Lyrics
Infatuated with success
Expressing strong admiration or love for success.
My mama told me whatever you do you be your best
Advice from the speaker's mother to always strive for the best.
It's hard for me to open up cause that brings upon the stress
Difficulty in being emotionally vulnerable due to the associated stress.
And the ones that claim they love you man hurts you more or less
Caution about the potential harm from those who claim to love you.
My brother just passed away
Mention of the speaker's brother's recent death.
I dedicate these songs to him
Dedicating the songs to the deceased brother.
Everyday I lie awake
The speaker struggles with insomnia, thinking about the loss.
And I really mourn for him
Expressing deep mourning and sorrow for the deceased brother.
Came along way from sleeping on park benches
Reflecting on a challenging journey from homelessness to a better place.
Carried trash bags a divine intervention
Describing a difficult past, possibly involving divine intervention.
Uh
Pause or transition in the narrative.
See I was reeking
Indicating a state of smelling bad or emitting an unpleasant odor.
Hardly ever sleeping
Experiencing sleep deprivation during challenging times.
Had to watch my back cause all I did was fight my demons
Facing constant challenges and the need to confront personal demons.
And all I had was demons
Being surrounded by internal struggles or negative influences.
And everyday I'm leading
Continuously setting an example for others during difficult times.
As an example when you down and out bleeding
Leading by example even when facing adversity.
I down some liquor just to numb the pain
Using alcohol to cope with emotional pain.
But this death is getting closer man this shit really insane and
Expressing disbelief or shock at the increasing proximity of death.
I don't think about it but it's always on my brain and
The constant awareness of death occupies the speaker's thoughts.
When I think about it it's gets harder to maintain
Thinking about death makes it challenging to maintain composure.
I can do without the pain
Expressing a desire to live without emotional pain.
I can do without the pain
Reiterating the wish to avoid suffering.
But suffering is needed cause in life it's everything I
Recognizing the necessity of suffering in life.
Celebrate these victories and vividly I'm brave I
Celebrating achievements in life and embracing bravery.
Cried so many tears just to be standing here today I
Reflecting on the emotional struggles that led to the present moment.
Never lost
Emphasizing a history of not giving up or experiencing defeat.
And there's more to gain
Highlighting the ongoing pursuit of more positive experiences.
You don't know the biggest smile that this puts on my face
Expressing joy and gratitude for personal growth.
And for the days I was lost and afraid I
Reflecting on past struggles and moments of fear.
Was destined for the greatness but didn't know faith was
Awareness of a destined path for greatness and the role of faith.
A mile from the ways that I came from
Referencing a considerable distance from past struggles.
What I felt was so grateful and I felt I was weightless
Feeling immense gratitude and a sense of weightlessness.
I'm a star cause my shine is contagious
Considering oneself a star with a positive and contagious influence.
My brightness will blind you
Asserting a blinding brightness that surpasses negativity.
Take back all the hate, do I need to remind you
Encouraging a rejection of hate and a reminder of one's worth.
Amen
Ending with an affirmation or prayer for positive outcomes.
Whatever you need
Offering support and assistance to those in need.
If passion is something you bleed
Encouraging dedication and commitment to one's passions.
Then be willing to give it your all
Stressing the importance of giving one's best in pursuit of passion.
To the only ones who loves you for you
Directing the dedication of effort to those who truly love and accept you.
