They Say

I just want to hit the top, throw the team a latter up
When I step into the field, grip the steel and batter up
I ain’t tryna mess around, it’s been taking me too long
I got so much on my mind, feel like I been doing wrong
Like I said that I’d be stratosphere a year ago
Knew I had to blow, hit the city thinkin', «Here we go»
But focusin' on school life and music been a merry-go
But in the scheme of things, talking dreams, then I’m movin' slow
Hit after hit after hit, and I don’t know
How many hits do it take to really hit home?
How many noes do it take to really get known?
How far you gotta go not to miss home?
Sayin' they proud of me, wait on what I’m 'bout to be
Ain’t sure what I’m 'bout to see, just hope you remember me
If I ever change, take me back to the days
When my future was dim, when my heart was ablaze
They say that it’s phony, they say that it’s wrong
Just live your life and sing along
The people are crazy, look what we’ve done
Made history once, now your time is up
They say that it’s phony, they say that it’s wrong
Just live your life and sing along
The people are crazy, look what we’ve done
Made history once, now your time is up
The music’s in my factory, plus it’s in my blood
Came a long way, lots of people show love
But it’s been a far journey, long trips from home
Taking shots, temperatures too cold for jokes
Got this all in my plots and my schemes
Started off jokin', made a team reality
Plus a dream made a salary
Got some cream, got it all on the low
If you thinkin' how I’m thinkin', I sell music, not coke
Not a joke, I will show my skills in the ring
My skills in the rumble, my music will bring
My talent is humble, I love everything
I keep it a hundred without wearing bling
I tell her she loves it, she likes it like that
My tunes make her happy, my music is crack
The day that she leaves is the day I’ll be gone
Forever, forever, the story lives on
They say that it’s phony, they say that it’s wrong
Just live your life and sing along
The people are crazy, look what we’ve done
Made history once, now your time is up
They say that it’s phony, they say that it’s wrong
Just live your life and sing along
The people are crazy, look what we’ve done
Made history once, now your time is up
Where you been? I been shinin'
This some bad timin', I been runnin' from the sirens
Professor of this rhymin', they all come to me for guidance
They gon' all tell me I’m blindin' once I hit 'em with the diamonds
Once I hit 'em with that, oh my goodness gracious
I could make another hit, they still won’t play me at the stations
This my dream job, ain’t no need for applications
No more pickin' up the pieces, I’ma just pick up the patience
I’ma call out all the fakes, the froyos
Years later, guess I grew out of the polos
I’ma beast sidekick Han Solo
And the kush is my colon like I came in with Bartolo
Ain’t made no music, guess I got a little bored
I need an outlet, I been trippin' over cords
Lyin' to myself like I don’t care about awards
Got a target on my back, guess I should open up a store
They say that it’s phony, they say that it’s wrong
Just live your life and sing along
The people are crazy, look what we’ve done
Made history once, now your time is up
They say that it’s phony, they say that it’s wrong
Just live your life and sing along
The people are crazy, look what we’ve done
Made history once, now your time is up
