Lyrics

Promises weighed more than the rent did, I
Kept receipts in my head, couldn't afford to forget shit
Used to talk future tense like it was currency
Spent years, broke off one day and uncertainty
Only see the outcome, never measure the distance it take
Nights with ambition brittle like ligaments strained
I sat with the doubt till it started to give shape
Learned to carry weight when nobody knew what I made
Sat with envy without impelling personalization
Watched the homies move ahead, forced recalibration
Instead of resentment, I sharpened application
Turned empty comparison into self-regulation
Started with lived experience, concrete visions
Counted all the nods, side glances, hidden intentions
Peep who gave a helping hand and who left mentions
Watched who kept word and those with inflated pretensions
I built it all entirely, grounded in reality
Spent life collecting lessons like garnering a salary
Learned to pick my battles with those that stayed for the view
Actions got confused, my intentions misconstrued
Absorbing all the echoes within my own reasoning
Tribulation gave flavor like I sprinkle in the seasoning
Missteps fermented into insights worth receiving
Mapping corners of my soul where growth began conceiving
Focused on enlightenment, perseverance, introspection
Test my own resolve without external projection
Assimilate how pressure bends when desire forms direction
Built it from the ground without an inner connection
I'ma stop at nothing till the dream's been achieved
Hesitation turned to fuel, let the doubt be deceived
Every setback was a contour that tightened the weave
Carve out my path beyond the cusp of my own belief
