Lyrics

Where do you go when it's all going bad?
Who do you look to when you don't know the path?
With all your plans getting folded back
You took an L and you're holding that
Drowning in the lake of your lonely past
Filled with all the tears you've been holding back
How do you make it out with your soul intact?
I need some answers because it's going bad
Sometimes I just don't know what to do
This cold world will leave you frozen in your shoes
You get some bad news and you hope it isn't true
Then your focus is renewed because your folks depend on you
Watching your parents age, you pray their health doesn't fade
You start to shoulder pain when they talk about shoulder pain
It's got you striving all day so their medical aid is paid
Pretending not be phased when mortality's in your face
Then you've got your children, no letting them see you sweat
'Cause kids need heroes, even if you're in debt
Perpetually stressed, just thinking about your next
Move, no second guessing 'cause it has to be your best
'til we're set, I've got to go through these motions
Maintaining the hope, mama prays her daily devotion
While I dream of a home that's overlooking the ocean
I have the will to move, I just have to know where I'm going
Where do you go when it's all going bad?
Who do you look to when you don't know the path?
With all your plans getting folded back
You took an L and you're holding that
Drowning in the lake of your lonely past
Filled with all the tears you've been holding back
How do you make it out with your soul intact?
I need some answers because it's going bad
I've been here a minute and I've been thinking of quitting
It's clear enough I'm a king, but it's like the crown isn't fitting
I went and told the homies and they replied "are you kidding?
How can you leave the game, who's spitting like you've been spitting?"
It got me thinking, yeah you're probably right
When it's darkest out you need to show them your light
Whether it's open mics or arenas show them your fight
But even when you're nice they're criticising your life
They're not peeping the struggle can't see we're deep in the jungle
They pray your problems increase, there's glee in keeping you humble
They're eager to see you tumble and look for reasons to judge you
Don't let these demons numb you for the sake of people who love you
Look to the one above you, thank Him for all your blessings
And when you miss the mark, take it to your confessions
Every L is a lesson of gratitude and discretion
You've got to turn to God when you're asking yourself this question
Where do you go when it's all going bad?
Who do you look to when you don't know the path?
With all your plans getting folded back
You took an L and you're holding that
Drowning in the lake of your lonely past
Filled with all the tears you've been holding back
How do you make it out with your soul intact?
I need some answers because it's going bad
