Cashflow Colly - 24

I want my dream more than ever
I swear that I can taste it
That's why I'm always working
Not a single night is wasted
I got the drive inside that I know
Cannot be sedated
So I'm staying on my craft
That's why they never see my face its
Hard for most to understand
But to me that's basics
I'm tryna show em all with some belief
Where you can take this
I'm tryna reach my calling
Know in time they'll see my greatness
So I'm patience like I'm stalling
While my name is on that waitlist
But
I feel this pressure in my mind
Been growing larger
Man I just turned 24
I ain't waiting around no longer
Bout to turn this up a level
And become your favorite author
Of these anthems
Feel the lane is set
Clear for my departure
Got the city on watch
They seen that I'm hot
Every single that I drop
Is like the cream of the crop
Peep it or not
I been scheming plots
Of reaching the top
And frequent spots
Where they hear me speak
And feeding me props
Older bro asked bout a post
And if I seen it or not
But I been logged off all my socials
And my screen has been locked
Easy to rot
When you staring blank at feeds of the blogs
So I keep my mental focus bought as clean as a mop
See I don't talk a lot
But on tracks I spill my guts
Only drinking on occasion
But still down to fill my cup
I got problems with my confidence
But still I will erupt
If you hand me off that microphone
I got that killers touch
And I know this battles up and down
Yessir the hill is tough
But I can guarantee no matter what this takes I will adjust
Cus I know just how to do it
And I'm passed beginners luck
I been giving y'all my heart so tell me is this real enough
I just put my two week notice in
Cus I was getting comfortable
What's funny bout that shit is that
The job felt like a muscle pull
The weight of not pursuing rap
Was heavy like I shoveled snow
Woke up every morning to a game of tug of rope
And I'll admit that I had thoughts of giving up
Cus shit that 9 to 5 is stable
And it sure hell isn't tough
And this music path is scary
Cus I hear this business rough
But I got back on my grind and recognized I had to jump
So I summoned up my strength
Traded weekly checks in the bank
For a microsoft doc that's blank
Cus I'm feeling Im at that brink
Of my larger calling to paint
And regardless what they think
Imma follow my heart and dream
Till there's nothing left in my tank
And I know
That through grit I'll carve a path on my own
But this ain't happen overnight
Some think it do but it don't
So when you see me out on stages
Serving tables for my wages
Still promoting for my plays
Just know I'm grasping to hope
Bitch I been around for 24
I can tell y'all what the truth is
There's a lot folks who walk around
With dreams and never do shit
Staying paralyzed and rooted
By that fear of being stupid
But I tell them bring it on
Shit I'm betting on my music
This is all I ever wanted
I never wanted more
So my eyes are on that prize
And on that thing I'm running towards
Not a whip
Not a chick
Not a house
It's not awards
Its just being who I be
Fully me
Fully free
At 24
