Thank You in Advance

[Verse 1] Cool nights get the mind right Lookin' at the dark sky make me hungry for the limelight All I ever think about is makin' it Buyin' all this studio equipment, I don't know if I can pay for it Fans say I'm they're favorite, better than my favorite rappers And I'm supposed to wrap my head around it All these hours in my room got me feelin' grounded What if I say everything but you don't like the way it sounded? I'm too open with it now, and it got me unprotected The kid that you grew up with ain't the kid that you expected To put his name in the envelope, push it and get accepted But I put on for the city and now everyone's affected Like it or not, ignoring truth don't make it fallacy Most of you would drop the ball, you juggle what I'm balancing Nervous but I know that these butterflys got a purpose So I keep it hidden but I kill 'em every time they surface Every time I spit, it's a confession And I'm reminded that is an unforgiving profession Me against the world, me and whoever in my corner I left my girl for this shit, and I ain't even warn her I chose the life that I love over the love of my life I don't regret it but I prolly couldn't do it twice [Hook] Everybody who believe in me has made me who I am We gon' make it 'cuz we gotta, let me thank you in advance [Verse 2] The luggage that I been carrying is heavy But I've been lifting the weight of the world and so I'm ready I used to let 'em slide, I got a bitter past But I'm quarterbackin' now and they don't gotta get a pass Left things unsaid, came back, said it Left my city, I'mma come back, get it They be talkin' like I'm deaf, when I come back deaded 'Cuz I left, dead broke, I'mma come back, breaded I'm all in, the chip on my shoulder is on the table now And all my people standing 'round it, I can't let the table down They cannot relate, everyone want everything Me? I made a choice and put that shit up on my plate 'Cuz what you bitchin' about if you don't give it everything you got? If I hear another complaint, I'mma flip out, you don't deserve it I'm workin' while they partyin', what, you think I prefer it? But you don't get rewarded for partyin', gotta earn it I learned it by watching all these wannabe celebrities Do it for attention, never do what no one ever sees It ain't glamorous, 99% of this shit is behind the scenes All they know is what they see through cameras You don't gotta like it but you will respect the grind I appreciate the loyalty, that shit is hard to find [Hook] Everybody who believe in me has made me who I am We gon' make it 'cuz we gotta, let me thank you in advance
