[id:$00000000] [ti:Epiphany (Explicit)] [ar:Futuristic/NF] [00:01.32]Epiphany (Explicit) - Futuristic/NF [00:15.00]I had an epiphany [00:16.20]I was repeating history [00:17.53]I was doing everything I hated [00:19.09]The weight on my shoulders [00:19.94]I let it all get to me I let it all get to me [00:22.46]I had an epiphany [00:23.77]I just smiled at my enemies [00:25.52]I was listening to everybody who was talking [00:27.58]But never did **** for me yeah [00:30.02]I had an epiphany [00:31.30]I was looking at everybody else that's up in the industry [00:33.84]They ain't as sick as me they ain't as sick as me [00:37.71]I had an epiphany [00:39.04]I was seeing somebody that never had no good intentions for me [00:41.88]Now she missing me yuh now she missing me [00:45.09]Moral of the story is that nobody did it for me [00:46.68]Had to make a change nah [00:48.14]I was living in the city with no scene [00:49.20]I had a dream I had to make a lane yup yup [00:51.91]Always knew that I couldn't live off of minimum wage [00:53.64]Ripping the pay stub [00:54.53]I had a minimal taste for all the fame stuff [00:56.51]But I got into the game without a cent to my name [00:58.50]And now I'm ballin' like I'm in the NBA bruh [01:00.47]And I know I got a lot but I'm not content [01:02.31]If they ask me to stop I will not consent [01:04.30]Never gonna let nobody block cause my shot to miss [01:06.17]You can meet me at the top if you hop the fence [01:08.01]And you climb the stairs [01:09.08]And you fight the beast [01:10.09]And you lose your way [01:10.99]Then you find your peace [01:11.94]And you do it sober [01:12.86]Then you find a drink [01:13.80]Then you spiral down [01:14.75]And it all repeats [01:15.63]And I always had a vision I could get it [01:17.12]So I did it by my lonely [01:18.14]I don't owe nobody nothing never let nobody own me [01:19.90]Got some money from the music and I spend it on the homies [01:21.75]But don't put nothin' before me gave a whip to little Brody [01:23.76]And I'm only getting started [01:25.31]And I'm eating with the people that I starve with [01:27.11]And my batteries I had to recharge 'em [01:28.94]I made an album but that **** was garbage [01:30.76]Yo I was trapped in a gimmick [01:32.51]I finally get it [01:33.09]I'm here to make music that matters [01:34.90]If I die it'll all be alright [01:36.65]'Cause the message I gave you will live for me after [01:38.91]And my chapter will highlight a lifetime [01:41.19]Of energy gave through a bright mind [01:42.82]How you never had to stand on the sideline [01:44.78]How you the guide to your own guidelines [01:46.39]That's an epiphany [01:50.13]I had an epiphany yeah [01:54.14]That's an epiphany [01:57.76]I had an epiphany yeah [02:01.53]I had an epiphany [02:03.04]That I could make history [02:04.47]That I could prove everyone wrong [02:05.66]That told me I wasn't cut out for this music thing yeah [02:09.21]I had an epiphany [02:10.48]What if I took my energy [02:11.96]And used it on positive things in my life [02:13.95]Instead of the people that lie to me huh [02:16.22]Yeah I had an epiphany [02:18.10]That I could put all of my hurt into music [02:19.99]And use it for people that might feel the same as me [02:23.59]Yeah I had an epiphany [02:25.67]What if everyone knew my depression was worse than they thought [02:28.28]They probably gonna look at me differently [02:32.00]Yo this song got me going back when I was a stupid kid [02:34.25]Thinking maybe I could make it in the music biz [02:36.00]And then I figured out the politics [02:37.39]And realized that half of y'all don't even know what music is [02:39.98]And going nowhere I told 'em to get used to me [02:41.74]Feels like I'm living in a movie scene [02:43.16]A bunch of people trying to tell me how to act and breathe [02:45.11]One thing I never let nobody ever do was tell me who to be [02:47.50]I never got into the party scene [02:49.05]Maybe I was just scared to drink [02:50.51]'Cause addiction it runs in my family [02:51.98]That's someone I was scared to be [02:53.09]You're looking pitiful compared to me [02:54.43]Since I can barely read [02:55.73]All I wanted was somebody I could trust [02:57.06]That I knew would keep it real with me [02:58.52]Rap's always been a mirror for me [02:59.85]That's when I figured out that maybe I'm the one that's gotta make it [03:01.91]On my own yeah it's clear to see [03:03.34]A lot of people think that what I'm doing is a gimmick [03:05.02]Everything you hear me writing I've been living [03:06.24]I ain't quitting send the money to my family [03:07.50]Try to show them that I miss them [03:08.66]And I cherish every moment when I'm home and when I'm with them [03:10.30]And this is the way that I feel [03:11.81]In the industry of fakes trying to stay real [03:13.77]In the industry of lames trying to get deals [03:15.72]Lord knows imma get it that's meek mill [03:18.67]Yeah I lay in my bed at night thinking [03:20.63]There's got to be more to me [03:21.67]I'm trying to pay off the mortgaging [03:23.20]But the life of the people I love in the midst of it [03:25.53]I've always thought that if [03:26.61]I learn from mistakes that I'd make [03:27.92]Even the losses are victories [03:29.65]That's when it starts hitting me [03:31.07]If you set your mind to it you can do anything [03:33.25]That's an epiphany [03:37.00]That's an epiphany yeah [03:40.62]I had an epiphany [03:44.50]I had an epiphany yeah
