Astrodamus Video (MV)

Stay true, believe in yourself
Do what you got to do
Astro!

It all started with a dream
Trying to live a life I never thought I'd see
I learned fast shit ain't always what it seems
I'm the only one responsible for what I can achieve
I've lost friends, I've lost sleep, I've lost cheese
Shit a couple of times I lost me
I won't ever give up, I will always believe
Yeah I found my way back without missing a beat

Know I'm far away from a permanent peace
But I feel it getting closer every time that I speak
I stayed down now I'm rising like some yeast
Just that small town kid out of Conrad Weiser East
Elementary, this shit was meant for me
I never knew God but I can feel the love he's sending me
Sometimes I feel like my mind is penitentiary
But deep down I always knew that he was testing me

Yeah, and I passed with flying colors
Everybody gets lost but I'm one of the others
Said I made it through the rain baby
Tell my momma sunshine is on the way, lady
Now your little man is all grown up
I know it's heart breaking but I'll always be your son
And you will always be mine
You're the brightest shining star to ever light up my sky

And it's not even close
I'm trying to build a better life for us both
I was born in West Palm but never learned how to coast
I'm always pushing full speed I'm always doing the most
I'm trying to be rap's GOAT
I'm trying to milk this motherf*cker til the bucket overflows
It's beautiful watching my own story unfold
With every verse that I write, I feel my confidence grow

That goes double for the distance put between me and you
I ain't trying to talk shit I'm just speaking my truth
I only hope that you respect me for it
I know I'm winning but I couldn't tell you what the score is
This is everything I've worked for
You can try to hold me back but I'ma keep on moving forward
Hard work pays off, now it's heart warming
The game is mine, I'ma take this shit without warning

I'm running over anyone who tries to get in my way
This ain't no one year wonder your boy is here to stay
They told me that this shit would kill me, I ain't even phased
I already killed the old me now he's in a grave
They think I'm crazy but I know I'm brave
By the time this shit is over you will not forget my name
Astro motherf*cker I'll engrave it in your brain
No matter how hard you try you will never know my pain

I've been embracing my insanity
I'm just trying to find my way in a world consumed by vanity
Everybody's f*cked up, understandably
They feed us full of hate until we break, how can't we be
Truth is the game was built for you to lose
I'm the alarm trying to wake you up, they want you to snooze
It's up to you to make a difference, only you can choose
Where you going in this life, this information ain't new

It all comes down to whether or not you believe it
Follow through with your dreams and you just might reach them
You won't know until you try
Spread your motherf*cking wings take the leap and learn to fly
Having faith in yourself will take you further than you thought
Everything I know about rap is what experience taught
This been years in the making they been waiting on the drop
I stayed patient with the process now I'm headed for the top

My life sublime, that loving is all I got
I'm a college dropout but now I'm cream of the crop
Shout out to 'Ye and anyone who can relate
I don't need no damn degree I am the master of my fate
The menace of the years shall find that I am unafraid
Put my life on display and now the shit is yours to take
One day at a time I've got millions to make
I just hope I brighten yours by the time the song fades
