Lyrics
I walk alone through the valleys and the shadows of death
Through the moments that are lessons that I label regrets
Walking through all the people that's preventing my steps
To show them all that their failures why I'm reaching success
I walk alone through these heartbreaks and all of my lows
Through these people who keep calling that I hardly know
Always asking me for handouts that they do not deserve
And that's the reason why I, I walk alone
Look at me I got managers now
I got people telling me that I'm so talented wow
But they can't even name a song in my catalog how
Can they call themselves a fan when they don't listen to the music they just care about my status and my whole bank account
Now there's girls inside my DMs hoping I share the clout
But before I started rapping If I was on fire, these the same type of people who would never pour a cup of water on me with the hopes to make the flame go down
I remember starting out every show was dang ghost town
Now I'm finally coast to coast and my streams are going global
Got some fans in California while they're blaring "Fake Smiles" down in south Cape Town
That's the reason why you love me let's just call a spade a spade
I'm the ace inside the whole and it is deadly when you bet against my name
It's a gamble not trade
I'm not one for second chances let me let this song explain
I walk alone through the valleys and the shadows of death
Through the moments that are lessons that I label regrets
Walking through all the people that's preventing my steps
To show them all that their failures why I'm reaching success
I walk alone through these heartbreaks and all of my lows
Through these people who keep calling that I hardly know
Always asking me for handouts that they do not deserve
And that's the reason why I, I walk alone
Look at me I got fans in the crowd
I got friendships being mended from my samples and sound
I got family telling me I'm so immaculate wow
But would they still claim me if I never grabbed a mic or if the cameras were down
If I asked them for some handouts like they're asking me now
Would their answer be sincere or be callous and foul
I'm not trying to be so negative it's just what I fear
Cause it sounds like grinding gears getting the run around
I was told that the truth it will set you free but first it gonna have to piss you off
I remember all my text going green and all my missed phone calls
Now these kids look up to me I'm who's in their headphones dog
Spoke this life in existence I cropped the image in my crystal ball
Cause I'll be damned if I make it up to heaven and I meet the man I could've been verse who I settled for that's the reason why
I walk alone through the valleys and the shadows of death
Through the moments that are lessons that I label regrets
Walking through all the people that's preventing my steps
To show them all that their failures why I'm reaching success
I walk alone through these heartbreaks and all of my lows
Through these people who keep calling that I hardly know
Always asking me for handouts that they do not deserve
And that's the reason why I, I walk alone
