Bailey Hutton - Tribulations Lyrics

I ain't got time to be wasted
I keep pacing back and forth in my basement
Thinking bout all my days spent inside of a job that I hate to work
Might as well die in that bitch in my checkerboard shirt
Scrappin hard for every single cent cuz I gotta that money for the rent
And I gotta keep food on my plate
So I do what you can't
That's grind motherf*cker all night all day
Back in high school I was rapping in them hallways
I guess I came a long way
I didn't choose the path that anybody told me to
I guess I came the wrong way
Long way from the top
But I ain't gon' fret
Childhood memories I ain't never gon forget
Now my grandfather dead in the flesh
But he alive in my head
Follow your heart is what he said
And I listen to his words
Trying not to ever get discouraged
But this life will pull you down in a motherf*cking hurry if you let it
Imma go get it
Coach put me in I promise you ain't got regret it
Don't sweat it
Every single second feel like Armageddon
Oh God in heaven if you listening I got many questions
Wrestling with depression, I'm confessing
I slowly become obsessed with putting words together perfectly
Turn a curse to a blessing
A blessing to a profession
I'm destined to be a legend
Directing this movie writing, producing that's my perspective
I know this vision must be hard for y'all to see
But I could care less if y'all believe in me

And after everything you been through you still standing tall
This life is brief, quite like a dream
One day we're here and then we're gone
We'll be gone someday
Through trials and tribulations
We can only be patient
Unsure what do we put our faith in
Oh will we ever meet our maker

They say Lord giveth and taketh away
I'm trying to make away for self-sustainability and send myself to better days
Just keep calm and meditate
I'm tryna elevate my consciousness and levitate from Earth and all it's hellish ways
Y'all just keep giving the Devil praise
Fueling bad habits, finding excuses to celebrate
I ain't playing around no more it's time to accelerate
I'm well awake
I've been out my mind for a minute
I've been hard on this grind for a minute
I been tryna shine for a minute
I've had numbers on my line for a minute
I been unsigned for a minute
Been producing, writing' rhymes for a minute
I know that the sky is the limit
I said I know that the sky is the limit
All my life they lied to me bout so many things
Nowadays I'm not sure what I should believe
Looking, seeking, searching - I'm just, I'm just tryna be free
Looking, seeking, seeking - I'm just, I'm just tryna be free... free... free

And after everything you been through you still standing tall
This life is brief, quite like a dream
One day we're here and then we're gone
We'll be gone someday
Through trials and tribulations
We can only be patient
Unsure what do we put our faith in
Oh will we ever meet our maker
