I remember moms telling me this time moves fast
Sitting on the stoop watching summer just pass
Flicking off the ash from the best weed blowing
Carving out my words fill a page full of emotion
Plan stay in motion devoted to this music
10 Year relationships are lost to acoustics
Hard to understand you on the outside looking in
Few stuck around got a few good friends
Ears get lend I climb right in
It's pen work late hours 2 AM
Beats provided by the mighty Notteloquent
Chumps get shot at when they style's too delicate
Pocket change settling 12 hour flights
17 Shows hardly sleep every night
That's the life trying to struggle not to lose mind
Wonder why I do it as I board another flight
High as they say fly beast reign phenomenal
Respected by my peers give thanks to the honorable
And I ask myself why do I put myself through it
Long flights little pay all for the music
It's hard to understand why we put ourselves through this
Guess you gotta love it to keep the crowd moving
And I ask myself why do I put myself through it
Long flights little pay all for the music
It's hard to understand why we put ourselves through this
Guess you gotta love it to keep the crowd moving
And there she goes again hazel eyes pretty skin
Staring from the front row loving how I rip shows
In love with music and the lifestyle that come with it
Many couldn't deal with it ganged up and forfeited
Guess I'm in it for the long haul
MJ shit cuz our music stay off the wall
Lonely nights isolated like a kick drum
Late night late hours feel where I'm coming from
Petron shot Bacardi rum crowds looking hazy
Spilling on your outfit messing up your paisley
We do it for the music
Been doing this ever since Nike said just do it
Test mic one two it dreaming when I wrote this
Mind tend to stray trying to stay focused
Words print sloppily looking like cursive
Improvise on stage can't stand rehearsing
Beats immersed in don't call lab working
Telescope out yeah cuz we stay searching
ย
And I ask myself why do I put myself through it
Long flights little pay all for the music
It's hard to understand why we put ourselves through this
Guess you gotta love it to keep the crowd moving
And I ask myself why do I put myself through it
Long flights little pay all for the music
It's hard to understand why we put ourselves through this
Guess you gotta love it to keep the crowd moving
