i'm a starvin' artist with my heart up on my sleeve
tryna start a legacy to stretch as far as you can see
never in it for the money but the marketing is easy
when you're broke with bad equipment but this quality competes
damn right
don't it feel lovely when you're supported?
people sharing your vision and taking actions toward it
people sharing your music and then singing your choruses
but no one really knows how much it means to this foreign kid
(no) nobody knows
nobody knows
how many flows
i got up under my nose
some of them outta control
when i'm alone
thinking about all my goals
thinking about the approach
pick up the phone
w/ feezy 6 in the mor'nin'
zoning
figuring out how to blow up
like damn
nigga the industry full of ridiculous politics
i'm sick of the shit anybody who's killing ' it
isn't acknowledged quick
i'm an inch away
from pistol banging hip hop and shit
but i just refrain
and just complain to my squad and sing

isn't this all a part of the dream?
nothing is ever all as it seems
i didn't expect the road to be clean
but what the fuck it take to become a king?
x2

isn't what you wanted(ISNT THIS WHAT U WANTED)
isn't what you dreamed of?
(LOVE, LOVE, LOVE)

isnt what you wanted boy?
isn't what you dreamed of?
isn't this what you been chasing
ever since you was 13 huh?
didn't you ask Allah for this
aren't you blessed with your team bruh?
didn't you want the hardest flow of 2017 huh?
didn't you want the conscious
to take over the mainstream?
in a way that you can pave
and make a lane where u reign king?
the people have told you Kendrick & Cole
is where you're ranking
everybody understands that the music industry's
really changing
so what are you gonna do when it's time?
are you reppin' the city you in or you reppin' sudan?
are you forever developing music and perfectin' your rhymes?
are you forever spreading the messages of peace like Islam?


isn't this all a part of the dream?
