Verse 1 When I told them I wanted to rap They told me to forget it and get another career path Because there was no way I could make a hit track But I started this and I havent looked back Now Im dreaming out loud, my heads in the clouds Getting love from everyone in these crowds Performing For The Win, the first track I felt proud Now Im giving my family everything I vowed to give back Give my family everything I vowed to give back Pay back every dollar my parents spent on me Give my brothers and sisters lives they deserve And repair every last nerve that I damaged But Imma do this for me Because I told myself Id live out my dream Sit on top of the world, just me and my team They day I can walk up to a thousand people with the mic and just scream Hook X2 One is to make sure my familys straight Straight Two is to make the music I know will be great Great Three is for the worldwide shows Four is to show the whole world just where Ill go Verse 2 They told me I wouldnt make it, they told me I wouldnt break it They told me this game would tear me apart and strip me naked And anyone who gave me props was just faking it Told me dont put my heart out there because theyll just take it But look at me now Im five mixtapes in and people from all around are showing me love for my sound My fan base is still small but they all loyal Getting love from the kids I grew up with in Shelburne and New Lowell Now Im off in college and Im doing great things Learning about music so me and my label can sign kings Making music in a real booth in a real studio Dreaming of the day Ill be here making music with my heroes Shoutout to Mac Miller and MGK for my inspiration I cant wait for that day I hear my song on a radio station Staring at the steering wheel knowing that sensation Knowing I did this because I had the dedication, what up? Hook X2 Bridge X2 Now Im here, above it all Standing tall, not afraid to fall Because I know that when Im gone I wont lose it all Because I know that when Im gone theyll still be singing this song Verse 3 Im a man of my word so one day Imma buy my Mom a new house My Dad his dream car and Jerry a beautiful Harley So that they can see what Ive accomplished and be proud of me Because when Im up at the top theyre the ones who supported me Even if I go from the top to the bottom Ill know Ill have released enough material for a greatest hits album So when this life is over and I look back on it all Ill be proud enough to say I was high enough to fall Hook X6
