Lyrics
All this hard work gotta mean something
All the effort invested should have significance.
What I went through wasn't for nothing
Past struggles and challenges should not be in vain.
Hold up
Pause or interruption in the narrative.
I know what I'm doing
Confident in the chosen path and actions.
Everything I'm working for
Goals and aspirations are the driving force.
Road I'm pursuing
Persistent pursuit of a chosen path or career.
Hours in the studio locked in a session
Extended periods spent creating music in the studio.
Friends doubting I can even make it a profession
Friends expressing doubt in the potential success.
Back when I was rapping on Acoustica Mixcraft
Early days of creating music with basic software.
Panty hose on the mic help when the wind pass
Unconventional methods to enhance sound quality.
You can see the passion on my face like a chin strap
Visible dedication and commitment.
The real gone, naw with me where it's been at
Associations with genuine individuals and experiences.
Instead of buying books I got a Mac
Investing in equipment rather than traditional education.
Pro tools and a mic that tuition was my starter pack
Essential tools for pursuing a music career.
When I used to work at Conoco
Past employment at Conoco, balancing work and passion.
I be in the break room daydreaming writing on the phone
Creative moments during breaks at work.
All this hard work gotta mean something
Reiteration of the value of hard work.
What I went through wasn't for nothing
Past experiences were not without purpose.
Driving to Los Angeles
Geographical move with potential opportunities.
Doing time for cannabis
Legal consequences related to cannabis.
Writing raps sleeping on the couch
Struggling times, including sleeping on a couch.
It was challenging
Highlighting the difficulties faced.
Niggas never sent beats blame it on they ADD
Challenges in receiving beats due to others' issues.
Buwa split the bill wit my ma for my MPC
Shared financial responsibilities with family.
Got sick at my aunty house it was ravaging
Health challenges experienced while pursuing goals.
Family would hit me just to see how I was managing
Concern from family about coping with challenges.
Then I got to Westlake handing out my mixtape
Distribution of music at Westlake, encountering notable individuals.
Met Nas Jungle and Rihanna in the next day
Noteworthy encounters with Nas, Jungle, and Rihanna.
Chopping it with Hitboy and Karen Kwak too
Conversations with influential figures in the music industry.
Met Jeezy in a Maybach 62
Meeting Jeezy in a luxurious car.
I even wrote a song for Juicy J
Contributing to the creative process for Juicy J.
It all worked out in a funny way
Positive outcomes resulting from efforts.
All this hard work gotta mean something
Reiteration of the value of hard work.
