Gravestone

Lyrics

I feel this pressure been buildin' up
 Yeah, I feel it in my bones
 I feel the weight of every choice I'm makin' when it's set in stone
 I wanna leave a mark, and show 'em that I'm comin' from the heart
 This is everything I have and I'm still chasin' down the spark
 Yeah, that hunger back when I was fifteen
 Music was my only way out and nobody did believe
 But I knew I had to show 'em, leave 'em all in disbelief
 Up until this there's no denyin' everything that I've achieved
 So I'm saying like
 I am not somebody you can plot against
 Every move you make against me, I will make the opposite
 I'll be turning all of their opinions into compliments
 Never had the confidence
 But now I steppin' up, I'm shinin' light on your incompetence
 I am not one of these rappers that in five years will not matter
 I will not leave at the chatter, I'm dictating every conversation
 This ain't an album, it's just practicing dedication
 Yeah, it's finally workin' out
 Makin' all these different sounds
 Tearin' down my heart on every page, it's time I let it out
 Used to be so scared to be this specific, but if I don't give in
 Then nobody would ever listen
 It's my fate, so I'ma take it to my grave
 What you want written on your gravestone?
 Were you great, were you fake, were you never known?
 Did you leave a legacy or did you follow every trend?
 Would you let some people hate you? Or do you try to make amends?
 What you want written on your gravestone?
 Were you great, were you fake, were you never known?
 Did you leave a legacy or did you follow every trend?
 Would you let some people hate you? Or do you try to make amends?
 Mood swings, anxiety is up and down, makes it hard to ever do things
 Cracks in my skull made me scared of my health not improving
 Death on my shoulder and it affects the way I view things
 If I die this better be the best stuff I'm producing
 So I'm filling notebooks stuffed full of songs that made me cry
 It's full of songs about my life and full of songs, I tell no lies
 Locked myself in the studio, swear that I been so exhausted
 Sometimes I wanna stop this
 But I couldn't stop if I wanted
 You know I'm just being honest
 Every time I try to take a break I just end up back on it
 I'm obsessed with droppin' everything around me just to make it right
 Give it all my time, yeah but I'm still never satisfied
 Quality over quantity, yeah that's why I barely drop
 That's the reason when I'm back again my numbers never flop
 Always work behind the scenes, you know my ethic never stop
 If I'm not pouring out my heart, I'll never drop another song
 I'm giving this everything I have to give
 My legacy ain't no lacking this
 The remedy for the sadder kids
 Eternity is how I'm tracking this
 A eulogy for all the scrutiny
 That I been under and what they assume on me
 Ain't no more truancy, I'm on the shooting spree
 Showin' the world that I'll be great, yeah
 What you want written on your gravestone?
 Were you great, were you fake, were you never known?
 Did you leave a legacy or did you follow every trend?
 Would you let some people hate you? Or do you try to make amends?
 What you want written on your gravestone?
 Were you great, were you fake, were you never known?
 Did you leave a legacy or did you follow every trend?
 Would you let some people hate you? Or do you try to make amends?
