Chorus:
I got no one else but me
If you just believe.
Follow your heart.
Follow your heart
Verse 1:
I’ve seen it all mo f***ah
Snake ass b*tches in the grass
Past self-thanking me!
I’ve learned to be at peace with my decisions
Swear to god it’s been minute
Since I reflected. Shells re-directed.
It’s funny how self reflection
Help understand the all messages
In your psyche thats telling you that
Sh*t’ll be okay…
No stranger to the stress
Aye, shit’ll be okay!
One time for the grinders.
9 to 5’s dope. Being honest
Clock work ain’t bad if you the rawest
Having pride in what you do is not what everybody got
But its free to people who always trust the process!
Aye, Uphill battles…
Ain’t nothing in the struggle that you can’t handle!
Have faith up in hell,
Have faith in your abilities
And faith in yourself.
No cap, like Bobby Shmurda
A bout a week a ago,
My God damn soul was hurting
Was tryna eat, then I noticed that
All The tables turning
Why do following your dreams
Be the biggest burden
But f*ck em nay sayers
Honestly they don’t determine
Where you headed
Pre-Chorus:
Where you headed?
Verse 2:
Follow your heart
If you don’t It’s never too late to start
Arm and a leg given to art
I beg you please never lose sight
I lost a homie 'cause he couldn’t tell the
Dark from the light just bare (bear) with me (:
I know it real hard to care, but care with me
I play the role of visionary
I carry grief but failure is more scary to me
PTSD, blockin' the purpose
But I’m for certain That the my real ones
pull me to surface
Was in immersed in all my hurting
But that turned me into the person
Who killing sh*t now
I’ve learned to make it happen, even if I live with doubt
That’s the quality of life when gettin’ it all done
Credit to the day the day credit to the man above
Credit…to all my failures. Credit to the day ones
Lotta people taking L’s cause they forget about the love
In what they do man
Due man. I was on em food stamps
Was in the struggle growing up, but this a newsflash
STRAIGHTUP J-E-D Ready to pay his dues back
and Ima new man,

“You into this?”

Smoke to the lungs. Smoke leave my mind
Still smoke in the room. Bleed through my eyes
Took a heartbreak just to re-align
Took a heart break be back in 5
Roll another, blaze up. Pass the time
To the left. Everybody has they vice
To the left. We all take hits, that’s fine
To the left left left

Verse 1:
Yeah it's just day the day for me
I don’t expect ya to understand or wait for me
I don’t expect ya to get me truly I ain’t sorry
I don’t expect ya to resonate with my Life story
But it’s cool if you do
I ain’t tripping, 'cause I know we ain’t cut from same root
My life a tragedy I could paint the whole town blue
But that, just how it be
When you’ve rocked with the same truth
That coincides with your identity,
There’s only one you
I got some homies from the streets
some my homies living with views
Yet we vibing all the same, 'Cause of the music on the cue
Used f*ck with everybody now I only f*ck with few
Cause I could smell the ingenuine fumes from the other room
Like damn crack a window
Sleeping with demons Ima need myself a pillow
And blanket for this cold cold world
Hope you understand my pain
Cause I’m broken ass dude, but it’s chill tho aye
501 flows Dededo, Kaiser
Roadrunner, now I’m seeing dough in the horizon
I grew up pretty ill, if you know me
Young snooze grew up in the Vill i was brodie
Living in this box, till the love for the music showed me
That the world is yours and now I’m making bops close to the shore
What all this for? I don’t really know,
But at least my heart fulfilled and furreal I’m out for more
More In store like a Mom & Pop
Making songs hotter than empanadas we in stock
King car sipping, no tripping, man we keep it raw
All I got is a dolla all my weed and my DAW
Chorus:
All the walks of life
I hold em dear
I don’t live with spite
I live with fear
‘Cause with me it the norm
‘Cause With me it the norm
Momma used to work graveyard,
Father dead to me, ain’t no graveyard
Could ever save me from the trauma
Remember all of the times we was hurting
Broken home, but at least I could feel like
I deserve to eat my fruits of labor
I do no favors. I am the alpha,
Ain’t no debating when you get the paper
Lotta these people ego trippin,
Like they need to lace up
And they always lyin' in lies I be the lion tamer
Remember mama praying
She Tryna make it work the sight of her crying living
In my head rent free, couldn’t afford to
Live this life, with not thinking bout the bills
Peeking in her room, don’t know what to feel
Seeing tears running down her cheek un--
--certainty was the norm but so was God too,
Had to be strong, cause being strong was all we got
New problems everyday
Knew about it but we stayed
Level headed kept the love
Kept the positivity
Yeah mama I know, and mama I know
That this life come wit trials and tribulations
I wanna make you proud of me

I FOUND
03:04

Chorus:
I found peace, but I still can’t find enough
I got weed smoke, overthinking every puff
Verse 1:
Coffee on the table
Confusion on the daily
Maybe I should leave it all
Lose communication
With all my indirect causes of pain
All my indirect problems show face
At the worst times. Blurred lines
Ain’t no Robin thicky (Thicke) I’m furreal (Pharrel) I
Need another picture perfect moment and some film I
Took a snapshot of non-existent feels I
See that healing's not linear
Walking on a tight rope
Hard to swallow pills when
When the pain kills off
All the f*cks you were giving
Made ya get the best of me before. Forgiven!
Before you came and went,
You were Love's definition
But it’s all…good. Baby baby, Hima-laying
Pink salt on the wounds you were tasteless
I would wear a mask around ya fake ya contagious
I don’t mean to blow up baby I’m grenade fam, Damn!
But I don’t have it in me to hate so much much much (ayy)
Cause when ya soul feel empty you trust your gut gut gut gut (ayy)
And when ya on edge breathe in and out out out out (ayy)
I found peace, but i still can't find enough. Find "enough?"
Tell me where the days gone?
I barely feel pain no more
Im on the move
The more on the move
Things start looking up, looking up, looking up
Looking up, up, up, up
