They Said

(الألبوم: Remains - 2019)

They said I'll never make it out
But I know I'ma make it one day, one day
Told my momma I'ma make her proud
I promise I won't let you down, you down
How you gonna tell me how to live my life?
How to live my life?
You don't know what's that like, yeah
You don't know what's that like

I can't be collective, I've never faulted for the fame
Only time I'm tripping's when I travel countries on a plane, yeah
The more you gain, the more they think you'll pay for everything
They say, "Don't let the fame change you"
I'm not the one who changed, look
People break you for the dollars, that makes cents
Take favors that they picture me? They pitch tents
Living life, man, what a ride; they said this was suicide
Did you forget the alphabet? All you say is "you and I," yeah
Step outside and it's really cold out
You was cool in highschool but you're broke now
Hit the stage, I bet it sold out
I'm in the zone now
They couldn't get the picture even if they had they phones out, yeah
I've never had a lot to say, just follow your dreams
But if I let the pride talk, does that say more about me?
Am I exhaling the pain or am I letting it breathe?
The more likes that I see, the less I really do see
All this anger that I carry has been seeping out
Hard for me to keep it out, so they see me leave it out
Sixteen, making music, so they left me out
Always had to put me down
See me up, they friendly now
That's why I never come around

They said I'll never make it out
But I know I'ma make it one day, one day
Told my momma I'ma make her proud
I promise I won't let you down, you down
How you gonna tell me how to live my life?
How to live my life?
You don't know what's that like, yeah
You don't know what's that like

More second chances back and forth only makes it worse
They're wasting every drink, so love and hate will always seem to blur
Pull back the curtains and all this pain will immerse
There we surfaces when surfing lions serving the verse, like
Ay, let me set it straight
When I'm down, I elevate
It's your 5-2, only time that I medicate
Bought a house, can't buy the gate
Can't turn me down, I radiate
'Til eighty-eight; they can't get me, so they try to replicate
They don't like me, they can't do it like me
I don't do this lightly, I just do it nightly
In the clouds, I might be I just like to sightsee
My work ethic is melodic, all I know is high-key, yeah
I either feel nothing or feel myself too much, yeah
Looking at this mirror like it's really just us
When the money keeps adding, you just gotta add justice
Not the colors—you can't buy us; who's behind the paintbrush?
Care less on 'em, can I flex on 'em?
Show the bag, throw them bills on 'em
That isn't me, I can tell you that
But I'm stressed out, 'cause you checked out
Now you want a check now
Oh, we all best friends now? Funny, 'cause

They said I'll never make it out
But I know I'ma make it one day, one day
Told my momma I'ma make her proud
I promise I won't let you down, you down
How you gonna tell me how to live my life?
How to live my life?
You don't know what's that like, yeah
You don't know what's that like
