[Part I: One in Rotation]

Know you’re gonna feel

You don’t know the half you better chill

Worked my arse off without a meal

I don’t need no sympathy, promise they will remember me

That’s my word to keep, you might learn from me

This ain’t hard to read, I'm just asking please

To be heard now

I don’t want to be an overnight sensation

I'm tryin’ to make a record you can’t stop playin’

I'm tryin’ to make a record you can’t stop sayin’

I'm tryin’ to make a record you can’t forget

I'm the shit, I'm just waiting ‘till we’re all in agreement

I'm just trying to be the one you believe in

I'm just trying to be the one in rotation

Tell them play me on your radio station

I don’t want to be no one hit wonder

I'm trying to find some new skin to crawl under

I'm trying to find a new beat to go ape shit

Trying to parade this way that I'm made with

I'm not trying to be the fly by night time

Ain’t really made for the limelight, but I wanna live life

‘Till I'm living life under bright lights

Spit it till you hit that, I'm already in my prime

I'm trying to be that nigga

Do a few shows, let my name get bigger

Do a few mo’, let my bank account fill up

Tell you how I feel till you finally feel us

I'm trying to be that nigga

Do a few shows, let my name get bigger

Do a few mo’, let my bank account fill up

Tell you how I feel till you finally feel us

It’s like sound of my fears

Get on with your shit and handle your business

12 months never looked so manic in my life

I’ma take the title as the man of the year this year

It’s familiar, I’ve been here

Been disheartened, still my heart stay sincere

Things are never really like what they seem

Life got to me when I hit that eighteen

Trying to get them to recognise, heard but ain’t seen

Niggas biting flows, but they still ain’t me

This, that, let it slide, I’ma be alright

Never losing sight, kid is doing fine, shit is do or die

Don’t be quick to judge me

Life is hard, but it’s lovely

On a mad one, I must be

No one can say that they bus me

Did it on my own terms

I'm trying to be that nigga

Do a few shows, let my name get bigger

Do a few mo’, let my bank account fill up

Tell you how I feel till you finally feel us

I'm trying to be that nigga

Do a few shows, let my name get bigger

Do a few mo’, let my bank account fill up

Tell you how I feel till you finally feel us

Know you’re gonna feel

You don’t know the half you better chill

Worked my arse off without a meal

I don’t need no sympathy, promise they will remember me

That’s my word to keep, you might learn from me

This ain’t hard to read, I'm just asking please

To be heard now

[Part II: Wide Awake]

Don’t be so hard on your

Self, you a star in this

We play a part in this

Look where we are in this

Came from the soil and grew

Up to be loyal, count my

Blessings, what's worth more here?

Money or oil?

This is that DMT

This is that DMT

Don't you stay there asleep

Better wake up and smell the coffee

What's meant to will be

What is, meant to will be

I stay wide awake, wide awake

Wide awake, wide awake
