Everybody can't go

You crabs in a barrel ass ****, y'all tried to pull me down

Y'all tried to pull me down

Where is the world I've been looking for

Oh, it's been a while since I'm almost home Oh, I've had it in this town, in the water and storms

The ocean's rising, does it even know

All I ever wanted was to live a life that come with purpose

Dreams of being signed, but waking up as a construction worker

Stressing off this music shit, my trash is full of crumbled verses

Trying everything, but everything just feel like nothing's working

Five years of swimming, still struggling just to touch the surface

In that booth for hours, wanting perfect, damn, my stomach hurting

People ask me how I hit big stages and don't come off nervous

See, when you put the work in, moments like that feel deserving

I was trying to build they curved me, left me all alone

Trying to book a show for months, them **** ain't pick up the phone

Maybe I rap too much, so I dropped some hype, switched up the tone

I'm at ya crown like Michael B, make your king give up the throne

Like Tory Lanez, I'm gunning for your feet to keep you on your toes

I'm from a place where **** feel entitled, leeching off their bros

And they ain't thinking for they self, shit to me, they just some clones

Dumfries DMV, that's the place I call my home

I try to be a solid ****, you know, take my people with me

But the reality of it is, Everybody can't go, Everybody can't go

A crab, a crab in a barrel, you put a bunch of crabs in a barrel

Every crab that tries to climb out of the barrel

There's another crab that's gonna grab that crab and pull it back in

Eventually no crabs can get out the barrel

Because they're all pulling each other back down

Because they're all trying to get to the top

No crab is helping

Old friends, new foes, goaltend new goals

Just did two shows, check cleared blue notes

Then came back home, still feel too broke

They trying to take what I made, cautious when I move tho

Candlelights and ceremonies, gotta stay prepared for them

Two minute drive from gangland territory

House party was the move, till the opps aired it on em

Cops came, shut it down, momma said she scared for me

Anyone can catch a stray when death is on the rise

And they just clapped your man's the streets expecting you to slide

This game don't got no love, my **** check up on your guys

My homie ain't no killer, but he kept it on his side

And then they took em' from me, I been stressed as fuck inside

His cousin wasn't going, he was vexed and upped the nine

He threw away his goals, but said I better follow mine

So while I'm counting ticket sales, he in a cell counting time

Damn

Where is the world I've been looking for

Oh, it's been a while since I'm almost home Oh, I've had it in this town, in the water and storms

The ocean's rising, does it even know

Told myself I gotta escape

Out of this place, out of this place

I keep on telling myself I gotta escape

Out of this place, out of this place
