be very stressful, trying to balance music, family, work, paying the bills. It can take its toll on you mentally, physically, and even spiritually, AND sometimes you can't help but ask yourself:
[Hook]
Do I do it all in vain?
Cause still not enough know my name
I been putting everything I have into my music
my heart, my soul, my pain.
Will I ever make it past the point I'm at now
will I level up in this game?
I sacrifice so much still the question remains...
[Verse 1]
I work hard for my family, and I still try to build a music career
it's a juggling act and I struggle with that
it's been tough just to get to here
But I've made dope shit for years
several times a day I gotta switch the gears
father, provider, husband, artist
so much as on my plate damn it's severe
And I get so frustrated
wondering why haven't I just made it
yeah I'm doing good with my music
but I can't support my family from it yet
I gotta upgrade it
trust faded
plus jaded
I'm underrated and I just hate it
everyday I'm being pulled in different directions and now
I'm feeling overwhelmed and suffocated
When I'm off work but I'm working on music
I feel guilty I'm not with my kids
but when I'm with my kids in the back of my head
I think damn I need to handle biz
I'm tryna be the best dad that I can
I really hope my KIDS understand that
I am trying to set a really a good example,
A man that can handle A fam
while advancing his plans
In a game full of venomous snakes
opportunists, and degenerate fakes
for years I been busting ass
plus uppin cash
sick of banging on the fucking glass
when will it break
I know the struggle strengthens and
you can't rise up if you're not pulled under
see I'll never lose hunger
but I can't help but wonder
[Hook]x2
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I made it further than they ever thought
but I'm still not living the life I wanna live yet
and THAT'S not because it's never sought
I work hard, I feel like I deserve better
when will life hand me the 23rd letter?
Take shots bustin' like Berrettas
Great Scott A King like Coretta
heavy is the head that wears the crown
many want me dead they wanna tear me down
but they treat me like royalty when they're around
unfortunately loyalty is rarely found
I'm a king in my own right
and I spring from the low life
Dream when there's no light
Though my talent is supreme that I adamantly bring
I still haven't got the cream I can hold tight
Satan wants me to sell him my soul
in exchange for the fame I keep telling him no
he said I might as well get the dough
I got a hell of a flow, but I'm incomplete like Bell and DeVoe
