This 1 (ft. Denitia Odigie)

Hook:
This 1’s (x2)
For my people pushing keys
Tryna get that (x2)
Get that dream that they made us see
Us see (x2)
For those who need this
This is for my people trying to make it

Verse 1:
With my back against the wall / & a ticket in my hand
I dipped up outta Brooklyn back to Texas with a plan
No looking back / I was passed it / took a minute but that shit
That happened when we was on 59th & 6th was bad but I finally understand it
Shit happens
Good thing is that I had finished the final track
Of the Jack Johnson Sessions / I killed it with that, in fact
& If it wasn’t for leaving / who knows , yo I could’ve crashed
But I didn’t / I’m sitting here flippin thru the pages of this mag
XXL & I’m looking through a list trying to cash –
In on any information that they trying to give
So I took it & submitted for a feature / had a hit
But nobody was fuckin with it / luckily it was dope
Tyler couldn’t even deny when he got ‘Time’ / we got a post
Little bit of ‘Prep Time’ & the rest of it is history
I’m just trying to get mine / get ahead & split this shit with T

Verse 2:
With an internship in the works & Tyler up on the keys
He was listening to my verses & choppin it up with Z
But finish up college first, then drop me a couple beats
& honestly I’ma have to get this money so he can see
I’ma muthafuckin MC / T, let me get that beat
See if I still got it, that product ima let them see
To me & T, this shit easy
We ain’t have shit believe me
We did this over email, we don’t hear shit you reading
So he told them he was leaving even though she ain’t know
The reasons he was leaving Minnesota for the 3rd coast
But they need em, & I know that they ain’t even no different
I know the feeling, I’ve done it too, I ain’t trippin
Im simply saying we sick of, all you suckas so this the
Type of shit that’ll get you back on your grind, if it isn’t
Get you some influence or a vision, we in this bitch you should listen
We pushing keys to get attention, this for my people get lifted…
