Lonely
Emotional Journey: Battling Loneliness Amidst Success
Lyrics
Never thought I'd make it this far
Expressing surprise at personal achievement and reaching an unexpected point in life.
I've got everything I want & more
Acknowledging material success and having everything desired.
Now they starting to show me some support
Receiving recognition and support from others.
But I still be feelin Lonely, ya
Despite external success, still experiencing a sense of loneliness.
I stay lonely I stay lonely I stay lonely, ya
Reiterating the persistent feeling of loneliness despite external appearances.
They don't know me they don't know me they don't know me yet
-I stay lonely I stay lonely I stay lonely, ya
-I stay lonely I stay lonely
-In this big ol world still feel alone, I lose my hope sometimes
Feeling alone in the vast world, occasional loss of hope.
I don't know if I'll reach all my goals before the time I die
Uncertain about achieving life goals before death.
Thinking bout a lot, I do not wanna let my people down
Weighing the responsibility not to disappoint loved ones.
Rest in peace to Jake, I really wish that he could see me now
Tribute to someone named Jake who is no longer present, expressing a desire for their acknowledgment of current success.
Ice on my chain, to match with my heart
Symbolizing the contrast between external appearances (ice on the chain) and internal emotions (heart).
Ain't playing no games, I'm playing my part
Emphasizing dedication and seriousness in life, not engaging in trivial activities.
Don't need the fame, I'm chasing the guap
Rejecting the pursuit of fame, prioritizing financial success (guap).
It's been this way since the start
Consistently following a certain path since the beginning.
All of this pain inside of my heart,
Expressing deep emotional pain.
Turn it to art when I'm feelin hurt
Transforming internal pain into artistic expression.
Nowadays they say they seein my worth
Acknowledging that people now recognize the speaker's value.
But they wont see my worth 'til I'm off of this earth
Emphasizing that true recognition may only come after the speaker's death.
'Til I'm off of this earth
Desire for respect even after death, frustration at the lack of acknowledgment.
Won't show respect 'til I'm up in a hearse
-It get on my nerves,
Frustration at people's actions getting on the speaker's nerves.
Smile in my face & they fake behind curtains
People pretending to be friendly while hiding their true feelings.
I don't got time for that shit, I ain't worried
No time for deceitful behavior, not worried about it.
Run up a check while they plotting & lurkin
Continuing to focus on personal success despite others' negative intentions.
Hatin on this, you should play your position
Advising others to know their place and not criticize the speaker.
When you come up they gon hate how you livin
Anticipating jealousy and criticism as one rises to success.
Lonely
Reiterating the enduring feeling of loneliness despite external changes.
