Tryin make some history
Picture me up in the stands ready waving hands
Little me, look at me now like you made it man
It's funny, in front of strangers I feel at home
This is the only thing that i really know
Really though NY bound im on the red-eye
Mind playing tricks on me kid, like Jedi
Will i reach these heights be everything i said i would?
I Touch down like "The Engine That Could"
I'm in the neck of the hoods
This ain't my neck of the woods
But I'm a man with a dream thats as grand as the scheme
Cue the scene, gutter full of steam
Big brother been telling me when he was just a teen
Each word remains in my brains hall of fame
See you and I, we're kinda like the same
We have probably always ride the black car and the first train
Cuz the heroes in our lives always buy our first names as games
(Joyride and Solo)
Best laid plans, imma' be the man someday, one day. (x4)

Tryin to make some history
Consider these corner stones of a legacy
Delivery of everything I said I'd be
On the benches, one day they gonna mention me
I spread fire like a westerly
See I never believed in destiny
Always poured free will like i was meant to be
I say it like it was said to me
One day it'll make sense, well I'll guess we'll see
Best believe
Fans want that new shit, fam want a new Nick
Me? I want both, I stand here trying to prove it
Let me help you understand how i do this
I give the signal with my hands and they lose it
These days everybody follow the blue print
But, if it were easy everybody would do it
See i burnt all my books on the last day of school
But the ones at the top never stopped being students
We keep it movin' homie

Trying to make some history
But i got my father's sense in me
Forgive me though it all happened so quickly
Looking in the mirror and Im tipsy
And suddenly its all clear to me
As a mixed race kid, mixed up kid
My face looking more like yours than it ever did
I catch myself doing things i swore i never would
Like I would never treat my girl too good
But there it is
Oh and I found your negatives
Lookin at them in the sun, I think its crazy
That you had to quit photography to raise me
Your only son and you're bout to blow up
Man Those flicks were amazing
I see it in myself
Sometimes when I'm low and it's all going to hell
But I know I owe it all to you
So I'm never giving up, I don't know a lot but I know this much

Tryin to make some history
Picture me bringing till, still in my teens
A lost kid till that hip-hop intervened
Seeing my idol recite on a mic
All up in the front row best night of my life
Afterwards I greet him with a pound of the fist
Probably said a thousand words that amounted to this
"thank you for the music you gave me my blueprint"
He just smiled and said "man that's cool shit"
Now picture this, flip the switch, role reversal
Im in his shoes now its come full circle
I've got a man, nah I got a fan saying
He understand what I jotted in my journal
He said thanks for the sage advice
Cos what I wrote in that rain song saved his life
I mean god damn thats crazy right?
See who's the man to you
Ain't the same who's the man to me
Means their ain't no man to be
Except your own so I plan to be, ain't no plan achieved
It just is how it had to be
Im Singing
(Hook) x8
