Yeah, I'm really tryin' to shine Too much that I face, I take it one day at a time

This liquor that I taste, I chase it, then I'm feelin' fine

Just got me new laces, brand new cases stoppin' by

I'ma drink until it's finished Every single one until I've stuttered through my sentence

A lot of people tryna see me fail and never finished

But I'm not one to really worry, I'm collectin' interest

High as hell every day, yeah, I gotta send it

Don't you listen, since I wasn't youngin gifted, I never fit in

Trust me, I know they don't love me, tryna take it from me

Everything I earned while I was traveling through the country

All I ever wanted was these people just to love me

But they was so draining, sucking all my energy right from me

But I ain't one to stand around and watch them take it from me

Promise they won't touch me

Fire started, now it's flames

One moment you was in a cell and it all changed

I was colder than the Arctic on a summer day

Tryna show them all along that I ain't a game

Brace yourself, it's a wild ride, grab your chain

Hard to tell nowadays what's real and fake

Tired of bein' strung along by these evil things

I was lost, now I'm found, I won't be the same

It's time to elevate

I got a prize on my hip for any haters talkin' shit

Your name is next on my list

These basers frauds, they just pose

Sold their souls for some hoes, I sold my last show for dope

Smokin' fire, pack no lows, built this shit on my own

I was just sittin' on my phone, writin' tracks on the low

And they never would've known if I had left that shit alone

When I felt so alone, all those nights they don't show

But they did take a toll, ain't like takin' a stroll

Had my face in the fold, took my shot and reloaded

Knew I was destined for greatness, was chosen

Christ was the light in my life, I was broken

All I wanted was to stand up and show him

Fire started, now it's flames

One moment you was in a cell and it all changed

I was colder than the Arctic on a summer day

Tryna show em' all along that I ain't a game

Brace yourself, it's a wild ride, grab your chain

Hard to tell nowadays what's real and fake

Tired of being strung along by these evil things

I was lost, now I'm found, I won't be the same

It's time to elevate

Everywhere you look in this world, wherever there is light

There will always be shadows to be found as well

As long as there is a concept of victors

The vanquished will also exist

Yeah, I'm really tryin' to shine

Too much that I face, I take it one day at a time

This liquor that I taste, I chase it, then I'm feelin' fine

Just got me new laces, brand new cases stoppin' by

I'ma drink until it's finished

Every single one until I stutter through my sentence

A lot of people tryna see me fail and never finish

But I'm not one to really worry, I'm collectin' interest

High as hell everyday, Yeah I gotta send it

Don't you listen, since I was youngin' gifted

I never fit in

Trust me, I know they don't love me
