Honestly by That Kid Roy Lyrics
[Intro]
I guess I just got some things on my mind
You know...
[Verse]
I got a lot of people doubtin' me
Sittin’ in the back, sayin’ nothin’, waitin’ 'round to see
If i’m gonna win or let this music here devour me
Either way it goes, though, I know my momma’s proud of me
I swear that’s all the matters honestly
Laughin' at my failure like its nothin’ but some comedy
Shapin’ up my future like it’s nothin’ but geometry
I care about the quality, don’t care about the quantity
See, I just wanna get it right
That’s why I'm puttin’ work in every day and every night
That’s why I care so much about the lyrics that I write
I know the payoff’s comin', all my thoughts are takin' flight
But see, I know it’s not my time yet
Journey’s barely started, I ain’t even in my prime yet
I'm lookin’ at the top but I ain’t even start the climb yet
I'm thinkin’ 'bout a bag when I've barely made a dime yet
I don’t let those things bother me
There’s people making millions but their minds are stuck in poverty
I know I’m gonna win if I just go and do this properly
You gotta buy a ticket if you wanna win the lottery
I live my life with no regret
Where I'm gonna end up, I don’t even know it yet
It's like the bottom of the ninth, but the game ain’t over yet
Everything I want is what I'm 'bout to go and get
I see my dreams clearly, I'm about to go and chase them
Starin' at my fears, I'm about to go and face them
People from the past, man, I wish I could erase them
The competition's runnin', I'm about to outpace them
This ain't a sprint, this is a marathon
Say I won't win, I just drown it out and carry on
Dodgin’ all these punches like I'm dancin' in an octagon
I'm always lookin’ up, the top is what I keep my eyes upon
That’s why I’m walking with my head up
Didn’t like the way my life was going, I was fed up
Knew I could do better, it was time for me to step up
Now I'm pushin' forward, I ain't ever gonna let up
Nah, I won't stop until it’s all mine
Haven’t felt this way about a purpose in a long time
Lot of people sayin’ they’re the next great of all time
But they don’t wanna wait for it, trust me it’s a long line
But see, I know that this’ll pay off
I mean it when I say that I don’t ever take a day off
Goin' hard from preseason all the way through playoffs
Doin' what I gotta do til music’s what I'm paid off
But that's the cost of opportunity
Missin' out on parties when I’m chasin' cars and jewelry
They don’t understand this, I'm always under scrutiny
I know that this is me though, I see my future lucidly
I guess it’s time for me to move on
I’ve been sittin' 'round and watchin' others move for too long
Ain't no stopping me now, the force inside is too strong
Of course I’ve got some people that I’d love to go and prove wrong
Like all the ones doubtin' me
Sittin’ in the back, sayin’ nothin’, waitin’ 'round to see
If I'm gonna win or let this music here devour me
Either way it goes, though, I know my momma’s proud of me
[Outro]
I know my momma’s proud of me
That's all that matters honestly
That's all that matters honestly
That's all that matters honestly
I guess I just got some things on my mind
You know...
[Verse]
I got a lot of people doubtin' me
Sittin’ in the back, sayin’ nothin’, waitin’ 'round to see
If i’m gonna win or let this music here devour me
Either way it goes, though, I know my momma’s proud of me
I swear that’s all the matters honestly
