So They Say

I don't know if I'm doing this in vain, yeah

But I swear that this shit be in my veins

This shit been startin' to drive me insane

I just want the money, I don't even need the fame

What if this shit I'm making actually lame?

That's why I ain't took off like a bullet train

What if I ain't as good as I think I am? (Yeah)

All this gold on my neck, like who do I think I am?

Complex wiring and circuitry gave me emotions

Connected to my brain from which that came all the notions

I'd be a liar if I said I didn't fill my mind with doubt

I'd be a liar if I didn't get my truth out

Now I done rapped my heart out and blew the roof out

And I done rapped so hard, I swear I spit a tooth out

The hourglass ain't giving me no time back

Talked to my nana with her cigarettes and wine glass

And she said

"Everything happens for a reason" (Everything, everything)

So they say

But honestly, I don't know what to believe in these days

Yeah, seasons change, people change

Talked to my ****, and they told me, "Don't trip"

"'Cause you the captain of your own ship"

My girl been going through it, sometimes I feel helpless

Racing with my friends like, "Damn, how can I help this?"

I just want to be wealthy, buy shit I couldn't afford

I still live within my means, I drive a Honda Accord

I take eighty-seven gas, I'm not a regular ****

Support Black business, breaking bread with all of my ****

I ain't gon' stop 'til I pile several figures

Retire when I'm tired, go figure

"Everything happens for a reason" (Everything, everything)

So they say

But honestly, I don't know what to believe in these days

(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)

Starin' in the dark, my thoughts haunting me all at night

I done been so broke, I done put my pockets in rice

I don't keep a stank face, I try to keep it polite

Speeding down the tunnel, I'm headed straight towards the light

"Everything happens for a reason" (Everything, everything)

So they say

But honestly, I don't know what to believe in these days

(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)

Seasons change, people change

Talked to my **** and they told me, "Don't trip"

"'Cause you the captain of your own ship"

You are the captain of your own flight today
