[Verse 1]
I woke to use my imagination
Women all around me giving me congratulations
There are no raps I’m wasting, tryna be massive famous
No more waiting at the station, no more less than average payments
Its art, when things got hard I opened my scars
Raising the standards so one day I’m raising a glass
From missing out on tickets to copping a backstage pass
What can I say its written in stars, its my destiny to live fast
I’m writing every day and seeing the positive trend
I made my best song then topped it only to top it again
They don’t know what I’ve been doing behind the scenes
Thеy think that my prediction’s stupid but I can dream
So concentratеd, I budget my time hard
People around me are wanting a bigger piece of the pie chart
But I’m a busy man, busier than a girl who ain’t interested
Tryna make some music that I can look back on and be impressed with
[Hook]
I got stupid dreams of seeing billboards
With my face on them, that’s what I’ve killed for
I got stupid dreams of me in movie scenes playing on 3D screens and then there’s still more
[Verse 2]
So obsessed, I feel like I’m losing my head
The effort is having no effect, gotta send it like Hooligan Hefts
I made progress today and tomorrow I’ll do it again
Not getting the same recognition as rappers like me usually get
I’ve got skill and know that some won’t ever listen
So I’m resorting to consistency and repetition
Is there no I in team? I guess I spell it different
Wasting time making music probably ain’t the best decision
Don’t know it I’m crazy or not, nobody gave me a shot
I can pull my own even if I’m late to the top
I’m gonna get there but don’t need someone to save me a spot
The rules are set against me, I’m misbehaving a lot
Don’t talk shit, I don’t think that you know what’s going on
You said my rapping was horrendous and I showed you wrong
Don’t hit my line when I’ve got myself to focus on
And I was focusing on me when I sat down and wrote this song
[Hook]
I got stupid dreams of seeing billboards
With my face on them, that’s what I’ve killed for
I got stupid dreams of me in movie scenes playing on 3D screens and then there’s still more
I got stupid dreams of seeing billboards
With my face on them, that’s what I’ve killed for

[Verse 3]
You should be notified that I’ve been working overtime
It’s like my brain’s exploded and it blows my mind
I don’t see the possibility of failure, it’s as though I’m blind
We all got our struggles, let me help with yours while I cope with mine
They try step to me when they don’t know the price
Talk is cheap and so I’m taking no advice
I’m sick of seeing trash rappers getting overhyped
While it seems like my movement is immobilised
My friends know what I got planned when I go home at night
It’s futile being online trying to socialise
I’m someone people wanna know of but don’t wanna know
I don’t connect with others, I learned that long ago
So I retreat to a ruled A4 sheet
You’ve heard this all before, it’s wash rinse repeat
I can’t accept the life I have - fuck letting it be
Shoot your shots all you want, good luck getting to me
I am meant for this
It’s what I’m intended for
You can get a job
But I know that I’m meant for more
Beating myself up so much
I’m getting sore
Cos there’s never been a bag
I’ve been forever poor
What can I say for myself now? After all time that I’ve held down
This music and not one person around me has said that they’re hella proud
A flower in the pavement
Getting showered but the uppers and downers
So courageous
Plus the hours that I traded
For the joy of knowing I can be great at something
Just cos I chose to
I love to practice and that’s something I had to go through
When life is tough I find happiness in my home stu
To lighten up, if you knew me you’d know it’s so true
