Lyrics

I been at my worst

I have experienced challenging times.

I been smoking on my weed some one take me to church

I've been using marijuana as a coping mechanism; I need guidance or support.

Blunt to the face

I smoke a marijuana joint alone.

I’m so high don’t think I’ll see another day

I am so intoxicated that I doubt I'll live to see another day.

And no one gonna care

I believe nobody will care about my struggles.

But I’m a outsider so I’ll be okay

I consider myself an outsider, and I believe I'll be fine on my own.

And y’all gon wait

Others will only express love and support when I'm no longer alive.

To show me love when I’m dead Lil boy it’s too late

People will regret not showing love while I was alive, but it will be too late.

How come I can’t get on

I wonder why I can't achieve success like others.

Everyone but not me

I feel overlooked; everyone else is succeeding except me.

I been grinding so hard

I've been working hard, but it seems like nobody cares about my efforts.

And they don’t care about me

People are indifferent to my struggles.

I tell myself I fell off

I convince myself that I've lost my touch, but others have given up on me.

But y’all just gave up on me

People have abandoned me, leaving me feeling neglected.

Left me in the back yard

I'm in a lonely place, but now I'm in a better situation represented by palm trees.

Now I’m seeing palm trees

My improvement is evident to everyone.

Everyone can clearly see

People actively contribute to my downfall.

They participate and breaking me

My city is unsupportive, making me want to leave.

My city don’t wanna see me win

I feel like a failure and want to escape my current situation.

Reasons why I really wanna leave

My perceived failures are the reasons I want to leave.

I think that I’m a failure and a flop

I believe I'm a failure, explaining my statement about falling off.

Reason why I say that I fell off

I don't expect to reach the previous level of excitement and popularity.

And I’ll never see that hype again

I hope for at least one top 10 hit to regain some success.

At least let me get a top 10 hit

I think that I’m a failure and a flop (repeated).

I think that I’m a failure and a flop

Reason why I say that I fell off (repeated).

Reason why I say that I fell off

And I’ll never see that hype again (repeated).

And I’ll never see that hype again

At least let me get a top 10 hit (repeated).

At least let me get a top 10 hit

I think that I’m a failure and a flop (repeated).

I been at my worst

Reiteration of being at the worst point in life.

I been smoking on my weed some one take me to church

Reiteration of using marijuana as a coping mechanism.

Blunt to the face

Reiteration of smoking a joint alone.

I’m so high don’t think I’ll see another day

Reiteration of feeling highly intoxicated.

And no one gonna care

Reiteration that nobody will care about the struggles.

But I’m a outsider so I’ll be okay

Reiteration of being an outsider and believing it'll be okay.

And y’all gon wait

Reiteration that others will show love only when the person is dead.

To show me love when I’m dead Lil boy it’s too late

Reiteration that people will regret not showing love while alive.

Been at my worst

Reiteration of being at the worst point in life.

I been smoking on my weed some one take me to church

Reiteration of using marijuana as a coping mechanism.

Blunt to the face

Reiteration of smoking a joint alone.

I’m so high don’t think I’ll see another day

Reiteration of feeling highly intoxicated.

And no one gonna care

Reiteration that nobody will care about the struggles.

But I’m a outsider so I’ll be okay

Reiteration of being an outsider and believing it'll be okay.

And y’all gon wait

Reiteration that others will show love only when the person is dead.

To show me love when I’m dead Lil boy it’s too late

Reiteration that people will regret not showing love while alive.
