Lyrics

I had to learn the hard way
I took them Ls and swallowed it
So many pains in my chest
Uhh
Look
Lately I have been observing life
How day stays like a sec, and night stays longer
They thought i didn't know what I was doing
But I looked at them and laughed on my mind
They never believed in the grind that I have been putting in
Because I was always around
They never believed all the hard work was gonna pay off someday
Now, everything seems different
My old friends doing the fake checking, asking me how am I doing
Man, you know I have been fine and grateful ever since God created me
Just facing the hard times in life
Wouldn't change my mindset of not to keep being grateful to God
Because I know he has always been good to me, ayy
I thank God that where I'm today is not where I was yesterday
Because they never rated me
Family wants the best for me
But people outside doesn't wanna see me shine
Because they were treated bad
So, they try to put the same energy on me
I guess, it all goes like a circle
But I ain't letting myself go inside that circle
That's why I always keep my distance and my circle small
Things have changed now
If I'm going back home
They wanna know how much progress I have made in life
No one wants the best for anyone
That's the selfish world we live in
Everyone wanna be the king
But no one wanna go through the process
You win, they start hating
All they love is greed
And looking for ways to take what belongs to you
I forgive myself for all I have done
Even though I may still go back to the same way
But I know I'm not built like that
So, I will always be who God created me to be no matter what I face
Friends of today ain't friends
Next minute, they turns to enemies
That's the reason I got no friends
Guys been backing people
That will never care about them in the next minute
Ignoring your real one that has always been there for you
But I guess, familiarity is not a good thing
That's why I always keep my distance
They thought they were doing me wrong, uhh
They didn't know they were making me strong
Nowadays, I cut people off
That I thought were my friends like they're nothing, ayy
Inside is cold, outside is cold
I don't know where to stay
I feel everyone is just on me
But as a thug, I will never quit fighting for my peace
Used to be an extrovert
Now, I'm growing up
I found myself as an introvert
Because I have experienced so much in life
Life change, people change
We were kids then and didn't know what our tomorrow was gonna be
Now we are getting older
Life is changing
For real
