Packy - The Difference lyrics

Yeah, look
Lately, I went missin' with no permission
It's part of it
I been workin' harder than competition
From start of it now they lookin' at me
I see 'em all through the rearview
Kill yourself to get your spot
Then they die to be near you
They think that I made it 'cause
I made it past them
They were never the target
My target is past Em' they laugh
But they laughed too when they
Talked to me back then guess it's déjà vu
I'll be back when I lap them
Hate that I acknowledge haters
Call it a curse
I'm on a search for validation
Guess I don't know how this works
But, I'm learnin' on the job
You can never please, 'em all
I see why rappers get that money and
Then all they do is ball let 'em know
I can feel the transformation
I don't want to change but part of
Me just wants to make it
Pardon me while I vacation
Part of me wants to be famous
But what good is being known if I
Don't 'member what my name is?

Everything is changin'
I just pray it's for the better
This used to be my diary
Now it's an open letter
Hope that I can take the heat
I been used to the coldest weather
I'll do what I gotta do
The industry should know what's better

I say the real shit that you afraid to say
Then I get shit for sayin' it
I'd rather get a "Thanks"
People steady takin' shots but more and
More they feel like blanks
And all these rappers get upset my
Team is movin' up the ranks
Get your weight up, I don't wait up
I can't count the nights I stayed up
Man, sometimes this life's a bitch
But, I just hope that this bitch pays up
Used to want it, now I need it
That's the difference between
Failing and succeeding

Far as underground goes
My numbers do the talkin'
Couple hundred on the table
All I gotta do is walk in but, I won't
Really I could use the money, but I don't
Reputation all I have and that
Ain't ever worth a quote
If all I'm worried 'bout is cash
I'll be in the game for a second
I'm in the game to break records
Not in the game to take second
Where the hell is my crew at? Behind me, boy
You knew that
Soon as I get a little bit of buzz
It's like these people try to do that
Soon as we get a little bit of pub'
It's like that circle get a little tighter
Soon as we get a little bit
Of loot, those people's eyes
They get a little wider
'Bout done beggin' for green rooms
I be like "Bruce, just give him that rider"
Got your chick all on my shit while
You just stand there right beside her
Like it's cool i'm just tryna wrap my head
Around the fact that
One day I'm nobody then I'm a celeb
What's the basis? I'm in different places
Ride with me or let me be
Only gettin' better
I think I'm ready for anything

Everything is changin'
I just pray it's for the better
This used to be my diary
Now it's an open letter
Hope that I can take the heat
I been used to the coldest weather
I'll do what I gotta do
The industry should know what's better

I say the real shit that you afraid to say
Then I get shit for sayin' it
I'd rather get a "Thanks"
People steady takin' shots but more and
More they feel like blanks
And all these rappers get upset my
Team is movin' up the ranks
Get your weight up, I don't wait up
I can't count the nights I stayed up
Man, sometimes this life's a bitch
But, I just hope that this bitch pays up
Used to want it, now I need it
That's the difference between
Failing and succeeding
