2017 Lyrics

It took a lot to get to this point

Trials, tribulations, overcoming self doubt

I'm just tryna make myself at home with shit man

Just tryna find my place, you know?

Barely making enough to get my car paid

2017 a lot of days were dark days

Still learning to open up due to heartache

Had to trust that my girl would keep my heart safe

In my head thought I was ready for the big stage

Me and D$ working on mixtapes

Fulfilling visions I had back in 6th grade

Except this meant way more than getting paid

Worth more than streaming numbers niggas brag about

Heart broke a bit when all my niggas had it out

Couldn't get ahold of niggas playin cat and mouse

Almost dropped the mic and contemplated backing out

Meanwhile I'm part time working back of house

Parents divorced now I'm helping with a couple bills

Grades dropping now I gotta climb another hill

Was driving straight until a hidden hand cut the wheel

I was on the verge of crashing out

Took advice from anyone willing to pass it down

'Cause I was feeling helpless

And thought somebody had the answer for the shit I dealt wit

Hardly ever home family probably think I'm selfish

Might've been depressed I probably couldn't even tell it

Rapping at these shows I don't even think they felt it

What good is being dope if I couldn't even sell it?

People around me always tell me stay the course

And that I'm close to the life I been praying for

Sometimes I gotta ask myself what I'm in this for?

I been feelin, certain feelings I can't ignore

My inner voice tell me that I gotta keep pushing

You already did so many things they said you couldn't

It's easy for me to forget how far I really took it

People wasn't checking for me, nobody was lookin

Tryna find my footing in a city that I wasn't from

It was different than the city I was comin from

'Cause to everybody I was just a nobody

Either go hard or go home I'm not a homebody

Insecure and introverted tryna come up out my shell

Whatever it takes to make a name for myself

Lot of people changed I'm remaining myself

In hopes someone relates to the pain that I felt
