Lyrics
Just to feel like I had it I faked the way I move
Feeling a need for success, pretended in my actions to project confidence.
Expectancy weighing heavy I felt I had to prove
Pressure from expectations felt burdensome, believed I needed to prove myself.
Thought I ain't deserve love cause you'd disapprove
Thought I didn't deserve love due to potential disapproval.
Any discrepancy on me I went and had removed
Eliminated any flaws or inconsistencies in myself to avoid criticism.
I felt that I was getting further from my destination
Perceived distance from my goals.
I felt that I ain't gon make it that was my estimation
Believed I wouldn't succeed, estimating failure.
Emotions stacking daily on me like some permutations
Emotions accumulating daily, creating complex feelings.
I lost the spirit within me I stuck with imitation
Lost my true self, stuck with imitation to fit in.
I was chasin the fame
Prioritized pursuing fame.
I was running from pain
Escaping and avoiding emotional pain.
I was looking for the sun but I was scared of the rain
Seeking happiness but fearing challenges.
I thought I could do it solo that's a different dream
Thought I could achieve success independently, a mistaken belief.
We tryna go far so we'll need a team
Aspiring for success together, realizing the need for a team.
Come together we ain't grow apart
Emphasizing unity, avoiding division.
Bullseye like we throwing darts
Aiming accurately, succeeding in my endeavors.
Up on the mic how the flow gets me charting
Exceling in music, gaining recognition.
When you down, see who stays who departing
Testing loyalties during difficult times.
I need routine to keep me going
Dependent on routine to maintain momentum.
Afro beat but rap how I'm flowing
Blending Afro beat with rap in my artistic expression.
I was full throttle to the bottom
Initially moving fast but redirected by spiritual signs.
But the cross sent signs & now to the top where I'm going
Transitioning towards success despite challenges.
Warm hearted but cold what I'm showing
Appearing warm-hearted but keeping a cold exterior.
No sugar but the pockets Samoan
No sweetness in demeanor, but financially stable.
It's a lonely road when you solo and rowing
Solitary journey when working alone and facing challenges.
So keep the fam close when it's snowing
Emphasizing the importance of family support during tough times.
I was chasin the fame
Repeat: Prioritizing pursuit of fame.
I was running from pain
Repeat: Escaping and avoiding emotional pain.
I was looking for the sun but I was scared of the rain
Repeat: Seeking happiness but fearing challenges.
I thought I could do it solo that's a different dream
Repeat: Thought I could achieve success independently, a mistaken belief.
We tryna go far so we'll need a team
Repeat: Aspiring for success together, realizing the need for a team.
Come together we ain't grow apart
Repeat: Emphasizing unity, avoiding division.
Bullseye like we throwing darts
Repeat: Aiming accurately, succeeding in my endeavors.
Up on the mic how the flow gets me charting
Repeat: Exceling in music, gaining recognition.
When you down, see who stays who departing
Repeat: Testing loyalties during difficult times.
I'm always gonna love you no matter what
Expressing enduring love regardless of circumstances.
You're' the best thing in my life
Acknowledging the significant positive influence in my life.
But until you start believing in yourself
Encouraging self-belief for a fulfilling life.
You ain't gonna have a life
Highlighting the importance of self-confidence for a meaningful existence.
