When I Make It
Your gonna know my name, an option you don't have
It’ll be funny if you doubt me, get in my face and laugh
In a few years, you broke and upset
When I'm living lavish, acting like a threat
Don’t care if you wont listen, make money my own way
Haters still gone listen, never care about what you say
Gone have all the girls, they only want you when you make it
Met you on a plane, always loved on the fit
Only want what you can’t have, I'm on a path to glisten
Stopped getting in my feels, heard The Weeknd and listened
Really think I’m playing, it’s all about confidence
They want a 9-5, we wanna see the bands
It’s clear imma forget you, while you see me on t.v.
“Damn that’s the kid, he really knew the key”
Do what you gotta do, even if that means your cold
Life’s about taking risks, all bout feeling bold
Can never get distracted, by people who don’t care
Don’t be making “friends”, they only want you for your flare
I’m grinding hard now, writing everyday
You partying now?, your life be filled with greys
No I don’t feel bad, about the dreams that I want
It’s just your fault, I’ll be the one you haunt
