RODEO Lyrics

Sometimes, I forget why I picked up this craft

Sat on my ass all day writing rough drafts

But I got a brief glimpse at the fame but that was swept under the rug

Those items devalued when I used to sign autographs

And it makes me laugh, that we even really took it that far

Rolled in mamas dodge to shows, but we felt like true stars

Recording in my homies closet, but we was doing something right

My sounds were getting played at all the local clubs and the bars

But I couldn't even get in, I was still just a minor

We thought we were eatin big, but we still ate at the diners

Maybe it got to my head cause that life has disappeared

Shoulda had a reality check, someone give me a shiner

No more target on my back, no worries bout security

10 years have flown past, a sense of my new maturity

So why the hell did I embark this journey in the first place?

The answer? It's only been my real therapy

Been at this for a minute now but I'm still so far from my throne

But ima make sure I saddle up today

Yeah this ain't my first rodeo

Made songs about shit that didn't have any value

But who knew?

That all the hard work and sacrifice that I put myself through

But there's no view?

I used to make music to someday win a Grammy

Now I just want to make enough to take care of my Grammy

To put on for my fam, my friends, my amigos

Take care of my boy out here fighting chemo, I love you bro

Don't take for granted cause when it go yeah it burns

Back to the drawing board waiting on my second turn

Lesson learned gon get it right this time around

Till I'm back on your radio like my last name stern

I refuse to go down as another millennial parody

Reevaluate the path that I've chosen so carefully

Answered my previous question bout this journey

That's the truth, it's been my only real therapy

Been at this for a minute now but I'm still so far from my throne

But ima make sure I saddle up today

Yeah this ain't my first rodeo

Been at this for a minute now but I'm still so far from my throne

But ima make sure I saddle up today

Yeah this ain't my first rodeo

And a broken home and some broken bones

Is all he'll have to show

For all the years that he spent chasin'

This dream they call rodeo

And a broken home and some broken bones

Is all he'll have to show

For all the years that he spent chasin'

This dream they call rodeo
