Look at all the people in

Everybody back outside,

Whole bunch of real good

Same swang every day, I

can't switch routine

Tryna go see some places I never seen

I done said a whole lot,

never said it's easy

Tryna climb to the top,

I'm just steady creepin'

Could be better a lot but

I'm more than decent

Kind of feel like a dream but I'm

wide awake

They don't give you the title,

you gotta take it

Lots of energy mixed with determination

I'm a goer,

I don't like procrastination

I'm just growin',

I feel like I need my space
