PAYNT Productions, Adam Smith and El Cid Studio - The One I Wanna Be

Started on the weed before I started to succeed
Started to succeed before I started this journey
Started this journey because I wanted to be free
Now I'm making hits, I'm the one I wanna be

First off
I don't hate my job
But do you ever feel like you don't belong?
I failed physics so it was wrong
But I thank my old man for giving me this option
School had me feeling awful
Soon as I quit work made me feel awesome
Counting stacks, fueling habits
I was the rich kid and that was a fact bitch
I still am the richest, travel the world and counting the digits
So I can provide the goods for my kids
Side hustle let me open a business
cnd it all is legit shit, gone are the days I cut up in the kitchen
Never had the strength not to touch it
So the extra cash was never gonna cut it
cnd although I aspired for a life in music I never aimed higher
Rolling in dough I purchased designer
Clothes and cars became my desire
Swag on point I felt on fire
Wanting drugs, phone up the supplier
Called me shagger, the night rider
Groovy baby, Michael Myers

Started on the weed before I started to succeed
Started to succeed before I started this journey
Started this journey because I wanted to be free
Now I'm making hits, I'm the one I wanna be
Started on the weed before I started to succeed
Started to succeed before I started this journey
Started this journey because I wanted to be free
Now I'm making hits, I'm the one I wanna be

I don't take no shrooms, sniff no lines
The ex and the acid I left behind
So fuck if a pop a pill at night
The stress of work overloads my mind
Can't smoke weed cause it scars too deep
ct least with the pills I'm on my feet
Don't hold me back I want to achieve
The family still gets all that they need
So breathe
cnd take your thoughts
Ram them up your arse because
I've came a long way from the person that I was
By the age of 22 they all seen me in a box
Perhaps was an addict but no love lost
Keep your penny I'll keep my thoughts
I'm perfects you, imperfects me
But what you hear is what you see
I set fire to the rain set fire to the pain
Started rap to break free from the chains
Some claim life is it a game, if true it's a rubix
cnd I'm stuck on the first stage
Though I grow stronger every day
I see new levels up ahead
It's slow and steady wins the race
I feel fantastic, I have faith

Started on the weed before I started to succeed
Started to succeed before I started this journey
Started this journey because I wanted to be free
Now I'm making hits, I'm the one I wanna be
Never say it's over one day the dream will be closer
Tell 'em step aside or they will all be run over
It's full steam ahead, coming through is the bulldozer
Strolling to the top! guess we'll see who is the joker
