CR 908 - Let Me Breathe Lyrics

Feelin like Drizzy, gettin "closer to my dreams"
My life's a movie with a whole bunch of scenes
I overcame being homeless
But never forgot where home is
908, have it engraved on my tombstone
Bless up to my cousins man
I swear they gettin too grown
I remember I used to help you put your shoes on
And here you are, takin selfies wit ya new phone
Life can teach you when you don't know what the lesson is
I got the answers but you don't know what the question is
My bars decided that it's time to grow up
Wasn't always the man
But always planned to glow up
Started wit empty crowds man they never showed up Yeah
Disappointment makes me wanna throw up
We all got problems
But I been dealin with mine
Battles in the shadows with the fights in my mind
Even with that goin on I always stayed on my grind
I started rapping at 8 I guess it wasn't my time
17 years later man I started a label
My guardian angel
Without music I Wouldn't be able
To deal with these demons without really
Having my angels
Some of y'all really think you know who I am
You seen me grow, but that always was part of the plan
People swear they know you off the book or the gram
No conversations unless thru the text in your hands yeah
Suicide was never part of the plan
I rather start killing the game
On the outside looking in you probably think I that I do it for fame
I do it cuz it's the music that's been keeping me sane
Depressive thoughts dawg got me feelin ashame
And then I found the light when I jumped out the frame
I'm on the right track like I'm riding a train
I been plannin my way out
While y'all been playin some games
This shit isn't magic life isn't Aladdin
You gotta work hard to get what everyone's grabbing
Watch out for cold shoulders and the niggas back stabbin
It could come from people
That you hold to you close
They Pour poison in ya drank and start proposing a toast
It's like they won't be happy until you turn into a ghost
I be chillin while y'all niggas been doin the most
Welcome to my life, in the shadows of the limelight
Tryina get rich while tryina keep my mind right
I know that I'm genius but I kept it a secret
Cuz Even if I told you, dawg you wouldn't believe it
With that being said I rather show you what's up
Up to now now it's
Been harder than tough
I Been thru it all man
But i never gave up
It gets hard to swallow but I always finish my cup
Where I'm from most of us never see a quarter century
So Ima take advantage before the news has to mention me
Don't fall for the illusion, you'll make it ease
They never show the bloody knuckles or the scrapes on the knees
You can't pay your dues without paying some fees
A moment in my moment that's a moment to see
And I all I ever wanted was a moment to breathe
Yeah

Feelin like Drizzy, gettin "closer to my dreams"
My life's a movie with a whole bunch of scenes
I overcame being homeless
But never forgot where home is
908, have it engraved on my tombstone
Bless up to my cousins man
