10 years in but still feel like I'm brand new
Everybody asking when I'm gon break through
But I ain't break yet, guess that's proof I'm overdue
I ain't grew up in a trap, I grew up with some doubt
No one ever made it out, I'm tryna figure it all out
Had a mic and a dream, a basement for a stage
Wrote bars on the bus, you tryna get As
Never had the co-sign, never had the hype
But I showed up every night, tryna turn around my life
Friends fell off, time moved on
But I still have love for them, even when they gone
I'm the kid they forgot, but I ain't forget
Had to turn my hustle into something they respect
Never had a viral, never had a hit
But I had a reason why I can never quit
So if you see me on that same old street
Know I'm still chasing what they said I'd never be
And every no I heard, just built a thicker skin
I ain't make it yet, but I ain't never giving in
Ain't trying to be perfect, tryna be true
If you feel what I'm saying, maybe it's you
The one still writing, still dreaming at night
Yeah you never made it yet, but you just might
I'm still here, still dreaming, still fighting for a feeling
Still writing through the seasons, even when I got no reason
I'm still here, still believing, in a world that don't believe in me
But I don't need the world to see
I just need to be free, yeah I need to be me
I just need to be free, yeah I need to be me
10 years, and they still asking why?
Like the love for this ain't burning deep inside
I ain't chasing clout, I ain't tryna get rich
I just wanna spread love and happiness
No silver spoon, but no sob story
Just late nights, long drives, tryna get the glory
Got a voice and I use it, got pain and I fuse it
If the game never love me, I'll still never lose it
Still recording in my room like it's '09
Still got that same flame I had the first time
They say the world don't wait, but I do
Cause I know one day they'll play this and say "damn this you?"
Never fade into the static, or the noise
You have a choice, don't give up when it gets tough
I'm not here for a moment, I'm here for the climb
This ain't luck, this is working overtime
They say "get a backup plan," I say "this is the plan"
I stood my ground while others were given a hand
I've been broke, been tired, been shoved to the edge
But I'd rather fail true, than fake for a check
This ain't trends, this is years in the dark
Lighting up the world with a secondhand spark
I ain't got a gimmick, I just got guts
I don't got a label, I just show up
I'm still here, still dreaming, still fighting for a feeling
Still writing through the seasons, even when I got no reason
I'm still here, still believing, in a world that don't believe in me
But I don't need the world to see
I just need to be free, yeah I need to be me
I just need to be free, yeah I need to be me
Made peace with the fact I might not get mine
But I'll die knowing I gave it a good try
Maybe that's the win, showing up every day
Even when the love don't come my way
Still posting links no one ever clicks
Still got dreams that ain't coming quick
Still got songs nobody's ever heard
But I still bleed in every word
Still get chills when I hit record
Still pay B even when I can't afford
Still feel hope in the quiet nights
Still see stars when I close my eyes
I'm still here, even when the lights dim low
Even when the buzz don't grow
Even when the people go
I'm still here, for the kids with a song in their chest
With no hope left, just a heart that is blessed
I'm still here, for the ones who keep going through the letdowns
Stand tall when the world break em down
I'm still here, not because I have to
Because I choose to, because I need to
Because I am this, and I'll be here
Even if they never clap, if they never call me back
Even if my dreams fade to black
I'll still rap, still write, still fight
Still be me, still be here
Even when I'm not here
