Treat Coastal - The Tale of Treat Lyrics

Let me tell you a lil story about a kid
With a dream real big
And he never thought he wasn't gonna make it
But the dream far fetched and he didn't fit it
So everyone around him started hating
But he payed no mind
He was different inside
He could really give a fuck bout what they sayin
But he focused on his music and he focused on his craft
He wanted him to be the one everyone playin
I was only 13
With a dream
To be on big screens
I never thought it really come true
When I turned 14
Started work like a machine
I had to be better than people that I never knew
Ya the competition crazy but that's why I fell in love
My competitive nature had me wanting to rise above
Ya I knew I had to work their was no shortcuts
And even if their was I probably wouldn't budge
That's just who I am
And that should say a lot
I know it's cliche but I'm coming for the top
And I'm never gonna stop till the day that I drop
Even if I pop imma stay in my shop
Cuz Im in love with the music
Love with the process
Love with the journey
And I love all my losses
Learn from the failure
Nobody is flawless
Keep working hard
You gone make it
That's a promise
But it's not easy
And some of you out there I know really don't believe me
Well
Life ain't what it is on tv
And I could teach you different
But you'd have to come and see me
But it's hard to find that boy
That was playing with his toys
With no intention
Of growing up
Cuz He was just a boy
Tryna make some noise
No idea that he one day he would blow up
He threw the script in the flames
For the rest of his days
Said that he would go off by his own rules
Since then his ideas in the brain
They haven't been the same
Who he never had to thank was school
I was only 15
With a dream
I knew I had to scheme
And outwork everyone around me
When I turned 16
I Started
Noticing a theme
Had a realization in my new Audi
That the lyrics of today
Man they all sound the same
Thank god that my parents set boundaries
I Try and make the things that I say
From the caves of my brain
Different from everyone that surround me
Everybody got they own plan
No one sees life the same
And some will just never understand
Why we from the same land
But not everyone is subbed into the game
Life's not fair
But tell me what really is
As a little kid
I woke up and watched Phineas
That's why I'm so creative
Like a hammer to a native
Out of town chicks
Tryna know where my city is
I don't tell em shit tho
CLT the busiest
Life's the biggest journey
Imma treat it like Odysseus
Let me represent all the white boys tryna make some rap fame
Started rhyming then it was immediately lame
I know culture different but it shouldn't be a shame
The system is divided but we really all the same
Why a racist white old head steering this ship
Man I got a lot of questions
Man I'm too young to vote
Don't believe in the pope cause if so there'd be no rigged elections
But back to the story where it get purgatory
And this shit end so abruptly
Cuz we one in the same all playing in the game
But we hate each other because of a country
Just like a vinyl our existence was a cycle
Now it's homicidal I'm not talking bout no rifle
Nowhere in the Bible did it mention our denial
No number you can dial no more shit you can recycle
We're coming up fast to the point of no revival
Where green paper is more important
Than our survival

Let me tell you a lil story about a kid
With a dream real big
And he never thought he wasn't gonna make it
But the dream far fetched and he didn't fit it
So everyone around him started hating
But he payed no mind

But he focused on his music and he focused on his craft
