Have you ever put yourself in the old, worn boots
Of somebody with talent that has never borne loot? Do you know what it's like to see billboard songs Thinking you would make it by now, but still, you're wrong? To see people whom you helped pass a test in class Helped them mix their songs then see all your best surpassed See them run studios and profit from skill I know what talent is and I've got it, but still... Can't pay this rent working less than 20 hours a week I'd pray to god, but that's like turning over cowardice cheeks Might be biblical and lyrical, No power, too meek It's like joining languages at the Babel Tower to speak That's how hard it is to focus with so little on the last check With student loans to pay for a career that I don't have yet With music gear but without a studio to keep it in An ocean of debt and no buoyancy for me to swim No way for me to win, no time to take a breather Trying to get paid doing what I love and doing neither Writing songs is getting hard, easier time on my guitar But mixing songs not up to par when all success just seems so far Used to making beats with baking heat, battling, breaking streaks But even trying to write this verse has taken weeks, I'm aching, weak I think if I'm not gonna finish shit then I'm starting none Sometimes I'd rather not be an artist than be a starving one |

This was sick holmez. For some reason, topics like this usually bore me, but this was fuckin hot. Good to see you back to writting...Reminds me of the good ol days. No way for me to win, no time to take a breatherTrying to get paid doing what I love and doing neither ^Madness

With music gear but without a studio to keep it in
An ocean of debt and no buoyancy for me to swim No way for me to win, no time to take a breather Trying to get paid doing what I love and doing neither Writing songs is getting hard, easier time on my guitar But mixing songs not up to par when all success just seems so far When I read stuff like this it makes, me wonder why ya don't write more things. I mean that was as real as it gets

This was dope. I feel you outdid ya partners even though they were nice... This felt more personal... Which makes it more relateable, as if it's from the heart rather than a topical from somene else's eyes... The wrting was simply great...
