More Than Music III

Yeah, somedays I don’t leave my room
Sometimes I feel so depressed
Put this all into my music, I’m tryna give you my best
The pressure is weighing a ton
I wanted to make you all proud
I wanted to give you an anthem
Something that you could turn loud

When everything is too much
And you don’t think that you can go another day
When you at your limit and just ‘bout to
Give in and sick of pretending that you’re okay
I know what it can be like to hurt
Telling yourself it won’t ever change
Cling to a bottle at four in the morning
Attempting to drink away all the pain

The more I grow up, I’ve been cutting size
This industry full of some fucking lies
How can I feel anything you saying
When most of your songs you don’t even write?
All of my songs are a piece of me
I’m writing down stories I’ve lived, this
This is way more than just music
See, writing these story’s the reason I lived ‘em

I’m finally alive
I used to wake up and work 9 to 5
They used to laugh at my records and all
Of my efforts until I would wanna go die
But who laughing now? This ain’t a flex
This is me humbly saying I’m blessed
This is my spilling my guts on the track
Ripping my heart that’s beating in my chest

I will not switch, always be real
I’m not controlled, want no part of your deal
Spend every day of my life in the studio
‘Cause it’s the only way I know to heal
I will not lose, stay up all night
I will not lose, say that shit twice
I’ve given everything I have to give
Pour out my story inside of a mic, for this I would die

I will not lose
I will not
Lose

It’s much more than music, man
I feel your music, I just don’t hear it, I feel it
I just listen to your music and it calms me to know
That I’m not as alone as I sometimes believe to be
Even when no one else was there for me, your music was
Your music is so relatable and I
There’s not that many artists out there that we can relate to nowadays

I can’t go a day without listening to your music
Your music captures everything I feel and puts it into words
Thanks so much for your music, from Montreal
You’ve changed the way I’ve thought
You’ve changed the way I live my life
I don’t know you, you don’t know me, but your music saved me

And I might not be the greatest artist that’s ever lived
The best rapper or best singer with platinum hits
But at least I stood for something real, and I’m proud that I did
So go ahead, tell me all of my record shit
That I won’t make it, I’ve heard it all a million times
But I keep pushing, I see the vision within these lines
A lot of days I spent losing
Guess it helped me make something much more than music

And man, it’s bro, it’s been a long, crazy ride
And I’m so glad to be a part of a team somehow
With all that being said
I appreciate everything you’re doing
And we’ll talk real soon, buddy
Take care
