Artist's Hustle
A song made by mannequinat
Yo, it's O.A 2 Arts on the mic, Elvitoneo.a13 on the beat, for Didi B and Elie, the best! Castro, we here, let's go!
I stare at the sky, wonder if I'll shine
In the dark I write, only the beat can guide me, uh
Fake smiles, learned to be wary, yeah
Even my pain, I turn into a melody
Mama told me, "Secure the future, son"
But I dream big, tryna fill these ships, no cap
Suffered too much, no turning back, it's lit
I move alone even when it all falls apart
They see the clips, they don't see the struggle
Sleepless nights, dreams turn to dust, sheesh
Put my heart in every line I write
If I give up, tell me who gon' believe in me here?
Artist's life, I hurt but I smile
Under the lights, hide my lifeless nights
They want the glory, but no one sees the price
Chasing my dreams, even if I get lost at night
Artist's life... I won't give up
Even when the world sometimes turns its back on me
Got my demons dancing with me, yeah
But I keep the faith... I keep the faith...
In this city, came here to make my mark
Haters talk, but I let 'em chatter, uh
Got the vision, can't abandon it
Even in the dark, I keep moving forward
Seen brothers fall for the money
I wanna rise without ever betraying myself
If I reach the top, it's deserved, sheesh
Gave too much to ever turn back, no cap
Artist's life, I hurt but I smile
Under the lights, hide my lifeless nights
They want the glory, but no one sees the price
Chasing my dreams, even if I get lost at night
Artist's life... I won't give up
Even when the world sometimes turns its back on me
Got my demons dancing with me, yeah
But I keep the faith... I keep the faith...
The artist's life...
It ain't a gift...
But I won't quit...
