Lyrics
Lately I've been down on my luck
My mind is racing like a g-wagon I'm stuck
All these thoughts weigh heavy on my mental
Some folks judgmental against me, sentimental
Is how I've been feeling this year, man I'm near
The edge of the cliff were I jump and end up where
Into a portal to escape what still hunts me
Snakes, lions, tigers, bears, haters it's daunting
It's often I struggle with myself, still I take control
As my future unfolds, money in molds when I am old
That mean old money as we laugh at new money
Spend it too quick, me I save up til I'm rich
Live a life that's a bliss, still hating then miss
Me with that bullshit you make **** buy
Chasing dreams till I die in a black suit and tie
One day I'll be that guy saying I got it all at what cost
I just need small steps, soon I'll be a big stepper
Hot like the stars, a Hollywood member I could never
Wake up from my dreams til I'm in a better
Position like Stephen curry I'm forever
Working hard till I reap the benefits to my label
Hoping my haters watching me just like cable
I ain't believed in them lies and the fables
Maybe it's cause I'm guided by the angels
Maybe it's cause I finally turned the tables
Maybe it's cause I gain clarity for mental stability
All my strong points used to be inability
A voice I didn't have until now I can see
How it feels to speak like a leader in the room I be
Feeling glad for my newfound gift like it's a facelift
It rose my confidence up like a forklift
Now I rock the crowd every show I think I'm Aerosmith
Tryna find the keys to success I need a locksmith
Just give me time a tidbit everything will be did
Make it big as an artist living off the grid
It goes small steps first before I become a big stepper
Rich **** like Mr. Webber, broke before now I'm better
I was down below tryna see the other side
A ride to gangster's paradise, the sadness intensified
Not even close to a good wellbeing I was fleeing
From my true self like a highway chase repeating
My worse days was defeating, my health impeding
Instead I chose to work on my wealth deceiving
Myself I need to get that to feel more happy
They ask me Chris are you okay I said not too shabby
But really I was low tryna fit in with the rich
Invested money into crypto and stock to which
I never got close to my goal of being self-made
I should have spent 19 on fun instead of well-paid
But I beg to differ Zelle says
