Letra
I think it's time I told my, yeah I think it's... I think it's time I told my story, not so many know it No I ain't come from the gutter man, nothing heroic When I was signed I was seventeen, but way before it Was just a kid with so many dreams of world touring But Epic Records, damn they ain't no joke I showed the world my X Factor when I was just fourteen That lil youngin' trying to get it, you know what I mean And like my brother Bobby say "Tryna bust on the scene" I gotta thank L.A. Reid, JT, L-O-G-I-C For everything you seen in a younger me But there's a different reason that I'm thanking you all Some of y'all was in the right, some in the wrong L.A. Reid, L.A. Reid, why you even signed me When you had no intention to put the label up behind me Maybe it was trust, maybe it was timing Or finding myself as an artist instead of what you designed for me Remember all the times you almost put me out? Four or five times at the finish line Talkin' bout "Look he ain't a star, I can tell when he walk And he don't suck the air out the room every time that he talk" Damn, yeah, that sh*t was personal Ain't nothing to do with my talent or my versatility Or my ability to make music that every single person in this world needs The f**k do you know? No disrespect, I take it back You made a lot of stars who they are but you don't talk about the ones you passed Chris Brown, Gaga, even passed on Mr. West And J.L. 'bout to be on top of that list But I ain't coming for your neck like that I'm still grateful and you know I got respect like that You gave me music education and I just might add That getting dropped from Epic Records was the best lesson I ever had It made me greater than I ever was or ever been Up in my bedroom cooking records til I couldn't stand It's all love, it's all love, now watch me ascend And if I see you, swear to God I'm gonna shake your hand Yeah, ooh, ooh So this how we gon' be Yeah, uh, yeah, uh-huh, wait Just little John, working so hard to be an idol Trying to be just like Justin and Michael Memorizing every note for piano recital Teacher would yell at me, telling me I should read my notes Uh-huh, yeah, I should read my notes I remember meeting JT way back in my hometown show, was seventeen In 2013 you was on tour, before you went on you said to me "You good boy, you good I heard you when you sing You good boy, you good They tell you not to dance You should boy, you should You good boy, you good" I told him "You're my living idol and I know that it gon' come with the grind though Hundred percent in my mind though How you be hitting them high notes when you still be dancing on Time though Haven't missed a beat, I can't find one Never could believe how you glide on 'em, wait (wait) We talked about you producing my album man From the executive standpoint we never got the chance 'Cause plans fell through, my deal fell too To be honest the only reason they kept me on was 'cause of you 'Cause you're the validation they needed Thought I was nothing on my own but with you they believed it But even you started to tell me that at some point you need to be the baddest motherf**ker in the room, don't conceal it, yeah Boy, where your confidence at? You walk up in this room thinking you belong in the back You think I got to where I am without me leading the pack? You got more talent in your middle finger than the rest of these cats Why it don't make sense, no it don't make sense How you be walking 'round acting all tongue twisted 'Cause they don't listen, treat you like a little kid But half of it's your fault, you put up with that sh*t, I wouldn't I shouldn't, you right man, I shouldn't Why am I focusing on the past back when I couldn't Get out of my own head, so scared what people gonna think Thank you brother for your honest opinion I ain't seen you in a minute but I know you been winning Heard you missed a few shows, homie get well soon And if you ever need a friend I'll be there for you too I'm out (And if you ever need a friend I'll be there for you too) I'm out The biggest thank you of all, Sir Robert Bryson Hall If you had never called, don't know where I'd have gone You passed me the baton, showing me the greatness While all my dreams had already burned down in flames and My parents told me I should go to college "You're not that far behind, we can start you in the fall time And get you a degree, it's gon' be alright We're so tired of seeing you cry, it's gon' be alright" Yeah, I always had the perseverance Since I was a kid man, I knew that I was fearless But it's the first time that somebody broke my spirit Screaming at the top of my lungs, but no one hear it, except you The older brother that I never had The only voice of hope when I thought everything was bad The only one who told me "You can beat this, you can do this, pull through this f**k anybody and everybody who said you can't Now look around, you got the whole world singing like This is the moment I've been waiting for my whole life Yeah, I always knew that you would make it when the time's right Damn, "I used to wonder what it feel like" Love you, Bobby
