Highs and Lows (feat. Rich Wrotes)

Im trying to fight through the tension full of highs and the lows Never cared for opinions kept my eyes on the road And Had to dig deep to get the life i was owed Had to cut a couple ties wasn't right for my soul Keeping tunnel vision Fighting for position Asking for forgiveness never asking for permission Trying to mend wounds and I'm giving it time And yet I keep my head up cause it's bigger than life Ocean water waves Turn the page in the book Another chapter written Trying to fit the description I wonder if its a curse from the slaves that they took I'm hoping that they listened Twenty Twenty convictions I'm just trying to pin it but couldn't I had to say something Sideways comments in driveways Missing the sidewalk and end up in our way We just trying to live don't even be in y'all way Too many patterns Coincidences Upped my defenses And built some fences Two years ago Saw too much bullshit to let it go Some cruel Intentions Things got expensive We saw it coming We learned the lessons From the game they play I been ducking off Trying to stay out the way Off the grid spend some time with the fam and my brothers kids Make up for some time missed Im trying to fight through the tension full of highs and the lows Never cared for opinions kept my eyes on the road And Had to dig deep to get the life i was owed Had to cut a couple ties wasn't right for my soul Keeping tunnel vision Fighting for position Asking for forgiveness never asking for permission Trying to mend wounds and I'm giving it time And yet I keep my head up cause it's bigger than life Ok I spent the last year trying get on my feet Was down bad never thought about admitting defeat Tell em read em and weep, I just needed my peace Music was home but I felt like ripping my lease Its like, I'm honest my problems don't end in solace Way too far from flawless and way too many hydraulics All these ups and downs and never seeing your harvest These are just the cycles of another starving artist I pray to God that see the garden of eden Ive gotten a little green like I got a garden in Sweden Ive guarded the bittersweet and i bit it when i was teething Regardless of what was said but success is really the sweetest Its kinda like a wedding cake, way too many layers Started giving flagrants cause its way too many lay ups Finally paid attention now it think its time they pay us I been paying dues now and it think its time they pay up
