Lyrics
I've been on my own, no I ain't ever tryna link
I've been independent, avoiding connections.
I remember days I got water out the sink
Recalling times when I had to get water from a sink, symbolizing humble beginnings.
Never thought that I could turn around and pick out what I drink
Never imagined I could choose my own path, even in selecting what to drink.
I was doing what they said and that shit push me to the brink
Following others' advice led me to a breaking point.
Had to make a switch, eh
Had to make a significant change.
Turning out my lights and follow dark into the mist
Facing challenges and uncertainties, moving into the unknown.
I know its a waste of time, tell me what I missed
Acknowledging that dwelling on the past is unproductive.
You put a knife into head and try to fix it with a kiss
Describing a failed attempt to fix a problem with a superficial gesture.
Its a bliss, you so ignorant, I hope you have that better life
Ironically calling ignorance bliss and wishing for a better life for someone.
I made it happen for myself, only a matter of time, only a matter of mind
Self-made success, a result of time and mindset.
Talking money while you looking for dimes
Criticizing those who focus on small gains while wealthier opportunities exist.
Nightcrawler with a body of shine
Being active and vibrant during the night.
Looking up until you looking inside
Searching within oneself for answers.
How did I know so much and so many things by the age of 17
Pondering how one gained vast knowledge by a young age.
How'd I make it here without a scratch, man I had to bleed
Acknowledging personal struggles and sacrifices to reach a certain point.
Talking that shit like he be this and that, you don't know me
Rejecting false claims about the speaker.
You tryna look me up when you a hunnid rounds deep, eh
Highlighting that scrutiny comes too late when the speaker has faced numerous challenges.
I've been on my own, no I ain't ever tryna link
Reiterating a preference for independence.
I remember days I got water out the sink
Reflecting on past struggles with humility.
Never thought that I could turn around and pick out what I drink
Expressing surprise at the ability to choose freely.
I was doing what they said and that shit push me to the brink
Emphasizing that following external advice led to a breaking point.
How can I explain it?
Pondering how to explain a situation.
You've been wasting time and sitting around and getting faded
Observing wasted time and the consequences of excessive indulgence.
Say you got a dream to buy a house with shiny gates, but why dropping every single dollar that you making?
Questioning the contradiction of having a dream but not managing finances wisely.
Now they all just wanna know what's in my head
Others curious about the speaker's thoughts.
I gave you everything so tell me why you been upset?
Wondering why despite giving everything, there is discontent.
It's another problem that just come with being blessed
Acknowledging that blessings come with their own set of problems.
Like, ain't nobody real and you can feel it your chest, you know I
Expressing a sense of isolation due to a perceived lack of authenticity in others.
I've been on my own, no I ain't ever tryna link
Reiterating the preference for independence.
I remember days I got water out the sink
Recalling past struggles with humility.
Never thought that I could turn around and pick out what I drink
Expressing surprise at the ability to choose freely.
I was doing what they said and that shit push me to the brink
Emphasizing that following external advice led to a breaking point.
