Quiet On The Set

(Nothing we gon' say will make you see)

I'm focused on the grind, my bucket list is to die with no regrets

What is school to me but to live a life alone in debt?

Just to work a job for nothing, now I'm better off with rapping

So to everybody yapping, tell them, "Quiet on the set"

When they tell me I should quit, I try to talk and they dismissed it

Twisted, wish that they would stay up out my business

Tell me how some people who ain't never taken risk yet

Sayin' I ain't thinkin' realistic, I always been a misfit

Sick of always hearin' 'bout a plan B

Every day, I start to think that they don't understand me

Pressure from my family, handsome professor

Tell me everything I'm not instead of everything I can be

But I'm just tryin' to find a way in

Pieces I've been prayin', I've been grindin' every day

And when they run and try to hate 'em, I'm coming like a child playing

Hands up on my ears, so I don't hear what anybody's saying, I don't hear 'em at all

Talk to me 'bout a backup plan when I do this song (whoo)

You say that I need to grow up, and I've been moving wrong

I'll show you who the don, I'm spending every waking moment

Once I wake up in the morning just to prove them wrong, they like

(Nothing we gon' say will make you see)

I'm never gon' see

I step into the booth, this is who I wanna be

This is who I wanna be

Ain't no motivation in this neighborhood

Makes me wonder why they ever wanted me to stay for good

Ghost town of people fascinated by the glory days

Grindin' only way that I could ever say we parted ways

Workin' holidays, walkin' through the pouring rain

'Cause I hate this, quit my job so I could be recording in the basement

Promise I ain't gonna be complacent

With somethin' that requires me to shapeshift and try to play as safe as the Matrix

Everybody holding me back

I've seen enough of where I'm from to really know where we at

I say my dreams and ain't too cold to react

I got that fight in my soul, to overcome this wild flow in these tracks

I got a dream to chase, I never sleep, it's keeping me awake

Came up from the mud so I could be this great

Y'all are just some roadblocks

Hating while I'm grinding 'til my sneakers break

Doubting, but you never took that leap of faith, I'm up next

(Nothing we gon' say will make you see)

I'm never gon' see

I step into the booth, this is who I wanna be

This is who I wanna be
