VERSE 1:
If I'm the first in here then I'm the last to leave
I'm so determined to win Imma catch the breeze
Half my pain is still attached to me
So when I'm 6 feet deep ill let the casket breeze
Scared of d**h, with a bunch of other things
Yes I've heard my mother scream pleading for help
Like an unused toy that you leave on the shelf
So if I fail to succeed Imma grieve for myself, uh
I have felt despair so I know the pain is real
But I resistance to tarnishing like stainless steel
I used to love sleeping it made me close to d**h
But now I moulded comfort homie out of hopeless
My pain is undesirable that it is hurting less
In fact it makes me stronger that I was nurtured less
I raise the bar keep my head in the game
But it's hard when my life has been buried in pain
CHORUS:
I went from sleeping in the back of an alley
Pack my note pads in a bag coz I am rapping in Cali
Brings a tear to my eye that dreams can actually happen
From Sydney to Long Beach is where the action just happens
VERSE 2:
I like a warm breeze but I love a cold night
A graveyard to me is what hopes like
Love has never embraced me it don't hold tight
So why contemplate d**h with yo own life
Hunger kicked in and I'm starving again
I watched families and wished I was apart of them
My flesh and bone would rather be left alone
And yes I've been homeless so no I've never missed home
I've walked some lonely paths they never hold me hope
My life's a shipwreck homie and I'm a lonely boat
You can't hug a corpse no you can't hold me close
High on success and continue till I overdose
But I got some bigger dreams
Yeah Imma storm the charts
First stop Long Beach for performing arts
I know the road that I have chosen is hard
But I'm just hoping that I'm growing so I'm glowing at heart
CHORUS:
I went from sleeping in the back of an alley
Pack my note pads in a bag coz I am rapping in Cali
Brings a tear to my eye that dreams can actually happen
From Sydney to Long Beach is where the action just happens
