I Got This

(album: When Stars Align - 2019)

On my way, I can't ever waste time
Slept one day, but I've been awake five
No complaints when they pay me no mind
Don't complain when I make it in time
And I leave you in the dust
See me when I rise
Yo, where were you when I was barely getting by?
I needed some love but you wilted me to dry
It's cool, I remember everything, no lie
Just me and my music, I always had drought
I wanted to make it, you wanted to get high
If you want to stay complacent, I get it, it is fine
Just don't bitch about it later when you're slaving nine to five
This is passion, and now I'm LOLing
'Cause I'm on a different wave, I see you're hella jealous
Y'all would always give me hate and I see you regret it
Don't apologize and say sorry, won't accept it
In about five years, I see where you at
You'll be where you are and I'll be on the map
I isolated myself, I sacrificed all I had
I had to believe in me because nobody gave me a chance
Get your motherfucking mind right
In the studio, I'm visualizing my life
I'm reciting every single word that I'd write
Depression on the low, but you know that I fight, yeah
And fuck my dumbass job, I swear it doesn't pay
I make 800 hundred a month, I've got a kid on the way
I was living in the slums, I wasn't catching a break
I wasn't looking for luck, I was just looking for face
Soon as I clocked out, I would go home and write music
My friends begging to kick it, I'm sorry, I couldn't do it
I had a dream in my mind and I wasn't willing to lose it
And no lie, swear I could do this, damn

Always stay by my lonely
Swear the whole world gon' know me
Nobody's gon' control me
I swear to God, I'd die for this
I may have lied a couple times
I may have lied a couple times
I may have lied a couple times
But, no lie, I got this
You back down, what I know now
No one back down, but I know now
My life's gone fast, time to slow down
So many nights where I broke down, look
I may have lied a couple times
I may have lied a couple times
I may have lied a couple times
But, no lie, I got this

Yeah, dedicated to my vision on a day to day basis
Infatuated with the thought of me dream-chasing
And these are my dreams, if you want it come take it
They wanted to go out, I wanted to go places
Remember high school, I won't forget those faces
Remember high school, I won't forget those faces
Of those who doubted me and made me feel like I was less
'Cause I wanted to progress, but I guess that time changes
'Cause now y'all are lame, so broke and so basic
Stay DM'd my page and hoped I'd grown jaded
Disappear like a ghost, I was the most hated
But now I'm hella known, so close I can taste it
No time goals wasted, battle what I'm faced with
My approach is authentic, I won't grow impatient
Imagine feeling low in a house all alone
Seeing everybody posting drunk and so faded
But I didn't miss out, y'all are just a memory
I sacrificed and I got a life ahead of me
Everybody's dead to me, I don't want no lean
I don't wanna kick it, I don't wanna grab a drink
Please leave me by my lonely, homie, I'ma hit my peak
Then I'll peak after that, I promise you're gonna see
Either you're with me or not, you don't even have to think
Until you make up your mind, I'm gonna make you believe
Bitch

Always stay by my lonely
Swear the whole world gon' know me
Nobody's gon' control me
I swear to God, I'd die for this
I may have lied a couple times
I may have lied a couple times
I may have lied a couple times
But, no lie, I got this
You back down, what I know now
No one back down, but I know now
My life's gone fast, time to slow down
So many nights where I broke down, look
I may have lied a couple times
I may have lied a couple times
I may have lied a couple times
But, no lie, I got this
