No Way

(album: Sunsets & Goodbyes - 2022)

Yeah...

Came up out my grandma's spot
Pennies for my random thoughts
Finna tell my story 'cause I'm grateful ain't no plan to stop
Somedays wish I would but if I'm honest I can't stand to not
Guess it's who I am, it's my purpose plus demand is hot
I can't lie I'm in my prime
Even if these views decline
Even if no label tryna call me, I refuse to sign
Even if I never made a dollar, I'd still choose these rhymes
Shit is therapeutic, it's what save me when I lose my mind
This feel like a trip down
Memory lane back in my school
People toxic
Belittle my music, call me a fool
Just projecting insecurity
They themselves have within
See your talent and your confidence
Wishing that it was them
I just move on, my passion too strong
Could barely hear the criticism
Focused on a new song
Done fighting fire with my fire
'Cause it's cheap like coupons
My revenge is my success
It's how I write, they two wrongs

Swear I'm feeling okay, I'm okay
Life too good now to shed my tears
Got me thinking no way, no way
If I ain't went wrong I'd never end up here
So I'm saying okay, I'm okay
I ain't gonna hang my head for years
There's just really no way, no
There's just really no way

Used to smile while I kick rocks
In socks and flip-flops
Done wasting time with all these TikToks
My neighbours pissed off
I got this music blaring loud
Kendrick, J, and Rick Ross
I told 'em I'ma change the world
With this love and hip hop
Lately, wake up eggs sunny side
Life has been a funny ride
Neighbourhood, I started in exactly where I'll one day die
Evergreen trees falling leaves look like butterflies
Guess this summer weathers got me thinking deeper
It's got me thinking 'bout my past
And my future all together the same
When relationships were genuine, not for personal gain
Ride our bikes around the town so sheltered from all the pain
Playing Xbox in my basement when it's dark or if it rained
Drinking cold cans, despite my old man
Confess our dreams, then saying no chance
Like there is no chance
Felt something chemical 'bout romance
My first slow dance
They all saying here I go again
Yeah, here I go again (Damn)

Swear I've been feeling okay, I'm okay
Life too good now to shed my tears
Got me thinking no way, no way
If I ain't went wrong I'd never end up here
So I'm saying okay, I'm okay
I ain't gonna hang my head for years
There's just really no way, no
There's just really no way

There's just really no way, yeah
I ain't gonna hang my head for years
No way
There's no way
