Lyrics
What if I never made it out of my sleep
Contemplating the consequences if the person never woke up
Would you believe that I'm free
Questioning if others would recognize the freedom
Feeling close but still far out of reach
Feeling emotionally close but physically distant
Feeling pain only way it'll teach
Learning through pain as a form of education
Had to learn from the streets
Gaining life lessons from experiences in the streets
Never meek still be chasing these dreams
Not timid, still pursuing ambitions and aspirations
Empty promises did it for my mom and them
Making promises, possibly unfulfilled, for loved ones
Broke me to my knees still somehow you gave me confidence
Despite hardships, gaining confidence through resilience
We was never seen so we feen to be the prominent
Striving for visibility and prominence despite being overlooked
Can't relate to niggas hard to fit in like a ottoman
Difficulty relating to others, feeling out of place
Sometimes I want to talk to God we'd probably hit it off
Desire to communicate with God
But why you leave me with the flaws I'm trying break em' all
Questioning why flaws were given but determined to overcome them
Now I'm staring in the mirror bigging up myself
Building self-confidence and self-affirmation
Fearing nothing no emotion that I haven't felt
Confronting fears and embracing emotions
I know my day coming still on pace running
Confident that success is approaching while maintaining pace
Was on my humble shit now I stay stunting
Transitioning from modesty to displaying success
Royal rumbling that bitch stay coming
Continuous struggle but resilient in facing challenges
Street sweeper flow that bitch stay dumping
Asserting strength and power in expression
Sometimes I wonder what's the purpose in life
Reflecting on life's purpose and meaning
Rell told me you the light you getting brighter with time
Encouragement to shine brighter over time
Got to shine no matter what I never waited for mine
Not waiting for opportunities, actively pursuing them
Complain I never had a chance I had to swallow my pride
Adapting without complaining, swallowing pride
Heart cold riding slow roll a dice hit a four
Remaining emotionally guarded and taking chances cautiously
Any loss I bet it back cause we been there before
Recovering from losses and persevering despite setbacks
Momma crying on the phone she say I'm barely at home
Mother expressing concern about absence
Orange bottles on the floor house was barely a home
Challenging upbringing with a chaotic household
Seeking peace don't get it twisted and quiet on the rocket
Seeking tranquility despite external chaos
Pulling up and then we twist it but we ain't playing Bop It
Indulging in substances for relaxation but not engaging in childish behavior
Grew up with some niggas never thought about a college
Growing up without aspirations for higher education
Seeing me balling feeling guilt cause they never had an option
Feeling guilt for succeeding when friends had limited choices
Brady to these hoes never running out of option
Comparing relationships to the success of a renowned athlete
Running through you niggas really feeling like I'm Dobbins
Feeling superior to others, akin to a successful athlete
Too much going on this weighing on my chest
Overwhelmed by burdens and worries
Too much holding on I'm still praying for the best
Remaining hopeful despite enduring hardships
If I don't do it it ain't getting done
Believing in self-reliance to accomplish tasks
Tried to hang us out to dry like we ain't have the same drum
Feeling abandoned or disregarded by others
Pockets stuffed I whip a pie asking for my bread crumbs
Asserting rightful ownership and demanding recognition
Like we ain't in the same line like we ain't from the same slums
Noticing societal divisions and inequalities
I guess I handle mine had to visualize see the better skies
Visualizing a better future despite challenges
No limit to these soldiers we just up and mobilized
Unlimited dedication and readiness to mobilize for a cause
Learning all these lessons really blessings they just in disguise
Realizing the value in disguised life lessons
And eating off your breakfast getting breaded hold the pork aside
Benefiting from others' losses or mistakes
My pain different I'm cut from the cloth
Experiencing unique pain and struggles
The same cloth ripped and scarred up on Calvary Rock
Referencing shared suffering and resilience
And I ain't never had to tell it ask the word about me
Having a reputation or presence that speaks for itself
Walk in rooms you know they felt it
Leaving a noticeable impact or impression
Guess they got the message
Conveying a message without directly stating it
