Lyrics
Write it out
Expressing the need to write thoughts down.
That's the only way I get out what I'm thinkin' bout
Writing is the outlet for expressing thoughts.
Then I put it to music proceed to speak it loud
Transforming written thoughts into music to speak loudly.
Used to hate on me, how they like me now?
Reflecting on past haters and questioning their perception now.
Man I knew I was different since I was just a child
Feeling different since childhood.
We ain't have a lotta money
Background of financial struggle.
Couldn't keep a house
Instability in housing.
Always movin' around
Frequent moves and leaving towns.
We pack up leavin' town
Desire for consistency.
All I wanted was consistency, but now I got it
Attaining desired consistency but questioning its value.
It ain't really what I thought it would be
Reality not meeting expectations.
Why'd I want it?
Reflecting on the desire for consistency.
Lil studio apartment
Living in a small apartment while pursuing artistry.
Tryna make it as an artist
Struggling and questioning success as an artist.
Man, I question when I'll ever make it
Uncertainty about achieving success.
The road is the hardest when it's uncharted
Challenges are tougher when the path is unknown.
You know a lotta times in life, there's no blueprint
Life lacks a blueprint at times.
That's when you write your own
Encouragement to create one's own path.
(Aye) (Aye)
Expression of determination (Aye).
Imma make it out
Repeated affirmation of making it out and finding it marvelous.
(Aye) (Aye)

-I think it's marvelous
-Just played my dad a single, he said it's a hit
Positive feedback from family and girlfriend.
I played it for my mom, she said I'll make it big
-I showed it to my girl, she said it's a win
-I don't doubt I woulda gave up if it weren't for them
Gratitude for the support of family and determination.
Backin' me up
Continued persistence despite challenges.
That's why I gotta persist
-I ain't had me enough
-I'll write 'till I break a wrist
Commitment to writing despite physical strain.
All the poverty sucks
Disapproval of living in poverty.
It ain't how we 'sposta live
Working but lacking fulfillment.
Yeah I got me a job
Employment as a means to an end.
But it's a means to an end
-Feel no purpose in this circus, it's so worthless to me
Struggling with the purpose in a challenging environment.
Continue workin' I keep learning
-Type of person, man it's urgent
-Yeah I'm certain to be
-Who I said I was gon' be
Commitment to becoming who was intended to be.
But this road is the hardest
Reiterating the difficulty of an uncharted path.
When it's uncharted
-You know it ain't easy to be the first in your family
Overcoming societal and familial challenges to make a positive change.
Or your community
-To break chains
-But that's the only way we make change
-(Aye) (Aye)
Repetition of determination and finding it marvelous.
Imma make it out
-(Aye) (Aye)
-I been prayin' hard
-(Aye) (Aye)
-I ain't switchin' routes
-(Aye) (Aye)
-I think it's marvelous

-I been prayin' hard
-(Aye!) (Aye!)
-I ain't switchin' routes
-(Aye!) (Aye!)
-I think it's marvelous
-No matter what they say I ain't never gon' change
Declaration of staying true to oneself despite external opinions.
No matter what they say I ain't goin' through a phase
-No matter what they say yeah I'm really here to stay
-No matter what they say, no matter what they say
-No matter what they say I ain't never gon' change
-No matter what they say I ain't goin' through a phase
-No matter what they say, yeah I'm really here to stay
-No matter what they say, yeah
