Real Me
Take it back to my journey
Being broke was not working
Minimum wage
I wasn't paid
But I knew that it'd be worth it
Go to school but not learning
Learning bout my main purpose
Selling out shows, doing the most
Know that I gotta go earn it
Pro tools on my laptop
Everyday I be wrapped up
Making beats and I'm making songs
But nobody would put me on
Started out on my Soundcloud
50 plays and I'm gassed up
Knew that I gotta keep going cuz people be watching now I cannot back up
Mama told me I'd make it
Pops told me be patient
Brother told me I'd pop off
Never wanna be famous
Instagram makes animals
People focused on getting views
I just been focused on music I'm hoping to do everything that I said do
I remember when they thought I wouldn't make it
I remember when they thought that I was crazy
I remember every time that I fell down
But it turned me to the man that I am now
This the real me
Yeah this the real me
Everybody stayed down on the same team
This the real me
Yeah this the real me
And we all came up
What a feeling
This the real me
Yeah this the real me
Everybody stayed down on the same team
This the real me
Yeah this the real me
And we all came up
What a feeling
Growing up never the best
But I got heart in my chest
Never the one who would quit
History telling the rest
People be counting on me so I gotta make everything happen for me
Cuz I gotta lotta people waiting on me and I got a family I need to impress
Yes
Know I'm the man
Know I be counting up bands
Always remember the past
Knew that it never would last
Everyone who would've laughed
Now they all gone
Everything on
Don't need a party I gotta make songs
People be listening what I'm envisioning but I be hoping the righting my wrongs
Yeah
Everything that I built up
Took a lot of time
And a lot of gut
Lot of self belief
Lot of sacrifice
But I let it be
This ain't overnight
And I stayed down
When it got tough
And I got friends
And they show love
So we came up and we stay up
This ain't Hollywood I won't change up
I know
I remember when they thought I wouldn't make it
I remember when they thought that I was crazy
I remember every time that I fell down
But it turned me to the man that I am now
This the real me
Yeah this the real me
Everybody stayed down on the same team
This the real me
Yeah this the real me
And we all came up
What a feeling
This the real me
Yeah this the real me
Everybody stayed down on the same team
This the real me
Yeah this the real me
And we all came up
What a feeling
