Lyrics

I’ll probably die iconic
Simply cause I’m knowing that this time ain’t
Promised
Peeling back the layers
Searching for the purpose
‘Till I find it
Deep beneath the surface
I was nervous
But at least I’m trying
Life is but a beach chair
Staring at the waves I go recline it
Simply cause my momma
Took them loans
I moved to Virginia
Maybe be a dentist
Or a doctor
Still I stick to rhyming
Still she never judged me
Praying every day
That we gon make it
Take it far beyond the coast
And high as Himalayans
Told her that they loved me
At the show
She said make sure they paying/
At least somebody paid attention/
Listen to the word I’m saying
Yeah
Aye
I’ll probably
Yeah
Look
I gotta live it honest
Probably cause my brothers
They the same as me
Was broke as hell
Split a biscuit for dinner
It ain’t the same to me
If you knew how many times
I pressed record
This ain’t no game to me
In the stu’ for hours
‘Till the verse of my life
Just came to me
You’d rather let these days go by
Shit that’s insane to me
To think this life
Was made to work
On the dreams
Of another man
The upper hand
The under dog
The gold blood
The Muddaland
For all the times they would
Never mind it
I’ll probably die iconic
Simply cause the thought of stopping
Never crossed my mind
Simply because a love like ours
You know it’s is hard to find
You know it’s us against the world
‘Till that bitch stop spinning
Told my dawgs follow the lead
And we won’t stop winning
God gave me grace
When I woke up
Bruh I ain’t stopped grinning
Trynna stop sinning
While the clock ticking
When the plot thicken
Can’t give into the fear
That’s when my patience thinning
On the freeway
Shifting gears
To the
Panoramic views
Under city lights
Illuminate the soul
You can’t shrivel just because they bright
How you gon’
Dream of touching clouds
And be afraid of heights?
Probably cause I rolled the dice
Probably ‘cause
I can’t look back on now
And still wonder why
