Eyes wide
Heart about to burst out from inside
I got a lot of pride
In what I think, in what I write
But on stage, in the limelight, every line, scrutinized and when I finally get it all tight
Then they might maybe almost admit I'm alright
That's how the rap game goes, just catching up and pretend like I know
But I don't even know what I want
Didn't even know I could write till I was grown up
Spent some years trying to build some confidence
Had to learn what hustle meant, get up off the fence
Stack these bars so high they pay the rent
Work so hard I never sleep again

I'm standing out here, lost like a child
But everything feels so new, so worthwhile
I used to flow down the path of least resistance
Without hesitance, I'm gonna have to go the distance

I'm standing out here, lost like a child
But everything feels so new, so worthwhile
I used to flow down the path of least resistance
Without hesitance, I'm gonna have to go the distance

For a long time I stressed, and I didn't do a thing
Had myself vexed, like I couldn't change anything
Bottles up, so high, hoping to get up out my mind
Sobered up, but still high, trying to catch up from behind
Tying my shoelace, now I'm first place, wasn't even invited to the race
Showed up, caught up and already outpaced
Crossing every border
But I don't even travel
Of course I'm out of order
Go 'head and bang the gavel
I'm a fire starter
And you don't hold a candle
Sheriff don't give no quarter
And I'm up in the saddle
You looking like a child
Your whole world unraveled
I got such a clean style
And you've lost every battle
Got to take the hustle to another level
Never settle for the bottom of the middle
Meddle with the rap game solve it like a riddle
Blow the whistle, cuz once I drop the album I'm gonna make it all official

I'm standing out here, lost like a child
But everything feels so new, so worthwhile
I used to flow down the path of least resistance
Without hesitance, I'm gonna have to go the distance

I'm standing out here, lost like a child
But everything feels so new, so worthwhile
I used to flow down the path of least resistance
Without hesitance, I'm gonna have to go the distance

I'm standing out here, lost like a child
But everything feels so new, so worthwhile
I used to flow down the path of least resistance
Without hesitance, I'm gonna have to go the distance

I'm standing out here, lost like a child
But everything feels so new, so worthwhile
I used to flow down the path of least resistance
Without hesitance, I'm gonna have to go the distance

Anxiety gonna be the death of me
Acting like my feelings might be deadly
Thinking that my mind is mine only
If I tell the truth how many people might disown me
Just relax, these just some rhymes
As long as it's real their gonna bump it every time
And if I really write some dope lines
Their feelings will be the same as mine
so now I'm out here, making my words clear
trying to hit the right vibe, to keep it in your ear
get you hyped for when the album drop next year
I have autism, allergies, and anxiety, but no fear
Put all on record, then I can move past
Put it on a beat, next level fast
Rhymes I trashed, now every first draft my last
My lines aren't just fly, they're first class

I'm standing out here, lost like a child
But everything feels so new, so worthwhile
I used to flow down the path of least resistance
Without hesitance, I'm gonna have to go the distance

I'm standing out here, lost like a child
But everything feels so new, so worthwhile
I used to flow down the path of least resistance
Without hesitance, I'm gonna have to go the distance
