Success

Hook:

All this success came from nights I was stressin’,

Turned every L to a learned type lesson.

Now they see the VVS dancin’ on my necklace,

But they never saw the late nights, no breakfast.

All this success got ’em thinkin’ it was easy,

They ain’t see the breakdowns, prayin’ “God, please see me.”

If you want the throne, you gon’ bleed for it,

I done paid my dues, I don’t speak on it.

Verse 1:

Now the booking price high, they offended,

Same city that ignored me, now they send it.

I remember when the crowd was just two souls,

Engineer and my bro, that’s the crew roll.

They was laughin’ at my dreams in the group chat,

Now they tryna get a pic where the booth at.

Funny how the tables turn when you level up,

Success loud, but the grind really set it up.

Verse 2:

Mama in the front row, eyes glassed,

Say she always knew her baby boy would pass.

I remember all the times that we split meals,

Now I tell her “Pick a house, how that feel?”

This ain’t flex, this is closure, this is proof,

That the nights with no heat turned to roofs.

But success got snakes in the grass too,

Everybody say they love you, they just pass through.

Verse 3:

I gotta watch who I keep in my section,

’Cause success bring leeches and affection.

I done seen homies switch for a quick clout,

Dudes movin’ weird since the big route.

So I keep my circle tighter than a drum line,

If you wasn’t in the struggle, you don’t get shine.

You could clap from the seats, that’s your spot,

Only fam touch the pot.

Bridge:

They see the trophy, not the bruises,

They see the wins, not the loses.

If you want the crown, pay tax, no excuse,

Success is expensive truth.

## 7. “Transformation” (Hook + 3 Verses + Bridge)

Hook:

This that transformation, this that rebirth,

Had to die to my old self, leave the dirt.

Now I move like a king that escaped hurt,

Walkin’ out the portal with my feet first.

This that new wave, new face, new lane,

I ain’t runnin’ from the storm, I became rain.

Transformation turned the pain to a throne seat,

Had to lose who I was just to know me.

Verse 1:

I was stuck in the cycle, same story, different day,

Chasin’ validation while my spirit slipped away.

Tryna fit in rooms that ain’t made for my soul,

Shrinkin’ just to be there, that was gettin’ old.

Then I hit rock bottom, couldn’t fake no more,

Had to look at my reflection, what I take from folks?

Had to own all the ways that I hurt too,

Transformation start inside, not the curfew.

Verse 2:

Then I cut the noise out, sat still, listened in,

Found a better version of me livin’ from within.

Started changin’ how I talk to myself first,

Turned “you ain’t enough” to “you self-worth.”

I ain’t movin’ from trauma, I’m movin’ from peace,

Let the old me rest, let the new me breathe.

Now my posture say “king” when I walk through,

I don’t beg for a seat, I belong, dude.
