Lyrics
Woke up to a bunch of congratulations
Receiving congratulations upon waking up, possibly related to recent achievements.
That's validation for my recent graduation
Viewing the congratulations as validation for completing a recent graduation.
Now I wish the world would leave me alone
Expressing a desire for some solitude from the world.
Wish my friends who got jobs would stop blowing up my phone
Wishing friends with jobs would stop calling, feeling overwhelmed.
I'm feeling stressed what you mean it's ok
Feeling stressed despite reassurances that everything is okay.
I moved home with student loans that I couldn't pay
Moved back home with student loans that are difficult to pay.
Goddamn, I never made a plan that's their fucking job
Expressing frustration at not having made plans and feeling forgotten.
Got so busy doing stupid shit I guess I got forgot
Busy with trivial activities, possibly neglecting important responsibilities.
I don't know man, doesn't seem right
Expressing doubt and frustration about the job-seeking process.
I threw my resume out there that shit on multiple sites
Submitting resumes without success, feeling uncertain about the next steps.
No bites, no interviews tryna figure out the move
No positive responses or interviews, contemplating the next move.
But this shit is overwhelming so I sit back and booze
Feeling overwhelmed and resorting to drinking as a coping mechanism.
The pressure to figure out in a hurry has got me stressin'
Pressure to make quick decisions causing stress and confusion.
The direction I'm headed is kinda blurry
Uncertain about the direction in life, feeling a sense of confusion.
The depression is concerning it's possessive I've been hurting
Struggling with depression, acknowledging its grip and impact.
My head is below the surface must confessed that I'm worried
Feeling submerged and worried about the future.
Don't worry about that job, don't worry about that rate
Encouraging not to worry about job and financial concerns, emphasizing positivity.
Just keep on moving everything gonn' be ok
Motivating to keep moving forward, assuring that everything will be okay.
Sooner or later, just take a little time to reflect
Encouraging self-reflection and taking time to assess one's efforts.
And ask yourself if you've been working hard to find out what's next
Promoting the idea of working hard to determine the next steps in life.
I know the method to the pen and pad is not overnight
Acknowledging that success takes time and effort, not an overnight process.
Could put 10,000 hours into this before it takes flight
Referencing the concept of putting significant time and effort into a craft before achieving success.
That goes for everyone, this applies to more than just rapping
Applying the previous idea to various pursuits beyond just rapping.
Long as you making active moves to have pursuit of your passion
Emphasizing the importance of actively pursuing one's passion.
We gonn' be fine, and we gonn' figure it out
Expressing confidence that things will be fine and challenges will be overcome.
Shit I was 23 rapping out of my parent's house
Sharing a personal experience of pursuing a passion at 23, even while living with parents.
That shit is humbling, I wonder if they questioned me once
Reflecting on the humbling experience of pursuing dreams despite challenges.
I wonder if there was a moment they felt bad for their son
Speculating on whether parents ever doubted or felt sympathy for the pursuit.
Who knows, I never stuck around to figure it out
Leaving home to follow dreams, not sticking around to explore parents' feelings.
I made a move across the country had to drive the whole route
Detailing a significant move across the country in pursuit of goals.
And now we cruising out in Cali making moves in a hurry
Currently in California, making progress and moves quickly.
If I could tell my 23 year old self not to worry, yo I was stressed out
If given the chance, advising the younger self not to worry despite past stress.
