Lyrics
Can I hit pause?
Expressing a desire to pause or take a break from life's challenges.
Can we just stop?
Seeking a momentary stop or respite from current circumstances.
I feel like I might drop and fumble the bag
Feeling overwhelmed and on the verge of failure, risking losing opportunities.
I used to cop and never look at a tag
Reflecting on a time when purchases were carefree, contrasting with the current financial struggle.
Now it's check to check
Living paycheck to paycheck, facing financial challenges.
Cuz I ordered them dunks with a fuzzy check
Referring to buying shoes with a questionable financial situation.
What did I eat today?
Questioning basic daily activities and possibly neglecting self-care.
Why I can't think today/
Experiencing difficulty with cognitive function or focus.
I woke up at 6 today
Describing a morning without an alarm but with internal struggles.
No alarm
Spontaneous waking without a scheduled alarm.
I just tossed and turned until my eyelids opened
Struggling to embrace new opportunities and possibilities.
I'm trying to be open to the possibilities
Expressing openness to new experiences despite inner doubts.
But I feel like they ain't feeling me
Feeling misunderstood or unappreciated by others.
The dread of leaving school with no job security was really sending me
Expressing fear of graduating without job security.
Like shit I'm kinda scared,
Acknowledging fear while maintaining a nonchalant attitude.
At the same time I don't care
Highlighting societal pressure to work for survival.
Cuz they breeding us to work and they working us to live
Reiterating the repetitive and demanding nature of the work-life cycle.
They just breeding us to work and they working us to live
-They just breeding us to work and they working us to live
-Can I hit pause?
Repeating the desire to pause, emphasizing the urge to escape.
Can we just stop?
-I feel like I might drop
-Off the face of the earth
-Won't drop no pin
Choosing to disconnect from social and professional obligations.
I'm finna be off the grid
-Why I can't get rid of these thoughts?
Struggling with intrusive thoughts, relationships, enemies, and problems.
Can't get rid of these hoes
-Can't get rid of these foes
-Can't get rid of these woes
-Finna start throwing some bows
Expressing frustration and a desire to confront challenges aggressively.
Get erratic and start spazzing
-Cuz these niggas won't stop capping
-I've been feeling like Alladin
Identifying with being unique and valuable despite challenges.
A diamond in the rough
Refusing to give in during difficult times, cultivating resilience.
I can't fold when shit gets tough
-I've been trynna act real buff
-But it feel like I'm at war
Feeling a sense of conflict and uncertainty about self-protection.
Like should I keep it tucked?
-Like who can I trust?
-Who can I trust ?
Repeating the question of trust, highlighting a lack of reliable connections.
Who can I run to?
Expressing uncertainty and confusion about the direction to take.
Why I'm running, I don't know
-Said I don't know, I don't know
Underscoring uncertainty but acknowledging the need to move forward.
But I know I gotta go
-Said I don't know, I don't know
-But I know I gotta go
-Gotta keep on running now I can't fall behind
Emphasizing the necessity of continuous effort despite mental burdens.
Gotta keep on running so much shit on my mind
-Gotta keep on running now I can't fall behind
-Gotta keep on running so much shit on my mind
Enduring a constant mental struggle and needing to persevere.
All the time
Reflecting on the perpetual feeling of time slipping away.
Feel I'm wasting time
Feeling pressured by time, always working hard but questioning achievements.
I'm always on the grind
-But what I got to show for it?
-Man I need to pack out a show for it
Considering the need for public recognition and career advancement.
Think I also might need to start chauffeuring
-But once I get a chance shit it's over with
Acknowledging the potential for success if given an opportunity.
Nigga once I get a chance shit it's over with
-I don't know, I don't know but I know I gotta go
Reiterating uncertainty about the future but emphasizing the need to move forward.
I don't know, I don't know but I know I gotta go
