Lyrics
Thought it was me against the world til I realized it's you versus self
Realization that the struggle is internal, not against the world.
Competition ain't been nobody else
No external competition; the battle is against oneself.
Asked for help from higher powers with the cards I was dealt
Seeking help from higher powers despite challenging circumstances.
All mistakes and all the errors came from ways that I felt
Mistakes and errors originated from personal emotions.
Feeling low bout to break down
Feeling emotionally low and on the verge of a breakdown.
Like a baker all the focus on the cake now
Metaphorically focusing on success, like a baker focusing on a cake.
Losing grip and eating chips I'm outta shape now
Struggling, losing control, and neglecting physical health.
From a kid man the world is a different place now
Reflection on how the world has changed since childhood.
I'm tryna stay afloat
Striving to stay afloat amidst challenges.
But these waves always rock the boat
Facing constant challenges that disrupt stability.
Wanna see you fall down back to back like dominoes
Desire for others to fail but determined not to let it happen.
But the God don't ever let it
Belief in a higher power preventing failure.
Serpents gotta dead it
Resolving conflicts and eliminating negative influences.
Road of rags no riches start to wonder where you're heading
Starting from a challenging situation, questioning the future.
But in the end I'm like fuck it cuz truth be told gave me way more than I'll ever need
Gratitude for receiving more than needed despite challenges.
And from this concrete jungle I got a rose that I'll help to blossom from my seed
Nurturing a positive outcome from difficult circumstances.
And if I'm tryna make profit was never all for my pockets I ain't a man of greed
Pursuing profit without excessive greed.
Although I healed these scars there ain't no promise or guarantee that they'll never Bleed
Healed scars, but uncertainty about future wounds.
I'm only human take it day to day
Acceptance of humanity and living day by day.
Tryna make a way
Striving to find a path in life.
Use these words to help me illustrate
Using words to express and communicate personal struggles.
Dealt a lot of weight
Bearing a heavy burden of responsibilities.
All of these things I carry on my plate
Juggling various challenges and responsibilities.
Foot up on the base
Asserting a position or claim.
But It feel like I ain't ever safe
Feeling constantly vulnerable and unsafe.
Like I been lacking the stride
Lacking momentum or confidence.
Like the hunger ain't been growing getting harder to hide
The hunger for success is diminishing and hard to conceal.
Promised that I'd never quit more than worthy to try
Commitment to persist despite external negativity.
Started believing all they words when they projected they lies
Vulnerability to believing and internalizing false statements.
So now it's back to basics
Returning to fundamental principles.
Tied up the laces
Preparing and getting ready.
No more feeling wrong for wanting prezzy blue faces
No longer feeling guilty for desiring material wealth.
Tryna break the code to go breaking out of the matrix
Attempting to break free from a confining environment.
Too much given power to be out here moving aimless
Acknowledging the responsibility that comes with power.
Clips with no stainless
Acknowledging the dangers and risks in life.
Life it ain't Painless
Life is not without pain and challenges.
If you give a fuck then gotta learn to be Shameless
Encouraging a fearless and bold approach.
Think you know it all then in a second it changes
Warning about the unpredictability of life.
Feel like the moon been thru all these different phases
Experiencing various phases, similar to the moon.
Keep on flipping pages
Continuously progressing and evolving.
Wonder why I search
Questioning the purpose and meaning of the search.
Feeling like I came out with this hunger out of birth
Feeling an innate hunger for success since birth.
Thankful every day for having feet up on this earth
Expressing gratitude for existence on Earth.
I don't know know how but found a way to make it work
Overcoming challenges and finding a way to succeed.
