Lyrics
Waking up to seem alright
Expressing the act of waking up and appearing fine on the surface.
Gotta try to look alive
Highlighting the effort to maintain an outward appearance of vitality.
I dont wanna be denied
Expressing a desire not to be rejected or ignored.
In front of your face right
Suggesting a confrontation or truth directly in front of someone.
My friends drink down to the bottom
Friends indulging in excessive drinking.
I thought way back I had lost em
Recalling a past perception of losing friends.
They learnin same way that I done
Friends learning life lessons similar to the speaker's experiences.
I never lost you
Asserting the speaker never lost a particular person.
My friends look down on the bottle
Friends facing challenges related to alcohol consumption.
I thought way back they had lost it all
Revisiting the idea of friends losing everything in the past.
They learnin how to win battles
Friends learning how to overcome difficulties and succeed.
I never lost you
Stating the speaker never lost a specific person.
Planning out my life
Engaging in life planning.
Keep panning out the sides
Continuing to explore different aspects of life.
It aint the same as I
Expressing a realization that life is not unfolding as desired.
Wanted it to be
Reflecting on the disparity between expectations and reality.
You keep on tryin
Encouraging perseverance despite challenges.
And ill keep on dying to wait
Expressing a willingness to endure difficulties while waiting for divine intervention.
On God to come I was born again
Referencing a spiritual rebirth after waiting for God.
I wanna see
Expressing a desire to witness and experience everything.
Everything I could be
Desire to fulfill one's full potential.
You tryna get there overnight
Acknowledging the impossibility of achieving goals overnight.
Im so sorry cuz that won’t fly
Apologizing for the impracticality of expecting immediate success.
Waking up to seem alright
Repeating the theme of waking up and trying to appear fine.
Gotta try to look alive
Continuing the effort to project vitality.
I dont wanna be denied
Reiterating the desire not to face rejection.
In front of your face right now
Emphasizing the immediate nature of confronting a situation.
My friends drink down to the bottom
Reiteration of friends engaging in heavy drinking.
I thought way back I had lost em
Revisiting the fear of losing friends in the past.
They learnin same way that I done
Friends learning from experiences similar to the speaker's.
I never lost you
Reaffirming the speaker's retention of a specific person.
My friends look down on the bottle
Friends facing challenges associated with alcohol.
I thought way back they had lost it all
Recalling past perceptions of friends losing everything.
They learnin how to win battles
Friends acquiring the skills to overcome difficulties and succeed.
I never lost you
Restating the speaker's assertion of not losing a particular person.
