Winner

(album: Truth Be Told - 2021)

[23 Unofficial:]
I was-I was pissed, always stressed all the time
Tryna figure out how to get the stress off my mind
Used to wish my life was a tape, press on rewind
Had to switch it up and go invest in the grind
Skip a couple years, I'm in a foreign, it ain't got no gears
Marble on the floor and the ceiling got the chandelier
Feeling like Meek with all these dreams and the nightmares
Everyday I wake up and still I gotta fight fears
All the nights I cried tears, days felt like light-years
And when everybody left, I swear, I stood right here
Couldn't-couldn't go and ever question my loyalty
I got what I deserved 'cause nobody ever wanted it more than me
I got a-I got a message for them kids, you better get it how you live
Yeah it might look nice, but not everything is lit
I-I do it for the young and hopeless
The ones that never got a chance to even get noticed, it's 20

[Valntna:]
The tears I've cried formed my demons
I won't hide, nothings gonna dim my shine (I was gonna be a winner, winner, winner)
'Til death I'll grind, plant my seeds
Water mines, I won't let them take my smile (I was gonna be a winner, winner, winner)

See I See I've been thinking while I'm sipping on this Wray & Neph'
Niggas gotta pay respect 'cause every time I did it, always came correct
And I-and I ain't nowhere near made it yet
See, I gotta keep going, progress, it gotta keep showing
And this lil' [?], it gotta keep glowing
'Cah I don't know when my time's up, I can't have no blind spots
It don't matter how you fall, it's how you climb up
And every time I fell down, I got right up (Yeah)
And when life gave me lemons, I made lemonade
I had to make this shit myself 'cause it weren't ready-made
And ev-and even at my worst, I can still see better days, it's 20

[Valntna:]
The tears I've cried formed my demons
I won't hide, nothings gonna dim my shine (I was gonna be a winner, winner, winner)
'Til death I'll grind, plant my seeds
Water mines, I won't let them take my smile (I was gonna be a winner, winner, winner)

The tears I've cried formed my demons
I won't hide, nothings gonna dim my shine
'Til death I'll grind, plant my seeds
Water mines, I won't let them take my smile
