On my mind when I wake up

All my time try to take up

If I could save up money like worry

I'd be a rich man , but sorrow would plague much

I done made up the fiction

That I'm a center of a system causing the day rust

Center stage and a monologue play of

Me in the audience, all in my make up

What a view when it's all for the show

Assuming that I'm doing what you already know

I think I'm in the middle of a palm heavy globe

Everybody trying to steal what I already own

But oh, in this life we are all but alone

The feeling that you are is a problem, condone

The sunlight hit the spotlight that we hold

Like it's one light that we cuff tight 'til it's gone

One candle on the cake, tryna take it

Souls set sail on a race, tryna take wind

We are all faves in the chips that we placin'

Better build self, anybody else cave in

So I'm holding onto pressure like it's all mine

That ain't sweat, it's just the way I keep the floor shine

Everybody queued up in the long grind

Thinking that we next in the short line

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through

I got things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah

I want a lot more things

Biggie tried to tell me what a lot more bring

A headstrong man would take a lot more strain

Seeing pleasure in the presence of a lot more pain

It's like I'm in the plot of a horror flick scene

And I'ma run towards where I thought I heard screams

'Cause **** draw me like a self portrait

Blank paper, tryna fill it with a lot more green

Make life, and a life worth living

Is a life worth giving to a fight for dreams

When your schemes matter more than the next man's

And the next man's matter more than the rest and

We all forget that we are not all things

So I'ma take time in the line

All those behind me can chill

But if I was last , I'd probably be the first one to whine

For real

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through

I got things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah

We going through it

They going through it

I'm going through it

You going through it

We going through it

They going through it

I'm going through it

You going through it

We just want to matter more

Tryna be the matador in the pit of bull

Tryna gather our status to the masses

Lookin' at the glass like that's pitiful

I ain't seein' what you seein'

'Cause your problems ain't my problems, how you solve 'em, really I don't even care

Puttin' pressure on the shoulders that ain't really there

But I know you see it when you stare

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through

I got things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah

Things I'm going through, yeah
