Yeah, just another kid from the city tryna shine
From the city tryna shine
Yeah
What you see in him that you don't see in me?
I post game like it’s TNT
I never Shaq a Fool but I'm still I'm lower than I please to be
I’m from an era where you get to where you need to be
By putting in the work but nowadays it isn't easily done
I know we work on the craft
Is there a heaven for us hip-hop heathens that still didn't crack?
Always think the next track is the best track
But then you got Lil *errrrt* blowing up bigger than a meth lab
I guess we blame it on the bad breaks or bad beats
My card was holding up until the river made my hand weak (I'm all in)
So do I fold or do I bluff until I'm getting what I'm owed'
I've almost emptied out my bank roll so adios
Would you rather be an unknown or somebody that everybody knows for just being okay?
Clean your image when there's dirt on your name
It don’t ever really wash away
It don’t wash away
Oh, say what you gotta say
What would your father say if you shut up and bottled things
Oh oh, holding up a lot of weight
I can't cooperate, I’m going through a tidal way
Oh, say what you gotta say
You know your mama pray you save and make a lot of change
Oh oh, it's hard to save for a rainy day when every day's a rainy day
One foot in the door but my other foot fell through the floor
In between this future me and the man from before
The past I try to ignore always surfaces eventually
Momma moved to Florida, was fucking with me mentally
In hindsight it was bittersweet
‘Cause I moved in with my pops and we shared our final memories
And then he had to go
I think he knew his time was coming and I had to grow
This ain't the life that I dreamed about, or maybe it is
But when you dream you don’t think about the schemes, you get stuck in between
I got love for my team, always fucking with me
Mood swings got me on the verge of sanity
Am I a victim to my loyalty? (Yeah)
Am I proud of this man who's staring back at me? (Man in the mirror)
These questions drive me insane
Clean your image when there's dirt on your name
It don't ever really wash away
It don't wash away
Oh, say what you gotta say
What would your father say if you shut up and bottled things
Oh oh, holding up a lot of weight
I can't cooperate, I'm going through a tidal way
Oh, say what you gotta say
You know your mama pray you save and make a lot of change
Oh oh, it's hard to save for a rainy day when every day's a rainy day
What you want
What you need
Ayy, ayy, ayy
[?]
Ayy, ayy, ayy
It's just a rainy day
It's just a rainy day
