Lyrics
This is the struggle of an upcoming artiste
This song explores the challenges faced by a budding artist.
I don't like that tag but the chronicles is just getting started
The artist dislikes being labeled as "upcoming," but their journey is just beginning.
I don't know what the future hold but we still push regardless
Uncertain about the future, they persist despite the unknown.
And I'd never let my dream die, don't wanna smell the carcass
They are determined not to let their dreams die, avoiding failure.
I always thought I'd get signed back when I was fifteen or sixteen
At a younger age, they anticipated getting signed to a label.
Hoping for my face up in a big screen
Dreamt of fame, envisioning their face on a big screen.
Watching all these kids scream
Hoped for adoration from fans, experiencing their excitement.
Perform with a ripped jean
Performed with a casual, ripped style.
And a hood with a cap on with my sneaks clean
Describing their attire, aiming for a stylish look.
But I thank God that he let me grow lyrically
Grateful for personal growth in lyrical skills.
If I got signed then, how bad would my lyrics be
Contemplating that signing earlier might have affected their lyrical quality negatively.
I guess we'd never know cos you would probably would get sick of me
Uncertain about how they would've evolved musically if signed earlier.
Now I just keep my mouth shut and let my talent speak for me
Choosing to let talent speak for itself instead of self-promotion.
Now I'm stressing bout how to get my songs played
Concerned about getting their songs heard by a larger audience.
Yeah I got the skill, I hope that I don't go the wrong way
Fearful of making wrong decisions despite possessing skill.
Cooking lyrics all day so I can serve you on a plate
Constantly crafting lyrics to serve them to the audience.
Let your mind feed on my song, never forget what you ate
Wants listeners to deeply engage with their music.
And you can talk to me anytime you want I'm so perceptive
Accessible and open to communication with fans.
And I still worry about if my songs would be receptive
Concerned if their songs will be well-received.
This is my perspective, I laid it in a verse
Expressing personal perspective through verses.
And I just hope that soon enough I get the recognition I deserve cos...
Hoping for deserved recognition in the near future.
Music's in my head o
Repeated lines emphasizing the process and hope for success.
I pick up my pen o
-I write my lyrics well o
-I hope my music sell o
-Music's in my head o
-I pick up my pen o
-I write my lyrics well o
-I hope my music sell o
-This is the struggle of an upcoming artiste
Reflections on acceptance in the music industry, seeking support, and guidance.
I don't like that tag but the chronicles is just getting started
-I don't know what the future hold but we still push regardless
-And I'd never let my dream die, don't wanna smell the carcass
-It's awkward when I write a song and then record it
-I play it for my niggas, they be like it's okay but they not really supportive
-My heart was getting hardened
-My mind was getting guarded
-Slowly becoming a warrior I'm turning to a spartan
-Would the industry accept me
-I never let you down if you niggas let me, I'm set free
-I hope you niggas dont forget me
-If I'm going off course I hope that you correct me and help me
-Would the industry accept me
-I never let you down if you niggas let me, I'm set free
-I hope you niggas dont forget me
-If I'm going off course I hope that you correct me and help me
-Music's in my head o
Reiteration of the artist's thoughts about music creation and commercial success.
I pick up my pen o
-I write my lyrics well o
-I hope my music sell o
-Music's in my head o
-I pick up my pen o
-I write my lyrics well o
-I hope my music sell o
