Lyrics

I was getting off track, for a lil bit too long
I had to keep pace, with the shit on my plate
Get it jumping like space, with the mj shoes on
Was too bogged down
This a journey, not a chase
I'm not complacent, with the times, cause I know I'll change em
No breaking my aspirations
Was too bogged down
At one point
Shank get it popping, like thumb joints
Young boy, ain't really one for the dumb ploys
Had to cut all the noise for a sec
Age of rookie, the poise of vet
Dance with devil, a poisonous bet, imma better my chances
Dream for stars, know I'm good when I land, back down
I pray to take the pain away
Forced to play my cards, and make my own from it
Embracing all the rainy days
Imma take that rain and make a storm of it
I pray to take the pain away
Forced to play my cards, and make my own from it
Embracing all the rainy days
Imma take that rain and make a storm of it
Deep in the cut
Deep into punchlines
Saw a bunch, of nobody once, hitting my line
Checking in, never really did, so I cut ties
With the fakes, lemme demonstrate thoughts in my mind
Side of the story, nobody resides
Group shit, and not a clue, where and what time
Debunk it, I settle disputes in these lines, listen up
Many friends just foes, who pose to get close
I choose a new road for myself
Many girls just hoes, who looking for that bone, but, couldn't be alone with they self
Denying the went wrong, I had to go rogue
I had to just focus on wealth
And abundance of it
Hella growth what I wanted, and needed
Since my man passed, I was depleted
In the P.M. when I go ghost (yuh)
Not letting many people get close (yuh)
Settling for less, I won't (yuh)
Got, high standards
Can't stand people high, it's no answer
I don't make songs, instead I write anthems
I might ramble, on beats
And light candles, the flamethrower
Last chance, game over
The pain, shouldered
One shot, the takeover
Shank rolling, 4Q, a straight closer
I've been looking for queues, that I'm chosen
A blind man could see it
I'm looking no further
The man in the mirror
He stay on a burner
A silent assassin, I sit and observe from the stands
All I see is a bunch of reserves
I pray to take the pain away
Forced to play my cards, and make my own from it
Embracing all the rainy days
Imma take that rain and make a storm of it
I pray to take the pain away
Forced to play my cards, and make my own from it
Embracing all the rainy days
Imma take that rain and make a storm of it
I was getting off track, for a lil bit too long
I had to keep pace, with the shit on my plate
Get it jumping like space, with the mj shoes on
Was too bogged down
This a journey, not a chase
I'm not complacent, with the times, cause I know I'll change em
No breaking my aspirations
Was too bogged down
At one point
Shank get it popping, like thumb joints
Young boy, ain't really one for the dumb ploys
Had to cut all the noise for a sec
Age of rookie, the poise of vet
Dance with devil, a poisonous bet, imma better my chances
Dream for stars, know I'm good when I land, back down
