Abstract - Picking Up Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, alright

[Verse 1]
Yeah, we out here, rappin' for the love of it
Love of it, ya feel it when I spit and go and take a hit
'Cause we was made for this
I need the lights, camera, action, bitch
Livin' for the moment, only did it all without a script
Didn't get no cosigns while I was spittin' dope rhymes
Calls to my conscious, son, I'm usin' up my lifelines
Kids comin' up in my town, now they all recordin' now
To claim that they been in it longer, that's some shit I won't allow
Contemplated suicide, for me this shit was do-or-die
Y'all started for fun, I started rappin' just to stay alive
When the heart inside me died, the love I had was crucified
Had to find another place where my emotions could lie
So I went straight to the paper
Told the old life I lived, "Take a life, and see you later"
Thank you music, you have been my savior

[Chorus]
Started with the pain, quickly turned to everything
The life I'm livin' now compared to last, it just don't feel the same
I won't complain, y'all all really love the change
Now these people bump my music who don't know my real name (my real name)
And that's a crazy feelin'
Friends say, "Stay humble," but I don't know how I'm dealin' (I'm dealin')
I can't lie, I want it all
When a chance gives me a ring, yo, I'm pickin' up the call (call)
[Verse 2]
I've picked up the pen, dropped all my negative friends
'Cause when it came to lookin' at my dreams, we had a different lense
Eliminate, I levitate, considerin' the person in the end
Yo, it all depends
Me, I'm movitated by the positivity, so I moved out of my circle
Found the circle that surroundin' me
Those who all believed that I could truly reach
The only thing I see when I'm deepest in my sleep
Yeah, but we still so small, workin' till the day that they say every word we lay is quotable
Yeah, and that's legendary
My dreams' so big that most these people 'round me find them scary
Thinkin' I ain't serious, but I ain't no Jimmy Carrey
Tryna show the world that the future is ours
They tryna shoot me down while I'm shootin' for the stars
Find me some day just a little past Mars

[Chorus]
Started with the pain, quickly turned to everything
The life I'm livin' now compared to last, it just don't feel the same
I won't complain, y'all all really love the change
Now these people bump my music who don't know my real name (my real name)
And that's a crazy feelin'
Friends say, "Stay humble," but I don't know how I'm dealin' (I'm dealin')
I can't lie, I want it all
When a chance gives me a ring, yo, I'm pickin' up the call
[Outro]
Started with the pain, quickly turned to everything
The life I'm livin' now compared to last, it just don't feel the same
I won't complain, y'all all really love the change
Now these people bump my music who don't know my real name
My real name, my real name
When a chance gives me a ring, yo, I'm pickin' up the call
