Living Proof

Look, Aye **** see us in these studios and all'at and think all this shit for fun

They think it's all laughs and giggles and all'at

But they don't know the sacrifice it take that come wit' this shit

All the time spent, all the he money invested

On top of havin' people on the side askin' you for money and shit like that

Y'all don't know how it feel to have everybody depend on you

While you tryna chase a dream that ain't guaranteed, that shit expensive too

Got people callin' yo phone, sayin' they need some help, because they rent is due

And you don't even live there, so that shit don't make no sense to you

Every dollar you make, they try to take, So you spend on the stu'

Tryna compensate for all them years you ain't see yo vision through

Lookin' over yo shoulder when you walk outside, 'cause they tryna chip you too

Smile and make it all look easy, call this "Living Proof"

Label me grateful for every situation God placed me in

But I'd be Lyin' if I said I ain't doubt I was gone make it here

Cause every time I get a lil' faith, It get replaced wit' fear

Of never seein' the dreams, that I said I'd make appear

I pray for my own anger, 'cause Lord knows I'll take it there

And I don't want no more hoes, It's a dirty game and they ain't playin' fair

Bitches a set you up like you a lick, Make sure yo place is clear

Then send **** on missions, To take everything u placed in there

Its a cold and dirty game

And I'll kill over what I earned, so I been workin' on my aim

Which is to stay away from these suckas and get the fuck up out the way

Willin' to die over my pride, it's sad to say, but that's how we raised

I'm just tryna see some change, I'm just tryna see some difference

I been showin' I'm consistent, Now they tellin' me I'm gifted

And I don't beg to differ, they blessed just to get to witness

A **** that through music can vividly express his feelings

And make the people feel it

Y'all don't know how it feel to have everybody depend on you

While you tryna chase a dream that ain't guaranteed, that shit expensive too

Got people callin' yo phone, sayin' they need some help, because they rent is due

And you don't even live there, so that shit don't make no sense to you

Every dollar you make, they try to take, So you spend on the stu'

Tryna compensate for all them years you ain't see yo vision through

Lookin' over yo shoulder when you walk outside, 'cause they tryna chip you too

Smile and make it all look easy, call this "Living Proof"

I been fighting this inner urge to give this shit up daily

But I gotta people that wanna hear how I been feelin' lately

Plus I got **** I'm motivatin', But they won't even say it

But It feel good to know that my dreams done helped they inspiration

But tell me is **** Hatin'? or they just can't embrace it

It's kinda wild how I'm seein' the envy and I even made it

All them years feelin' left behind, Done really taught me patience

But Im a human, which mean I'm flawed, so I be feelin' anxious

Like **** I know, me and my bro, gone be rockin' hella stages

Pickin' up bag after bag, Deposits hittin' the savings

All them nights we spent in them Studios, **** really slavin'

But I love the freedom that it give, to release what I'm really thinkin'

And I got fans that love my music and everything I'm sayin'

But I got family that don't believe in my dream, So they don't even play it

But they quick to bring up my paper, That's they favorite statements

They invested in my income like they help me make it

Got me bottlin' pains, Steady Sippin' on emotion

In the Stu' for days, think this pressure keep him goin'

Said they never was there, How the fuck I'ma be open wit'em

How the fuck I'ma be open wit'em

Y'all don't know how it feel to have everybody depend on you

While you tryna chase a dream that ain't guaranteed, that shit expensive too

Got people callin' yo phone, sayin' they need some help, because they rent is due

And you don't even live there, so that shit don't make no sense to you

Every dollar you make, they try to take, So you spend on the stu'

Tryna compensate for all them years you ain't see yo vision through

Lookin' over yo shoulder when you walk outside, 'cause they tryna chip you too
