[ Featuring OKAYTRE ]
I've sat and questioned
Is life about fighting the turmoil
Or simply experiencing it
Sometimes I thought i'd stay stuck
Held hostage in my environment
But I grew
I broke the presumed boxes that I've been placed in
Speculations, assumptions
I fought to re-invent myself
And worked my best to bring my loved ones with me
Bring them with me in connotation
That's expressed as "success"
Stack to a million
Chasing resilience
I ain't have no time for feelings
I ain't have no time for drilling
Stuck in the room
Making a killing
Making them hits in the back of the trench
Making songs so I can sound like this
I was praying to go get rich
But I needed my soul, was stuck in the mix
Stuck wit a Stick
Stuck wit my wits
Seen some people I couldn't fix
Had some friends I couldn't guide
But now my fate's where I reside
I reside
My own fate's where I reside
If you wasn't with me from the start
Don't look up when I fly by
Yea don't look up when I fly by
I feel like a few niggas counted me out
But it's all love
Back when I was in the city
I just had me a few people
Had no idea of the future
But we here now
Learning to let go of these feelings
And not internalize it
Shit, nothing's personal
And if it is, you non-existent
In my life at least
Seeing my friends build themselves
Gave me hope
Hope that I won't let go
But shit we here now, ready to rock out
Had to grow myself
Fighting for wealth
Seeing the crimes, lonely nights
With no help
Had to kill the strife
Had to chase my life
Came a long way from seeing absence of light
Came a long way from having no relief
Crying but still applying my inner me
Energy
Needed energy
Whole time I found out I was the center piece
