Lyrics Breakdowns and Breakthroughs - The Medic!

Think about that lifestyle
It's not about the amount it pays
Right now at an early stage, getting hyped off a thousand plays
But I embrace it through ups and downs
Honestly, it just goes this way
Cuz if you don't push through it all
You ain't ever gonna see the day!
Speaking up at these arenas
Clear vision cuz I can see it
Been with TJ steady scheming
On the scene, already creeping
Day one I made an agreement
To myself that I'd prevail
Breakdowns and Breakthroughs
I don't really know if you can tell
Cloudy thoughts mixed with emotions
This the reason I can't sleep
Stress level at a big peak
To the point that I can't speak
Only way is to rap about it, got my head all wrapped around it
Can't keep dealing with these voices
Someone save me please, I'm surrounded

Certain people I wanted here
See em' all start to fade soon
This life comes with a cost, and I still gotta pay dues
Blurry vision fading in and out
Feel like I should take two
This is what you signed up for, with breakdowns there's breakthroughs

Puffing on that dozier (Dozier)
Everyday getting closer (Closer)
A year ago I was getting booked!
Thank God that's it's over (Over)
Turned around every direction
Used to always see doors shut
The long road is the most rewarding
Never taking no shortcuts
When it comes to songs, I dropped two this week
Writing this as I'm losing sleep
Grateful cuz I got the crew, real ones that I choose to keep
Fake ones just come and go, knockoffs that I see through
Wasn't messing with the meal plan, now you know we gon' eat foo'!
Elevate, we bust our asses
I can see it, sunny Calabasas
At the crib, raising our glasses
Middle finger if you had doubts
Staying up till' I pass out, all my homies gon' cash out
Thinking back to like zero fans, appreciate what I have now
On the bus bumping B.I.G, same dream since thirteen
Tryna figure what I really want like "what does life on Earth mean?"
Made my mind, no plan B
So I'mma eat the frickin' dirt G
If it means that in the end I don't gotta live my worst dreams

Certain people I wanted here
See em' all start to fade soon
This life comes with a cost, and I still gotta pay dues
Blurry vision fading in and out
Feel like I should take two
This is what you signed up for, with breakdowns there's breakthroughs
