Lyrics
I be striving for a change
I am actively seeking a positive transformation.
Am just tryna do my thing
I'm just pursuing my own goals and aspirations.
They wanna get me detained
Others want to see me arrested or held back.
But they know my name in the game ooh
Despite challenges, my name is recognized and respected in the industry.
Am tryna show them how my thing go
I aim to demonstrate how I operate and succeed.
We gon' glow more than rainbow
We will shine brightly, surpassing expectations.
Sometimes I find it hard to say no oo
Expressing difficulty in refusing or declining.
Am not tryna entertain no
I don't entertain unnecessary distractions.
I only show up if its necessary
I only participate when it is essential.
No hard feeling I don't want no body checking on me
No ill will, I prefer not to be monitored by others.
It took a while to realize their not for me
Realizing that certain people are not supportive.
They talking like they know what's good for me
Others speak as if they know what's best for me.
Now its getting harder than ever no matter the weather
Facing increased challenges regardless of circumstances.
Never switch on my men we got it together
Remaining loyal to my friends, facing difficulties together.
Ni ka elevator Ima climb up the ladder
Using an elevator metaphor to signify progress and upward movement.
It's another day I just be tryna do better
Each day is an opportunity for personal improvement.
So I don't tell them the truth cuz they don't know the worth
Choosing not to reveal the truth because others don't recognize my value.
An zagnla en ben she gu kam invest just for things to work
Investing effort and resources for things to succeed.
Anegla armed and dangerous like ima vet
Being skilled and dangerous like a veteran.
Several steps ahead of them they tryna contest
Being steps ahead of those trying to compete.
So I keep applying force
Continuing to apply effort and pressure.
Stop calling me your blood
Requesting not to be considered as close as family.
You scared you might fall
Suspecting others fear falling and needing help.
Am running out of love
Feeling a shortage of affection or support.
A lot is not enough
Achieving a lot but still feeling unsatisfied.
To me a lot is not enough
Having high standards, and a lot is not sufficient for me.
So you can say whatever but facts is facts
Regardless of opinions, facts speak for themselves.
Keep talking bad on me am glad
Finding satisfaction despite negative talk about me.
When I needed y'all non of you was there
No support when I needed it, and now others pretend to care.
Now everybody acting like they care
Originating from a challenging background but still shining like a diamond.
Am from the mud like diamond
Striving for positive change and improvement.
They wanna catch up with us but we far gone
Others want to catch up, but I am far ahead.
Pallizugu kan zoogi but that's not my home
Referring to a place that is not considered home.
Still in the streets but they need me at home
Balancing street life with responsibilities at home.
I be striving for a change
Reiteration of the desire for positive change.
Am just tryna do my thing
Continuing to pursue personal goals.
They wanna get me detained
Facing opposition and attempts to hinder progress.
But they know my name in the game ooh
Despite challenges, my name is recognized and respected in the industry.
Am tryna show them how my thing go
Continuing to showcase and demonstrate my capabilities.
We gon' glow more than rainbow
We will shine brighter than a rainbow, symbolizing success.
Sometimes I find it hard to say no oo
Expressing difficulty in refusing or declining.
Am not tryna entertain no
Not interested in entertaining unnecessary distractions.
