lyrics

I think this is the year for me
Less and less you'll probably hear from me
Cause all my old friend's have been dropping like flies, but they probably never cared for me
And yeah I started picking up that book again, reading some stories that you'd probably see on CNN
Talking how it's impossible or illogical for someone to do that again, but I guess it's how you see it then
Now go down first then hook up right
Fighting off nightmares that can keep you up at night
Buy into the lies, lying in a bed of lies
Boy, you'll fall for anything if you don't keep your game up tight
It's a strategy, something that just had to be
Honestly, I hate it when anybody is mad at me
But if I don't know you, then you distant, your opinion is indifferent
Cause really you mad at you for not being me

I got doors unlocked and keys on deck
Hallway of relativity, well what did you expect
And when I go, I still remain here, just like King Tut
I'ma do this thing for me

To try to impress who for what?
Saying I don't make the cut
And this is how I do it with ambition and integrity
That's almost a guarantee
I'ma do it with no if, ands, or buts
To try to impress you for what?
And if I ever fall then I haven't failed, I just gotta get up and go hard like I'm tryna lose a gut

Liars will go and put the blame on you
Watching somebody hurt might just put the pain on you
Or even worse, you feel the pressure from being lesser
Can't catch up to everybody, but it might just be the same for you
And did you find what you were looking for?
Cause most of us don't even know what we be looking for
Instead we go around in circles like the running man
But two are better together like a venn diagram
Yeah, there's more to life than just complaining
Fussing about how you missed the mark, but where you aiming?
So many lions that I'm taming, I'm the death of the party leaving with way more than I came with
And why we so concerned on what we do or what we don't have
Until we end up with nothing and then we want half
But money ain't the wool so why bother what sheep cost
I count them all like my blessings so there's no sleep lost

Sometimes I think about American me, American you
How do I fit in society? What's inside of you?
Just don't lose sight of what you could be
Give nothing less than your best

And yet, they still tryna stress you for what?
Saying I don't make the cut
And this is how I do it with ambition and integrity
That's almost a guarantee
I'ma do it with no if, ands, or buts
To try to impress you for what?
And if I ever fall then I haven't failed, I just gotta get up and go hard like I'm tryna lose a gut

The world's mine, I see you in it
This life ain't a joke but I hope you get it
They say to stay in my lane but it's my highway
We getting thriller by night then grinding by day
This is my master quest, my RPG
You see a star in daylight, you know you seeing me
And just a word of advice, endurance is the key
I know there's a purpose

But you say this ain't my destiny for what?
Saying I don't make the cut
And this is how I do it with ambition and integrity
That's almost a guarantee
I'ma do it with no if, ands, or buts
To try to impress you for what?
And if I ever fall then I haven't failed, I just gotta get up and go hard like I'm tryna lose a gut
