Ratthew - Intro Lyrics

I've been searching day after day
Trying to find a reason trying to find my way
Everyday I say it'll come tomorrow
They'd rather listen to me and my sorrow
I know I know I've been here way too long
I know I know I try to leave but something feels wrong
What did it take to get me to where I am
What did it take to show me that I am a man
Every time I try to rhyme they tell me no no
They say everything I do it's just for the show though
I gotta say that may appear to be true
But I'm working my days and my nights
Yeah I'm doing it for you
My stories they go untold
I don't want to hold on to them until I grow old
Over time I've grown a little bold
Don't play with my heart it's grown so cold
I've be writing everyday since I can remember
Tried to show ya'll that last September
But no one listened
First EP only 200 listens
Used to get thousands
What did I do different
I sold my soul to those streaming apps
Spent days and nights trying to promote my raps
Until I realized I seemed desperate
Won't go no where if I'm not respected
So I took some time to find myself
Why do I make it
Does it help my mental health
Over time the answer seemed to be true
Well it's worked for me it might work for you
But that's only when you tell the truth
If you don't what's the point working in the booth
Second EP thousands of streams
Maybe the people were hearing my dreams
A couple good playlist placements
The best way to hear the music
I mean let's face it
But now here I am
Slowly becoming a man
My journey just began
I'm trying to make sure it doesn't end
