All I Have
Ofln - NF Lyrics

All I ever wanted was somebody to hear me
I've always wanted someone to listen to what I have to say

And all I ever wanted was somebody to feel me
I've always wanted someone to understand and empathize with me

And everybody wanna tell me that I'm out of my head
People always think I'm crazy or unrealistic

When I'm on the mic that's fine but that don't scare me
I feel comfortable expressing myself through music

It's been a long time but I'm back now
I may have taken a break from music but now I'm back

Rap pow welcome to the rap house
I'm reintroducing myself and my music to the world

Rap pow will live till I pass out blackout blackout
I'll continue making music until the day I die

Everybody keep on wondering if I still rap now
People doubt whether I still have what it takes to make music

Are you serious, anybody out there hearing this?
I'm questioning whether anyone is actually listening to my music

Yo I came in the game as a lyricist
I started making music as a writer and focus on my lyrics

And I'ma leave like that, period
I plan to continue making music as a lyricist until the end of my career

You sniff lines, I write lines, you've now entered in my mind
I write lyrics and express my thoughts and emotions through music, while others turn to drugs as an escape

And you better get ready cause you might find
Be prepared to hear my raw and unfiltered thoughts and emotions in my music

I'm from a different place and my kind
I come from a unique background and have my own style of making music

It's a little bit different than yours is
My approach to music is distinct from what's currently popular

Quit snoring hip hop isn't dead
Don't sleep on rap music, it's still very much alive

It's just been in mourning from the moment I quit recording
Hip hop hasn't been the same since I took a break from making music

Quick, record this
Make sure you remember what I'm about to say

Listen I'm warming up and you're misinformed if
I'm just getting started and anyone who doubts me is mistaken

You think that I'm slipping up, this ain't sick enough, then I'll skip the chorus
If you don't think my music is good enough, I'll skip the catchy parts and focus on my rapping

I've been here ain't nobody heard of me?
I've been making music for a while, why hasn't anyone paid attention to me yet?

Yeah I'ma turn this beat to a murder scene
I'm gonna kill this song with my rapping

I don't live for the world
I don't care about fame or fortune

I live for the King, I live for the King, focus
I make music to glorify God, that's my main focus

Wrote this with emotion
I put my heart and soul into writing this song

It's hard to get a break when the door's ain't open
It's difficult to succeed in the music industry when you don't have connections or opportunities

It's hard to get a shot when the gun ain't loaded
It's difficult to succeed in music when you don't have the necessary resources or support

And it's hard to make a living when nobody wanna notice. Hold it
It's hard to make a career in music without people paying attention to your work

What am I insane maybe, plain crazy
I might seem crazy for pursuing a career in music, but it's what I love

You put me in a room with a mic you will not restrain me
I feel free and alive when I'm in front of a microphone

You do what you wanted but you can't contain me
You might try to control me but you can't stop me from making music

Lazy is not a character trait of mine, don't wait in line
I'm not lazy, I work hard to achieve my goals and won't wait for others to give me opportunities

This is the current condition of my state of mind
This is how I'm feeling and thinking right now, this is where I'm at mentally

This is all I have all I have
This is everything that I have to offer through my music

All I ever wanted was somebody to get this
I want someone to understand and appreciate my music

All I ever wanted was somebody to play this
I want someone to listen to my music and enjoy it

Take my song, put it on their playlist and get goosebumps every time they play it, rate us
I hope people add my music to their playlists and get emotional every time they listen to it

If that's my calling or not Father, maybe I should just not bother
I'm questioning whether pursuing a career in music is what God wants for me

Go back to that nine to five but I am not a quitter so quit that
I could give up on my music dream and go back to a regular job, but I won't quit trying to make it in music

I never been a killer but I guarantee I kill tracks
I'm not violent, but I'm confident in my ability to make great music

Put them in a coffin, lost in, rip that
I make music that's so good it buries other artists and makes them irrelevant

Trying to make an impact in rap, is that insane?
Making an impact in music is difficult, but it's worth the effort

Well, I guess so Rap though, better give me that pencil
I acknowledge that making an impact in music is challenging, but I'm up for the task

And you ain't ever gonna make it, it's all mental
People might doubt my ability to succeed in music, but it's all in my mindset

I am in a place where I can't let go ah!
I'm in a place where I can't give up on my music dreams

I still work a job and do this
I work a regular job and make music on the side

And y'all know what's stupid?
You know what's ridiculous?

I thought all you had to do was get a record deal and yo things start moving
I used to think that getting a record deal was all I needed to succeed in music

But that's not the case because most of the times the artists you hear
In reality, many successful artists have been making music for years before anyone noticed them

You keep on thinking that artist is new but that artist has probably been at it for years
Don't be fooled by new artists, many of them have been honing their craft for years before getting noticed

Yeah, in the back of my mind thinking
I sometimes doubt myself and my ability to succeed in music

Am I wasting my time dreaming
Am I wasting my time pursuing a music career?

And I ain't got no money in my wallet but
I don't have a lot of money

I guarantee there ain't no way that I am gonna leave this
I won't give up on my music dreams, no matter what

I need this I swear to y'all I need this
I need music in my life, it's what keeps me going

And this hip-hop's in my veins if you cut me I'ma bleed it
Music is a part of me, it runs through my veins and makes up who I am

And yo. What you think I write write raps for no reason, no
I don't make music for no reason, I have a purpose and a message in my lyrics

Take my pain and I put em in a song ever since them pills they took my mom
I use my personal struggles and experiences to make music, especially after losing my mother to drugs

I've been a different person, don't try to predict my verses
After going through personal struggles, I've transformed as a person and my lyrics reflect that

What you're hearing now is me whether I'm in front or behind that curtain
My music is an honest reflection of who I am, whether I'm performing live or behind the scenes

I stand behind these words I'm a Christian but I'm not perfect
I'm a Christian and my faith influences my music, but I'm not perfect and make mistakes

Don't tell me to calm down I'm calm now, listen I'm just working
I'm focused and working hard on my music, so don't try to bring me down or tell me to calm down

Yeah it might take a minute to get it but once you get it everything will be crystal clear
My music might take some time to understand, but once you get it, everything will make sense

I don't think they see my vision here I don't think they see my vision here!
I don't think people understand my music and vision for what it truly is
