22 Freestyle

Twenty-two freestyle
We back
Yeah, yeah

Finally feel like I made it, but I'm not even close
To where I wanna be, sellin' out shows
Across the globe, meeting everybody that I know
From the internet, I'm talking, europe to chicago

But I gotta take a step back, think about the past year
Went from getting no love to helping people love fear
Writing out my thoughts and giving people my advice
And I got so many messages that say, you changed my life

Man, it's crazy how it goes down, finally in control now
Took a little while, but I got it on my own now
Yeah, I made the honor roll and lately I been on a roll
Dropping all these hits, I don't think that I could slow down

Took so many flights that I started losing count
I New York on a on the taz show, I had to shut it down
Made my first live interview, I was kinda nervous
Told 'em drop a beat and you know that it got murdered

Shit they never heard of, feeling so assertive
Risin' in the game and I got rid of all my burdens
The biggest setbacks are always hidden in disguise
It was right in front of me, I had to read between the lines

And I'm ready for the challenges, this is all a mind game
Waiting for a long time, now they been calling my name
Asking me to step up, see what I made of
Makes me thankful for the old songs I was ashamed of

My monthly pay went from five hundred to five figures
Bought my family gifts and paid for people's dinners
They deserve it just like I do, I drive and the gon' ride, too
Saw my family happy, God damn, I almost cried, too

Got my mom a TV 'cause my music in commercials
I came a long way from middle school band rehearsals
I knew this shit would happen, everything is unexpected
Shows with DJ khaled, got my boys all on the guest list

Everywhere I go they're coming with me now
Every week a different city now
People tellin' me they missed me now
It's funny 'cause they said I was too cocky

When I told 'em all this shit was gonna happen, now they lost me
Movin' on to better things, no worryin' 'bout a wedding ring
Focused on my grind, so I can never think 'bout settlin'
Down at this age, I need a crown on the stage

I been around everyway, you never found another me, damn
People asking for the secret like I'm hiding something
Really put in all the work that everybody bluffin'
Fifteen songs and seven remixes
And I still don't give a damn 'bout what the double-x l list is

Put me at at the plate, all hits, no misses
Labels reaching out, so I'ma make a couple visits now
I been out here spendin' money on the vision
Twenty-one years, and I never seen the competition
Damn
