Ten thousand hours gone I ain't even close
In the right direction but I feel that there's still room for growth
Spilled blood, sweat and tears then the pressure showed
That I was a diamond from the dirt out in Sierra Leone
Out of touch lately ain't been picking up the phone
Sorry in advance but I need to spend some time alone
When you're building a foundation have to take it slow
Put my heart in every sentence I don't fit the mold
Created player think it's time for me set the tone
Only share my pain on wax because it's all I know
Stop thinking local niggas gotta take it on the road
If it's real then they'll relate and feel it in the soul
If you told you that I love you then don't let me go
If you work a 9-5 stay professional
If you live above the law I hope you make it home
Get your rocks off but just remember those are stepping stones
