For this (feat. iamnobodi)

I waited all my life for this
They know me, and I won't change it
(We used to say, yeah, we used to say) all my life for this
They know me, I won't change it, but I made it

It's tough not to get anxious
Exercisin' my patience
I thought it neva would happen
I swear I waited for ages
Had faith in the journey
I said "let's see where it takes us"
We want gratification
But see it happens in stages
With a team on my back
A couple times might have cracked
But neva broke and I can hold them in fact
Man, ya know how much weight was on him?
Must have came from within'
My lanky ass don't even go to the gym
And now I'm in, just one, but twenty mixtapes to my name
A lot of y'all would lose yo appetites
With a distaste for the game
Lot of y'all would call it quits
Becos' ya just chase for the fame
Tell my story to inspire ya
Just in case you're the same
Self-made, now I employed ten of my friends
Tryna move moms out the honda
Tryna send her a benz
Appreciate it all becos' ain't no tellin' when this shit ends
Unless this is all a dream and then it depends
Well, yeah...

Listen, yeah, and all we eva wanted was chances
Dreams of life changin', checks from label advances
Coppin' mansions
The kind of conversations marijuana enhances
Back then I let them know what my plans is
A poet in sixteen bar stanzas
Sixteen with dreams so far fetched no one understands us
Playin' shows in stadiums
Where everybody way up in the stands is
Standin' on their feet, I paint the picture on canvas
That I seen, in my dreams in quick visions and glances
Woke up in nyc today, don't think we're in kansas
Anymo', but sometimes it's hard to be sure
Cos' if I dreamed that it happened, did it actually or?
Am I just still asleep, and none of it's real
Wake up tomorrow right back in the struggle
Tryna come up and build
I don't know this shit gets deep and ignorance is bliss
It's all I've eva luvd, I waited my whole life for this, yeah

Yeah, reportin' live from nyc
Two thousand and fifteen and foreva
Yeah, uh, yeah
I don't know how to end this shit
Yeah, uh, yeah
