Famous

[Hook]
How can you tell when you made it?
Is the only way to make it to be famous?
You can ask a thousand people what success is
Then you'll find out it's all subjective

[Verse]
I say "I can't wait to make it", my mama say I already did
Cause I'm inspirin' people and takin' care of my kids
Don't get me wrong I think its dope they lookin' up to me
But if I'm bein' honest I ain't close to where I wanna be
I always seen myself sellin' millions
But that matter less and less long as my fed my children
They love my music how I'm givin' y'all my raw feelings
And I'ma keep on killing
As my grandma would say, Lord's willing
I used to think I had to make it on the radio
But I'm good cause I know that people play me on the daily though
I got strangers who reach out to me just to say I'm dope
Saying how these songs I made and wrote gave 'em hope
And for that I'm more grateful than y'all could ever know
Y'all make me feel like I made it if I don't ever blow
And I understand why some would say I'm underrated
But my city make me feel like a legend though
Life is crazy, I used to dream about becomin' a father
Sometimes I can't believe that now I got a son and a daughter
There was times I used to be unsure of what I could offer
Cause I'm a strugglin' artist but I'ma love 'em regardless
So I just started hustlin' harder
And layin' low like I was duckin' a couple of charges
Goin' after these goals like platinum and gold
But if I never see it is it worth the path that I chose?
What if I get it and I'm still not happy with those?
Some famous people wishin' that they never happened to blow
I just wanna prove wrong everyone who doubted me
If I never get rich, would you still be proud of me?

How can you tell when you made it?
Is the only way to make it to be famous?
You can ask a million people what success is
Then you'll find out it's all subjective

[Verse 2]
Cause we got so many heroes that are unsung
Some are right near you where you come from
You shouldn't have to be on television just to get your recognition
Give 'em they flowers while they still here
While they can still see you, while they can still hear
Long as you eatin' you don't need no fancy silverware
Feelin' pressure from the diamonds and the gear they wear
You can be successful without being a millionaire
Or havin' a million followers, a million views
All that matter is that you bein' the realest you
And never bein' phony
My people told me they proud so I don't need a trophy
I'm a different type of beast homie, rest in peace Kobe
Doing what I love, and do it for the love
Y'all just do it just because
I feel it runnin' through my vein, music in my blood
It's my passion so I'd be a fool to give it up
Yeah
