Track 1. To anyone listening...thank you. by MIC-ON-MIC Lyrics
Ayo uh look
So lemme tell you bout the night that I had thought about quitting
I was in my room just writing shit, laid back sitting
And thinking I don't wanna share these beats with other rappers and I don't wanna be the main source of someone else's laughter
In a negative manner, light my temper like banner
Cause I refuse to be another victim of society
That's why I target my moves and make them quietly
Cause I am too afraid to fucking fail
But if I go in I might as well
Go in full throttle, live my life with no regrеts
That's my motto and I find it condescending
Constantly defеnding. My name and what i stand for
But what do I stand for ? Well I guess that's 42
Universal, existential gotta tap my full potential
If I really wanna make it, promise that I will not fake it
No I ain't bout busting caps or slinging drugs in my free time
But you got me fucked up if you think that Ima be fine
With being labeled as a lesser rapper for going my own direction
Correction, I might me named after a saint but ya boy isn't so holy
Trying to change to be a better person I refuse to be the old me
That's why I just can't quit, I got others depending on me
Your baby boy isn't so little anymore mommy
I'm trying to take care of you, just like you took care of me
So don't take it personal this pen and paper are my therapy
Literally the definition of always being there for me
They tell you from a young age to go and chase your dreams
Then wanna get mad as hell, when they see you do these things
Yeah I dropped out of college, guess that move was pretty bold
But with faith in my decision I might too find the city of gold
So let's re-arrange that false statement and paint it with the words that someone else has paid with. Cause it's so easy to start but hella
Tough to finish. Thought by now it'd be over like some silly game of scrimmage, really cut me deep. Had all of my dreams diminished
But then I thought about the image and the greater glory
To this story see I don't know where I'm going but I know for a fact that I won't be boring. Shoutout David Bowie, shoutout if you don't know me but are listening anyways. Yeah I've had better days but all jokes aside. No more telling myself these lies
My life will not suffice if I choose to compromise
For anything other than this, life's too short I can't dismiss
Up my dream cause this music be my calling, so I'm making sure that
Young MIC can go all in
Cause if I can wake up then my head can stay up
And my chain stay glistening, shining on the path to anyone listening
Yea to anyone listening
*claps*
