Jake Miller First Row song lyrics


Jake Miller First Row song lyrics
I used to sit up in the nose bleeds, but now I'm sittin' courtside
next to my dad while he's sippin' on his Coors Light
I'm on the big screen, momma look at me now
sittin' so close I could practically get the rebound
but believe me, it wasn't always like this
I should probably wait until after the game to write this
if you see me on the TV lookin' down at my phone
I apologize just know that I was writing this song lemme tack ya back, back to 2009
before the glitz and glamour back when I was on my grind
I would go to see the heat play, but every single time
I had a vision on a mission only one thing on my mind
lemme remind you, I had no fan base, no buzz
just another normal kid, nobody knew who I was
but the thought of being average made me lose sleep
so I would sit up in bed strategizing while you counted sheep
I had this plan, kinda crazy ill admit it
lil Wayne was at the games I always knew where he was sittin'
and back then he was hero, knew every single song
every album every mixtape every feature he was on
so I figured if I could get my mixtape tape in his hands,
maybe he would listen to it, maybe hed give me chance
I packaged em up lookin' all professional shit
it was best work, 7 of my best tracks
I wrote my name and number on the back
and I would stuff em my jeans, pants saggin' to me knees
I felt like my future was depending on these demo CD's
and I would sneak em past security they never caught me
runnin' through the metal detector like you'll never stop me
while everybody watched the game, I never saw a shot
I was staring a Wayne, formulating my plot
up in the nosebleeds, waiting for that halftime buzzer to go off
so I could blend in and get lost in the commotion
like just another fish in ocean, this is my only chance, this is my moment
man I swear to god, this is it I feel like destiny was calling me
walkin' down the stairs like excuse me pardon me
all covered in sweat, million thoughts up in head
gettin ‘closer to my dreams with every single step
and there he was, Lil Wayne, standing 10 feet in front of me
the reason I fell in love with rap 10 feet in front me
but as I walked up to him,
with a a mixtape in my hand I was stopped by his security
and now the only thing standing
between me and my dreams was that 6'7 man
I said I gotta give something to Lil Wayne
I've been waiting all my life for this I swear you don't even understand
and then he cut me off, he took my CD, handed it to Wayne
he looked over me and smiled at him and waved
it was the best day of my life
every now and then I wonder what he did with my CD that night
maybe he listened to on his way home,
maybe he used it as coaster for his drink
I guess I'll never really know that's not the point
the point is what happened that night inside the triple A,
taught me if there's then there's a will there's a way
fast forward to now, funny how life works out
the same body guard that stopped me is my body guard now
its crazy, cause now these kids are comin' up to me
saying Jake you my hero please take my CD
and every time that they do, it's like déjà vu
nice to meet ya how ya doing I was just like you
its like I'm lookin' in the mirror, starin' at my younger self
cause I was in your shoes, I remember how it felt
and now im touring the world,
signing record deals millions of people around the globe know my name
oh and guess what
now I'm sittin' courtside at heat games 3
seats down from Lil Wayne
pretty funny right?
I'm living proof if you send ya mind to something
there's no limits on where you can go
so this song right here is dedicated to the people
tryna to make it from the nosebleeds to the front row
