They Said Ivan B

[Chorus]
They said I'll never make it out
But I know I'ma make it one day, one day
Told my momma I'ma make her proud
I promise I won't let you down, you down
How you gonna tell me how to live my life?
How to live my life?
You don't know what's that like, yeah
You don't know what's that like

[Verse 1]
I can't be collective, I've never faulted for the fame
Only time I'm tripping's when I travel countries on a plane, yeah
The more you gain, the more they think you'll pay for everything
They say, "Don't let the fame change you"
I'm not the one who changed, look—
People break you for the dollars, that makes sense
Take favors that they pitching me? They'd pitch tents
Livin' life, man, what a ride; they said this was suicide
Did you forget the alphabet? All you say is "you and I," yeah
Step outside and it's really cold out
You was cool in highschool but you're broke now
Hit the stage, I bet it sold out
I'm in the zone now
They couldn't get the picture even if they had they phones out, yeah
I've never had a lot to say, just follow your dreams
But if I let the pride talk, does that say more about me?
Am I exhaling the pain or am I letting it breathe?
The more likes that I see, the less I really do see
All this anger that I carry has been seeping out
Hard for me to keep it out, so they see me leave it out
Sixteen, making music, so they left me out
Always had to put me down
See me up, they friendly now
That's why I never come around
