A love story untold, watch it unravel
The limelight’s kinda blinding from afar but I traveled
Too far to go back, nah, this isn’t for me
Not now, when I’m finally in distance to reach
What I been dreaming bout
Everything before now, I didn’t care
Hope is just a lifeline, I wanna be a millionaire
So many voices telling me that I’m killing shit
I’m feeling like a puppet and their words the ventriloquist
What year is this? I’ve lost track, out in the clouds
I remember the days when I was down on the ground
In the middle of a battle you can’t win, but looking above
I saw a future and asked, “Could it be love?”
Hook
Do you believe in love at first sight?
*Not me homie that’s bullshit*
Do you believe you’re stuck in your life?
*You got me homie I’m pushed in*
All you gotta do is follow your fate
And risk sacrificing everything you’ve got to your name
*That’s all? You gotta be playing, what’s your name?*
You got me, they call me insane
Gimme six secs, I’ll shatter the world record
For trying to quit seventy times before ending
And happily accepting losing out to the world’s best
Jordan’s great, but we love Scottie too, he’s sure second
So I’m sure betting on myself, like I’ll take the odds
Found a chip on my shoulder out in Vegas, dawg
I play the cards I was dealt, and use a cheat code
To peak over, and see a king holding three jokers
Bet, I would never trade mine for his
They judge a book by a cover to define what’s real
Their loss, I don’t care much, they’re baffled I’m rapping
But didn’t read the fine print, going chapter to chapter
There’s a damn good reason why I’m packing for travel
And you gone see it when I’m back from Alaska, believe that
I don’t need rap; I breathe that, and each track
Is like a soliloquy, what I’m dealing with, or feel as if I’m incomplete
Or drop the L and then compete, battle charged, battle scars
Havoc thoughts, all of that and more, get a seat
Grab some popcorn, and watch me tell you everything I’ve every thought
In the confines of a beat, I better start:
