Navigating Change: Benji Armstrong's Reflection on Growth and Distance
Lyrics
We were once two niggas of the same kind, same grind
We were once two individuals of the same background, sharing similar struggles and goals.
We was puttin' in the work, destined for the shine
We were putting in hard work, destined to achieve success and recognition.
And back at the time
Referring to a past period.
All we ever wanted was a heavy dinner
Our aspirations were simple – to have a substantial meal.
And then we grew apart
We drifted apart over time.
You probably don't remember
The other person may not recall or acknowledge our past closeness.
Now the whole shit's changed, we don't even kick it
Now, everything has changed, and we no longer spend time together.
Got a meal plan the other day, the college livin'
Recently adopted a meal plan, indicating a shift in lifestyle, possibly due to college commitments.
I've been chillin' like a villain
I've been relaxed and carefree, like a villain enjoying life.
I've been dealin' with some feelings without a shoulder to cry
Dealing with emotions without having someone to confide in or seek support from.
I've been ready to fly, even if I hit the ceiling
Feeling prepared to pursue my dreams, even if it means facing obstacles.
I've been living to die, but i'm tryna make a killing
Living life with the awareness of mortality but striving for success and financial gain.
But they wonder why I
Others are curious about why I
Keep people at a distance
Keep my distance from people, possibly to protect myself emotionally.
I've been "wrong" in every mention, every instance
I've been criticized or judged in every situation or mention, every time.
Not to mention i've been "going missing"
Noteworthy that I've been frequently "going missing" or emotionally unavailable.
I'm just working on the craft
Focusing on honing my skills and talents.
I'm just tryna rack some stats
Striving to achieve notable statistics or accomplishments.
Like they scoutin' for the draft
Similar to a sports scout looking for talent, I'm working to stand out.
Charge it to the game
Accepting life's challenges as part of the game.
Imma live and maintain
Planning to live and sustain, not just survive.
Imma grind to see a change for us
Committing to hard work in order to witness positive change for both of us.
