Lyrics:
Like where do I start
I done said that I don’t past tense
But for the one time lemme think back to the past
When life was calm but the pees weren’t large
But I had to get through it and go (and go)
It was me with the work and the phone (and the phone)
Montel can’t fold so I can’t be frozen
Know that I’m letting it go
Letting it rip all holds barred
019 it was smiles and laughs
With the guys didn’t care about tasks
All we knew was the ball and the bars
But we knew it was near to the end
So all of the fun can go so far
Lucky for me I discovered the pen
Put on my boots and I started the graft
Started the journey
Writing my lyrics and going to colly
Shit I didn’t no nobody
Stuck to my ones like a guy in a lobby
Lowkey introverted like Sims
So I didn’t follow like a cardboard copy
Did the work and I ended it properly
Got diploma so I’m heading to uni
But that weren’t part of the plan
As I stated before I discovered the pen
So you know I weren’t making amends
I just hope that the fam understand
My choice in the palm of my hands
All of the offers I got I declined
For a chance to be put on the map
Choosing the rap was hard for the fact
That barely anyone had my back
To an extent I got it
Some of my relatives I had to lie to
Some I couldn’t run from it
But look the mentality didn’t change
Cause it was my reality
I’m never lacking it’s my opportunity
I’m going harder despite all the scrutiny
021 doing 12 hour shifts on repeat
Cause I had to show what it meant to me
I made the bed so I laid in it
Didn’t want any help I just wanted validity
Money I made put aside for the music fee
This weren’t a joke it’s not TikTok or Musically
Studied the game know I need the longevity
Future I wanna leave with a legacy
022 first track was dropped
I took a trip down Memory lane
Hesitated dropping the video
Shit only got 90 views in a day
Was I shocked, hell to the no
It’s a full process tryna build an empire
But it was new to the kid for sure
You can say Montel got caught in the
CROSSFIRE CROSSFIRE
Montel got caught in the
CROSSFIRE CROSSFIRE
Montel got caught in the
I was lacking experience
But the work rate there was serious
It was obvious, till the end of the year
Me and the guys were warriors
Consistency unmatched but the views weren’t there
And so weren’t the followers
Spent 2 and half that year on vids
That’s minor can’t let it swallow us
And it didn’t, cah the money don’t move me
023 I was running it back
Upping the levels the quality up the production
Hoping I get me a plaque
Spent like 2 on vids last year
Didn’t make anything that is a fact
But I done said that it’s not about bread
When you put in the work all the money attracts
Now we’re in 024
And I’m still tryna make me a name
Still throwing up Take Notice
I just hope all of you do the same
Been 2 years in the game I’m warming
Giving out warnings still gonna spray
Montels still gonna slay on forming
Were performing I’m on the way
