Lyrics
Out here chasing my dream, it feel like I'm so close
Expressing the pursuit of a dream and the feeling of being close to achieving it.
I was way too close to family, had to close that back door
Had to distance from family due to potential negative influences or betrayal.
Watched a * that I love, stab me in my back fold
Experienced betrayal from someone close and trusted.
I got lost in the jungle, was tryna take the back road
Met challenges while trying to find an alternative or unconventional path.
We was on top of the world, until them traps got closed
Success was hindered by unforeseen obstacles or difficulties.
Police took everything, I know that pain, my *
Personal experience with law enforcement resulting in loss and pain.
Every sense is like the streets, ain't been the same, my *
Life changed after a significant event related to the streets.
Walking alone, I been tryna dodge the rain, my *
Struggling alone, trying to avoid difficulties and challenges.
Did the shit I had to do, had no choice but to survive
Took necessary actions to survive, even if they were difficult or morally challenging.
Lord, forgive me for my sins, confessed it all in front of God
Seeking forgiveness for past wrongs through confession and prayer.
Probably could've asked for help, but I had too much pride
Chose independence over seeking help, possibly due to pride.
Hit them streets by myself, and I got scars on my side
Engaged in street life alone, resulting in physical and emotional scars.
I got scars on my head and on my hands, this shit hurt
Physical and emotional pain represented by scars on head and hands.
I got mud in my nails, I really got this out the dirt
Achieved success through hard work and overcoming challenges.
Did some shit that I can't say, I need to take my ass to church
Regretful actions that can't be openly discussed, contemplating redemption through church.
Lord, forgive me for my sins, I'm out here tryna make it work
Continued prayer for forgiveness and guidance while striving for success.
Oh, oh

Would you believe the ones you love, they ain't really gon' ride

My * bled out on that ground, now I see blood when I cry
Witnessed the death of a friend, causing emotional pain and tears.
I can't say I'm numb to death, cause that shit hurt when he died
Admits vulnerability to the pain of death despite attempts to desensitize.
I learned my lesson from that shit, I keep my gun on my side
Learned from a past loss, emphasizing the need for self-protection.
All this shit is for my family, I'm just tryna pave a way
Undertaking challenges for the sake of family and their future.
Know I be in and out of town, sometimes I'm in and out of state
Balancing family responsibilities with a transient lifestyle.
I'm barely picking up the phone, but this shit all part of the play
Isolating oneself for the sake of personal growth and success.
This shit all part of the plan, I promise we gon' find a way
Believes current challenges are part of a larger plan for success.
