Lyrics Halfway There (Outro) - Kaleb Mitchell, Marissa Jerome

Halfway There (Outro)

This all started with a notebook that I was supposed to be writing notes in
I was more concerned 'bout the lyrics I was composin'
Nobody believed I could do it I had to show them
Just a young kid but I knew that I was the GOAT then, yeah
2012 I recorded my first demo off a iPod Touch and a Ace Hood instrumental
I knew, that I had something special
I talked to God and I told him to use me as a vessel
So I could get to, the people that was left on the sidelines
The ones who don’t feel like following everyone’s guidelines
The people that wanna create
People that follow their dreams
People that never give up, no matter how hard it seems
Y’all just like me
I was told that I was foolish
I was told that all the work I was doing was useless
(Prechorus: Kaleb Mitchell)
But I mapped the vision out then I stuck to it
You either make it happen or sit back and make excuses
Now I’m halfway there, yeah
(Chorus: Marissa Jerome)
Don’t trip
Baby let your hair fall down
Know that it gon' all work out
Just keep grinding when in doubt
You know its about to rain so hard, forget the drought
Cuz, you’re halfway there
Baby you know
You’re halfway there
You’re halfway there
(Verse 2: Kaleb Mitchell)
Let me take you back to 2013
Every single day I’m up in the lab
Plottin' on how to take over the world
I was tryna give it all that I had
Lost a lot of people over the years
But never lost my day ones
If you wasn’t there when it was dark out
You won’t be there when my day comes
Freestyle after freestyle after mixtape after mixtape
Lotta people don’t work this hard, but Imma do whatever it takes
Open mic after open mic
Man I swear to God they don’t know the grind
Friday night you was going out
I was in my room going over lines
Man its just the difference when it come to the hunger
They be talking but they don’t really want it
They be talking but they don’t really want it
I’m in the game and Imma play til' the buzzer
I do this here for my mother
I do this here for my family
I do this here for the people
I do this here for the Lord
I do this here for my sanity
In no particular order
Just remember Mitchell one of the realest to do it
It ain’t no fabrication or exaggeration
This my life put to music, yeah
(Prechorus: Kaleb Mitchell)
I mapped the vision out then stuck to it
Either make it happen or make excuses
And now I’m halfway there, yeah
(Chorus: Marissa Jerome)
Don’t trip
Baby let your hair fall down
Know that it gon' all work out
Just keep grinding when in doubt
You know its about to rain so hard forget the drought
Cuz, you’re halfway there
Baby you know
You’re halfway there
You’re halfway there
(Verse 3: Marissa Jerome)
So grab hold your feelings
You know you 'bout to get it
Got that drive to get it done before the sundown
Nobody couldn’t stop you from a touchdown
Everyone knows
How far you’re gonna go
You’re halfway there
