lyrics

Chorus 1:

I put my heart into this music
because this music is my life
from the moment that I wake up
‘til I fall asleep at night
a dream is but a dream
unless you’re brave enough to try
success is what you make it
make it more than just a grind
‘cause we ‘gon make it
we gon’ make it x 13
these haters think they can fade us, huh?

Verse 1:

Non-believers are not on my level
I settle for nothing, my foot on the pedal
I’m feeling your energy, feeling your energy
enter the entity into the vessel
verses averted and rep’n the turn up
converted the effort to work with a purpose
invented the rules and then all you learned it
you mumbling rappers can come and get murdered
told me I wouldn’t amount to nothing
from the jump I knew that y’all were wrong
locked myself inside my room
put pen and pad to writing songs
now I travel around the country
paid for what y’all hating on
much more to the story
listen close and try to follow along
hold up, hold up
now, I’m focused
for a moment, I felt hopeless
down and out, was almost homeless
lost some friends to overdoses
more than music
it’s my culture
ask me what’s the diagnosis
I go harder than these vultures
Kaepernick
can’t stand up for ya


Chorus 2:

I put my heart into this music
because this music is my life
from the moment that I wake up
‘til I fall asleep at night
a dream is but a dream
unless you’re brave enough to try
success is what you make it
make it more than just a grind
‘cause we ‘gon make it
we gon’ make it x 13
these rappers think they can fake it, huh?


Verse 2:
We put that work in now it’s working
through the touring and networking
nights we wondered was it worth it
slayed these stages, watch us earn it
slept on floors in rooms unfurnished
waging war on what you worship

this world of wealth is not the world
if once you wield it you feel worthless -- word?

we been traveling, searching,
tracking the formulas
tunneling under the past
peddling music, connecting with people
and building our music and brand
delivering data, recording the music
and destined to follow the path
remembering delicate memories
digging up pieces and parts of a man

hold up, hold up,
now, we reaching heights
we never dreamed
do this, do this
for my soul, but also for my team
delving deeper, making music
meant to set you free
listen up and hear my vision
come alive and let it breathe

Chorus 3:

I put my heart into this music
because this music is my life
from the moment that I wake up
‘til I fall asleep at night
a dream is but a dream
unless you’re brave enough to try
success is what you make it
make it more than just a grind
‘cause we ‘gon make it
we gon’ make it x 13
these haters gon’ make us famous, huh?

Breakdown:

We put that work in now it’s working
if you work it, hit the floor
we go hard and we go stupid
we go ignorant, drop it low
our world is turning, so we turn up
time is ticking, let it go
life is precious, spend it present
in that moment that we hold
our world is turning, so turn up
time is ticking, let it go
life is precious, spend it present
in that moment that we hold
we put that work in ‘til it’s working
if it’s worth it, you will know
we go hard and we go stupid
we go ignorant, for our goals
and we ‘gon make it

we celebrate it
and we been patient
it’s entertainment
the aim is to strive for greatness, huh?


Truncated Chorus 1:

I put my heart into this music
because this music is my life
from the moment that I wake up
‘til I fall asleep at night
a dream is but a dream
unless you’re brave enough to try
success is what you make it
make it more than just a grind….

Chorus 4:

I put my heart into this music
because this music is my life
from the moment that I wake up
‘til I fall asleep at night
a dream is but a dream
unless you’re brave enough to try
success is what you make it
make it more than just a grind
‘cause we ‘gon make it
we gon’ make it x 13
these haters ‘gon make us famous, huh?
