lyrics

I got a good feeling about this one
Shoulda hopped on this rap/hip-hop train from the get-go
Shoulda had more confidence than I did before
But I'm just getting started, now it's time to walk through the next door
I need to build my own self critically
To start accepting who I am and not who I pretend to be
Cause honestly, I'm not even tryna make it as a rapper
I'm a rockstar but it wouldn't be so bad to fall back on after

Keep your held high and make the best of it
Just keep your glass half full, don't be a pessimist
Just several things I tell myself into a dirty mirror
Say my name three times in the dark just to see it clearer
Ain't where I wanna be but still they wanna talk about it
I feel like Eminem cause it feels so empty without me
And I got the type of attitude you probably couldn't afford
I'm polished, shining brighter than the stars I'm reaching for

I never would have seen myself here
Cause this road is long and this life is shorter
So whatchu making of it?
I'm a late bloomer
You die or you gon grow

Hold up, yeah still gotta good feeling about this one
How many years does it take before I stop feeling this young?
Cause momma told me black don't crack, be real don't act
Got a lot of people in my ear but I won't look back
Cause I got way too much in front of me
Been going so hard, I forgot about people who make fun of me
How dumb of me
My old girl probably wish she wasn't done with me
And all my new friends don't exist, only day one's with me
Y'all wish y'all had this fun with me

Pressure, yes sir, I feel it rise inside
You can't catch up, fess up, yeah you wanna subside
But I just use all compulsion and turn it to motivation
You gotta use self implosion to change up your situation, just know
It's time to show off my stripes, display my true colors, I'm in this for life
Nightmares got smaller, dreams doubled in size
Get eaten alive or the will to survive
So if you feeling what I'm saying, then come along for the ride, let's go

I never would have seen myself here
Cause this road is long and this life is shorter
So whatchu making of it?
I'm a late bloomer
You die or you gon grow

Life is what you want it to be
The only thing that's stopping me is me
I'm pushing myself to every limit, always taking life minute by minute
Success ain't easy
Cause this road is long and this life is shorter
I wanna make a change, gonna make the world stir
There's a dream I'm chasing, I'm trying to keep up and this life is racing
Only looking up cause that's where I'm gonna go
I'm a late bloomer, all I do is grow
