Almost Quit
Resilience in Rhymes: Jerome The Prince's Triumph Over Adversity
Lyrics
I can’t even lie, I almost quit making music a couple times…
I faced moments where I seriously considered quitting my music career.
But I couldn’t do it, cause all I know is to cope with rhymes…
I persevered because expressing myself through rhymes is my coping mechanism.
My mind is saying I’m failing and I’m not doing fine…
My mind tells me I'm failing and not doing well in my endeavors.
But fuck that shit cause giving up and me just can’t combine…
I reject the idea of giving up; it doesn't align with who I am.
My Shawty love me and she loyal and she hella fine…
My partner loves me, is loyal, and attractive.
My puppy cute, my mama healthy, and I am alive…
My dog is adorable, my mother is healthy, and I'm grateful for being alive.
Counting my blessings, but Im tryna count this money too…
I acknowledge my blessings while striving for financial success.
Ain’t have no father figure, told myself that I am proud of you…
Despite lacking a father figure, I affirm my own worth and pride.
Yeah, I get sad but I won’t get the bag just moping round…
I may feel down, but I won't achieve my goals by moping around.
Time don’t stop for no one, no matter what that globe go around…
Time continues regardless of obstacles, emphasizing life's continuous cycle.
Motherfuckers hating on the net, they just envious…
Online haters are envious, lacking the courage and skill I possess.
You don’t have the balls to do what I do, nor the penmanship…
My journey is ongoing, and I'm still in the early stages of it.
Been a fucking journey but we still are in my genesis…
My skills and achievements are evident in my body of work.
Y’all ain’t fucking with me and my catalog the evidence…
Others provide opinions, but I remain indifferent and true to myself.
They give me they opinions, will I ever give a fuck, never…
Despite my height, people look up to me, recognizing my influence.
5’7” but they look up to me like the Buck’s center…
I can discern when someone's time is up without relying on technology.
I don’t even need my Apple Watch to tell your time is up…
I grind hard to secure financial stability surpassing the "Snyder Cut" film duration.
Grinding cause I want my money longer than the Synder Cut…
Encouraging experimentation but cautioning against reckless risk-taking.
Homie it is cool to try new stuff, but don’t you try your luck…
The beat is invigorating, akin to lighting a blunt with certainty.
This beat is like a blunt, it ain’t no question I’m gon light it up…
My career is just getting started; opportunities arise from setbacks.
Pay attention cause I’m only just warming up…
Life is a marathon; treat it seriously, avoiding triviality.
Another window opens when another windows boarded up…
Life is not a joke; leave humor to designated outlets like "Rick and Morty."
It’s a marathon, motherfuckers treat it like a forty…
Reliable support from family and friends is integral to my life.
Shit is not a joke, leave the comedy for rick and morty…
My story is unique, and my inventory of experiences is extensive.
I can count on all my brothers, my mama, my shorty…
I'm not violent, but I defend my family fiercely if tested.
Can’t nobody tell my story, so much in my inventory…
Transitioned from financial struggles to a point where my money looks scarce.
I am not a killer, but my test my fam and it will get gory…
A Disney reference, but my content is not family-friendly.
Went from pawning shoes and rings to my dollars looking blue like Dory…
My heart has endured pain, dealing with the cards fate has dealt me.
Disney reference but I swear this shit ain’t family friendly…
People flaunt on social media, but my real success lies in tangible profits.
My heart has been damaged plenty, working with the cards they dealt me…
Emphasizes prioritizing financial well-being over social media metrics.
Motherfuckers flexing on the gram that they be popping off…
Many focus on followers, neglecting actual financial prosperity.
I average like 200 likes a post, but trust my profits strong…
Critiques the superficiality of some in the rap industry.
Y’all are worried bout your followers and not your dollars…
Criticizes those who speak of a lifestyle they don't truly experience.
Y’all are rapping just to rap, in real life y’all are cowards…
Others avoid acknowledging me because my truth challenges them.
Y’all are talking bout a life that you don’t really live…
Reflects on the challenges of gaining recognition and support in the industry.
They don’t shout me out cause they handle all the truth I spit…
Expresses a commitment to authenticity and continuous effort in music.
Went on tour and shit I only sold like 20 tickets…
Despite challenges, I'll persist in staying true to myself and my craft.
Most of y’all afraid to say it, that’s the fucking difference…
Addresses the fear of expressing uncomfortable truths, setting him apart.
Till I die man Ima keep it real, and keep on spitting…
I'll remain genuine until the end, continuing to share my truth.
Damnit I was tripping, I would rather die than get to quitting…
Acknowledges a moment of doubt but emphasizes a preference for authenticity over quitting.
