F#m G#m D D
F#m G#m D D
[Verse 1: Futuristic]
F#m
I had an epiphany
G#m
I was repeating history
I was doing everything I hated
D
The weight on my shoulders
I let it all get to me (I let it all get to me)
F#m
I had an epiphany
G#m
I just smiled at my enemies
D
I was listenin' to everybody who was talkin'
But never did shit for me, yeah
F#m
I had an epiphany
G#m
I was lookin' at everybody else that's up in the industry
D
They ain't as sick as me (They ain't as sick as me)
F#m
I had an epiphany
G#m
I was seein' somebody that never had no good intentions for me
D
Now she missin' me, yuh (Now she missin' me)
F#m
Yeah, moral of the story is nobody did it for me
G#m
Had to make a change (Nah)
I was livin' in the city with no scene
D
I had a dream I had to make a lane (Yup, yup)
Always knew that I couldn't live off of minimum wage
F#m
Rippin' the pay stub (Woo)
G#m
I had a minimal taste for all the fame stuff (Woo)
D
But I got into the game without a cent to my name
And now I'm ballin' like I'm in the NBA, bruh
F#m
And I know I got a lot but I'm not content (Yeah)
G#m
If they ask me to stop, I will not consent (Yeah)
D
Never let nobody block 'cause my shot to miss (Yeah)
You can meet me at the top if you hop the fence
F#m
And you climb the stairs
And you fight the beast
G#m
And you lose your way
Then you find your peace
D
And you do it sober
Then you find a drink
Then you spiral down
And it all repeats
F#m
And I always had a vision I could get it
So I did it by my lonely
G#m
I don't owe nobody nothin', never let nobody own me
D
Got some money from the music, and I spend it on the homies
But don't put nothin' before me, gave a whip to little brodie
F#m
And I'm only gettin" started (Started)
G#m
And I'm eatin' with the people that I starve with (Starve with)
D
And my batteries, I had to recharge 'em (Recharge)
I made an album but that shit was garbage
F#m
Yo, I was trapped in a gimmick
I finally get it
G#m
I'm here to make music that matters
D
If I die, it'll all be alright
'Cause the message I gave you will live for me after
F#m
And my chapter will highlight a lifetime (Lifetime)
G#m
Of energy gave through a bright mind (Bright mind)
D
How you never had to stand on the sideline? (Sideline)
How you the guide to your own guidelines?
[Chorus: Futurisitic]
F#m G#m
That's an epiphany (That's an epiphany, that's an epiphany)
D
I had an epiphany, yeah (—piphany, yeah, —piphany, yeah)
F#m G#m
That's an epiphany (That's an epiphany)
D
I had an epiphany, yeah (I had an epiphany, yeah)
[Verse 2: NF]
F#m
I had an epiphany
G#m
That I could make history
That I could prove everyone wrong
D
That told me I wasn't cut out for this music thing, yeah
F#m
I had an epiphany
G#m
What if I took my energy
D
And used it on positive things in my life
Instead of the people that lie to me, huh? (Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh)
F#m
Yeah, I had an epiphany
G#m
That I could put all of my hurt into music
D
And use it for people that might feel the same as me (The same as me, same as me, same as me, same as me)
F#m
Yeah, I had an epiphany
G#m
What if everyone knew my depression was worse than they thought?
D
They probably gon' look at me differently (Differently, differently, differently, differently)
F#m
Yo, this song got me goin' back, when I was a stupid kid
G#m
Thinkin' maybe I could make it in the music biz
D
And then I figured out the politics
And realized that half of y'all don't even know what music is
F#m
Ain't goin' nowhere, I told 'em to get used to me
G#m
Feels like I'm livin' in a movie scene
D
A bunch of people tryin' to tell me how to act and breathe
One thing I never let nobody ever do was tell me who to be
F#m
I never got into the party scene
G#m
Maybe I was just scared to drink
D
'Cause addiction it runs in my family
That's someone I was scared to be
You're lookin' pitiful compared to me
Since I can barely read
F#m
All I wanted was somebody I could trust
G#m
That I knew would keep it real with me
D
Rap's always been a mirror for me
That's when I figured out that maybe I'm the one that's gotta make it on my own, yeah, it's clear to see
F#m
A lot of people thinkin' what I'm doing is a gimmick
G#m
Everything you hear me writin' I've been livin', I ain't quittin'
D
Send the money to my family, try to show 'em that I miss 'em
And I cherish every moment when I'm home and when I'm with 'em
F#m
And it's just the way that I feel (I feel, I feel, I fee)
G#m
In the industry of fakes tryna stay real (Stay real, stay real, stay real)
D
In the industry of lames tryna get deals
Lord knows I'ma get it, that's Meek Mill (Meek Mill, Meek Mill)
F#m G#m
Yeah, I lay in my bed at night thinkin'
"There's gotta be more to me"
D
I'm tryin' to pay off the mortgaging
But the life of the people I love in the midst of it
F#m
I've always thought that if
G#m
I learn from mistakes that I make, even losses are victories
D
That's when it starts hittin' me
If you set your mind to it, you can do anything
[Chorus: NF]
F#m G#m
That's an epiphany (—piphany, —piphany)
D
That's an epiphany, yeah (—piphany, yeah —piphany, yeah)
F#m G#m
I had an epiphany (—piphany, —piphany, —piphany)
D
I had an epiphany, yeah (—piphany, yeah)
