Lyrics

Yeah, as I apply pressure to the paper I'm writin' on
I realize everything that I been gettin' wrong
Craftin' bars so layered they hard to latch on
So I, slowly start liftin' my hand off the pad gone
But the less I apply, some other guy
Finna slide in and steal the whole spotlight
So why try?
But I can't have that nah, y'all can't have that
Another one hit wonder who barely can rap
I mean another dude risin' in the industry
Who isn't me, who isn't you with one song, maybe two
When people like us tryna make it, it's rough
Workin' nine to five, writin' all day, barely lookin' up
Hard to look to anyone else that ain't writin' themself
So the only real idol is the grind on the shelf
Do it again (do it again)
Do it again (do it again)
Lately, been spot checkin' who's who
Friends turn to "what can you do?"
Actin' like I'm just a bag to bag some weed
Treat me like supply when I'm needin' a lead
Funny hypocritical, yeah I admit it though
I send tracks out hopin' someone'll feel the flow
But they never hit back, words fall through cracks
Guess loyalty's only real on the apps
Now when I blow up don't hashtag my past
Don't hit me back with a "bro remember that?"
My pen been rememberin' where you been
All the fingers you ain't use just to type "amen"
You lacked that facts stacked don't act confused
Like I ain't introduce you to the shit I produced
If there's a next time, tell me it's trash say it direct
So I can ash this blunt and perfect what's next
Turn this melody into the remedy
Somethin' therapeutic for the whole damn city
For my peers before all these texts disappear
Like light in a deer's eyes right before the hit
Do it again
Ink drip, heartbeat skip
I been drownin' in the things I never said quick
Cold grip on my throat when the doubt hits
Tryna outrun shadows in a crowded crypt
They say pain make art mine just slit
Right through the page, where my fears all sit
If I fade too slow, let the world forget
I'll still carve my name in the emptiness
'Cause lately I've been tryna be better than yesterday
Tryna turn pressure into somethin' that'll resonate
And everybody talkin' like they know the way
But nobody walkin' on the road I paved
So I keep writin', keep fightin', keep goin'
Even when the whole world feels frozen
I just breathe, then bleed through the pen
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Do it again
