The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Why do I feel so alone?

Like everybody passing through the studio

Is in character as if we acting out a movie role

Talking bullshit as if it was for you to know

And I don't have the heart to give these

Bitch niggas the cue to go

So they stick around kicking out feedback

And I entertaining it as if I need that

I had a talk with my uncle and he agreed that

My privacy about the only thing I need back

But it's hard to think of them polite flows

Mr Fano poloto suits on your night clothes

And Jordan sweat suits are your flight clothes

And you still make it even when they say your flight closed

Eyes hurting from the camera phone light shows

Life was so full

Now this shits just been light pole

Always said I'd say it all on the right track

But in this game you only lose when you fight back

Black diamond bracelets

Showing you the basics

I can't live and hold the camara

Someone gotta tape dis

I make hits and like a bitch

Just married I ain't miss

24 hours from greatness

I'm that close to

Don't ever forget the moment

You began to doubt

Transitioning from fitting in to standing out

Los Angeles, cabanas or atlanta south

Watchin home shows

Embarrassed to pull my camera out

And my mother embarased

To put my phantom out

So I park about 5 houses down

She said I shouldn't have until I have the crown

But I don't wanna feel the need to wear disguises around

So she wonder where my mind is and counts in the minus

But yet I'm rolling round the fuckin city like your highness

Got niggas reactin without a sinus

Cause what I'm working with is timeless

And promoters trying to get me out to they club

And say I have fun but I can't imagine how

Cause I just see my ex-girl

Standing with my next girl

Standing with the girl that I'm fuckin right now

And shit could get weird unless they all down

And so I stay clear

We from a small town

And everybody talks and everybody listen

And somehow the truth just always comes up missing

I've always been something dat these lables can't buy

Especially if they tryin to take a peice of my soul

And still b only tellin tales "damn drake fly"

And he just be like "silly mother fucker I know"

That was your bad

How could you pass up on em?

He just take the records

And he gas up on em

Wayne will prolly put a million cash up on em

Surprised no one ever put your ass up on em

Oh they did pole

At least they try to

And that's what happens

When you spitting what's inside you

But slip up and shoot the wrong fucking video

And they think they can market you

However they decide to naww

Before they told me to do me

And don't listen to anybody that knew me

Cause who of known me would

Mean that there's a new me

And if you think I've changed in the slightest

Could of fooled me

Baa into my city I'm da 2-3

Drug dealers live vicariously through me

I quit school and is not because I'm lazy

I'm just not the social type

And campus life is crazy understand

I could get money with my eyes closed

Lost some of my hottest versus down at cabo

So if you find a blackberry with the sides scroll

Sell that mothafucka to any rapper that I know

Cause they need it much more than I ever will

I got new shit

I'm gettin better still

Little niggas put my name in their verses

Cause they girlfriend put my ass on a pedestal

Future said cause it's ye shit you better kill

And I think it's got them making of a legend feel

Problem with these other niggas they

Ain't never real

Yeah, that's all I can say
