Album: Mansion (2015)

Notepad

You and I - we've been through a lot together. And I look back and I just uh, I appreciate all the times that we had together, you know? I remember just going down in my room and, you know down, and trying to deal with some things and you have always been there for that. Always, it's me and you

You and I been best friends ever since I was a young kid
Everything we did, where has time went?
Got a lot of years coming up ahead of us and ever since we met
I knew we'd get somewhere
But the fact is I ain't really, I ain't really know where
I don't really know how we'd do
But I can feel the goosebumps my skin, writin'
I've been waiting for the moment
You and I gon' make it happen
Lot of people thinking we ain't gon' make it rapping
I ain't got a problem with 'em though that don't even matter
We ain't looking for the people tryna say that we the baddest
No never like that
Came a long way never did it for the money
We ever make it big, I'm a give it to the family
Looking back now everything is lookin' funny
You and I in the room writing
Up late when the mood strikes us
We don't care if they do like us
Writing song for the haters we ain't even got yet
Free-styling somebody turn the mic up
Talking bout things we don't really understand
Talking bout things we don't really comprehend
Me and you tryna get it we ain't quitting 'til the end
Now I'm standing on stage tryna give it to the fans
Ahh!

"We took that karaoke machine from my room
And ah, we, you... We put it up to my CD player and played instrumentals
Man... We've come a long way, A long way"

I made a lot of mistakes
You've been there for the whole thing
Help me with the drama
Rapping in the car outside daily
We don't care if it's the winter
We don't care if it's the summer
I remember writing raps with the curse words
I just wanna hear it, seems like everybody does it
Did it for awhile wasn't into all the cussin'
Trying to find who I was
Being everything I wasn't
Real life Yeah!
Gotta lot of anger
You know when I'm mad
Put it all over the pages
And wrote into raps,
Said that we could be amazing
If I gave us a chance
Now I'm lookin round like, "yeah, look at where we at"
Look at where we at now we ain't made it yet
But they can hear us in the background comin
Some are gonna hate it, some are gonna love it
I'm gonna put it in his hands and let God do the judgin, yeah
Remember me and you always had you in the backpack
Took you into school
Writing on you like it's not a lot of people in the room
See me scribble on the page but they ain't got a clue
Nah they ain't got a clue,
We're here to begin it hoping someday you and I can say
We made it and we did it
You ain't nuthin but a notepad to me, Who you kiddin?
I'm just runnin out of space I'll be back in a minute
Turn the page homie

You know what's crazy is, this just started as something that was an escape for us, you know, and now I look around and, there's a lot of people going through the same things that we've been through. Now this music we write is actually making an impact it's crazy
