BEHIND ME
Rising Beyond Expectations: A Journey of Self and Society
Lyrics
I chose my path, you chose the way of the hero
I made my own choices, while you chose the path of being a hero
And they found you amusing for a while
People found you entertaining for a period
But the one thing they love more than a hero, is to see a hero fail
People enjoy seeing heroes fail more than they like heroes
Die trying, in spite of everything you did
Face death while attempting, despite all efforts
Eventually they will hate you, why bother?
Eventually, they will dislike or resent you, so why bother?
And the music gon' free my soul, and the high tech free my mind
Music is a source of liberation for the soul, and technology expands the mind
And I'm still gon' scream for 12, till them niggas gon' free my guys
Expressing loyalty to friends in prison, willing to scream for their freedom
Lil' bitch I don't need your help, cause you gon' waste my time
Rejecting assistance from someone untrustworthy
And I don't know how much is left, so you gon' stay behind
Uncertain about the remaining time, leaving others behind
I hope she stay behind, I hope she stay behind
Expressing hope that someone stays loyal and supportive
I hope she see me shine, I hope she stay behind me
Desiring acknowledgment for personal growth and success
I hope she see me shine
Reiterating the desire for recognition
I know she see my lows, but I hope she see my highs
Acknowledging that someone has witnessed both the lows and highs
I walk up in that bitch, I'm faded, you can see my eyes
Entering a place while under the influence, visible through the eyes
I got the crowds jumping, bumping, screaming till they die
Generating excitement in crowds with energetic performances
And I ain't high until I'm sipping dirty in the sky
Feeling the impact of substances, particularly when mixed
I need a different way of living, I need a different mode
Desiring a different lifestyle and mindset
I bought my bitch from Prada, cause she Prada how I go
Choosing high-quality and fashionable possessions
I'm hot because it's summer, when I step you feel the snow
Being popular and noticeable when entering a space
No feelings in my soul, because this chain it made me cold
Emotionally detached due to life experiences
She's stressing bout this music, cause they said I never post
Stressing over music career expectations and criticisms
Been motorcycle riding, head on fire like a ghost
Engaging in risky activities with confidence
I'm pushing down this pedal, till I reach a different road
Driving forward in life until reaching a new direction
I'm rocking cool Margiela now I hang with different hoes
Having a more diverse social circle after achieving success
Said I'm done with the buzz, said I'm done with the love
Claiming to be done with fame and attention
Said I'm done with the x, yeah, but they give me a rush
Ending drug use but still seeking excitement
Said I'm done with the text, yeah, you ain't shown enough
Rejecting insufficient communication
I ain't done with the rest, yeah, so I get em a dub
Continuing to pursue other opportunities and conquests
And the music gon' free my soul, and the high tech free my mind
Repeating the liberating power of music and mind-expanding technology
And I'm still gon' scream for 12, till them niggas gon' free my guys
Continuing to express loyalty to incarcerated friends
Lil' bitch I don't need your help, cause you gon' waste my time
Declining help from an unreliable person
And I don't know how much is left, so you gon' stay behind
Uncertain about the future, leaving others behind
I hope she stay behind, I hope she stay behind
Expressing hope for someone to stay supportive and loyal
I hope she see me shine, I hope she stay behind me
Desiring acknowledgment for personal growth and success
I hope she see me shine
Reiterating the desire for recognition
