August Elliott - Pretend (feat. CJ Vana) Lyrics




That's all I know
Yeah yeah, that's really all we know
Stacking my paper, these piles they bigger
You haven't seen nothing, no I'm not a quitter

Tell me why the past always sticking in my mind
When I tried to play my part I couldn't remember all my lines
Everything was dark, head spinning like a cyclone
Every day was hard I was standing on a tightrope
I remember times when I couldn't catch a break, uh
Now I'm flying high, think I'm out there with the planes
I just stayed up on the grind cause the future's what you make it
I been with the rhymes since I been in mama's basement
I was feeling low, I was sick of being anxious
I was like a ghost, used to wonder where the days went
Knew I had to go, can't be thinking in a frame when
I ain't got no hope, cause it only ends in anguish
Now the drugs ain't the only thing I'm moving, uh
Slam dunk on the track like Patrick Ewing, uh
Hands up, if you ever going through shit
I was down now a young muhf*cka going stupid like

I was down so long I didn't know which way was up
I was asking for some help, I was asking way too much
But no ones gonna be there but the fam and the friends
When you really need it they don't wanna pretend anymore
But that's the way it goes
Sometimes you gotta flip the boat, see where it takes you
Follow some trails, open some doors
Until you try you'll never know

And this nostalgia gets so strong that it open up my scars
That I have surrounding every single thought I got
It's breaking me apart
And now I don't know how to make it all stop
And I'm sick of feeling wrong
But I won't go now when
This dark place tries to take me away I won't go

That's all I know
Yeah yeah, that's really all we know
Stacking my paper, these piles they bigger
You haven't seen nothing, no I'm not a quitter
Yeah, just wait until I make it to the top
I promise that I'll give you all I got, yeah
And you'll never be feeling like an opp
We the best and we never ever giving up the spot

I was down so long I didn't know which way was up
I was asking for some help, I was asking way too much
But no ones gonna be there but the fam and the friends
When you really need it they don't wanna pretend anymore
But that's the way it goes
Sometimes you gotta flip the boat, see where it takes you
Follow some trails, open some doors
Until you try you'll never know

That's all I know
Yeah yeah, that's really all we know
Stacking my paper, these piles they bigger
You haven't seen nothing, no I'm not a quitter

When I'm passing haters they acting so bitter
They watch me get paid while they pockets stay thinner
The money been calling so I had to listen
Cause nothing can top when you stacking up digits
