Battles and Blessings
Battles Unveiled: Navigating Betrayal, Redemption, and Rising Above
Lyrics
Its been awhile since I took out some time to reflect
Reflecting on the past, taking time for self-evaluation.
Cuz I always end up thinking bout some shit I regret
Remorse and dwelling on regrettable actions.
Been trying to heal but its hard to forgive and forget
Struggling to forgive and forget, hindered in the healing process.
All them nights I never slept trying to manage this stress
Sleepless nights managing stress, indicating a challenging period.
Its some people that I love that I no longer respect
Loss of respect for loved ones due to their actions.
That did shit behind my back that I could never except
Feeling betrayed by someone close.
Picture ya friend on the net trying to ruin ya rep
Friend attempting to damage reputation online.
And after it didn't work say they wish you the best
Failed attempt followed by insincere well-wishes.
Watched my lil cuz drag my name through the mud
Family member tarnishing reputation publicly.
Now I'm up and he telling everybody we blood
Relative exploiting the relationship now that the narrator is successful.
Its fucked up how money change the people you love
Observing negative effects of wealth on relationships.
And you cant trust anybody in the city I'm from
General lack of trust in the narrator's hometown.
All this pain got me numb like I'm off of the drugs
Emotional numbness, potentially due to enduring pain.
Holding a grudge against the ones wit my name on they tongue
Harboring resentment against those who spoke ill of the narrator.
But I shoulda peeped the signs and realized what it was
Realization of overlooked signs and understanding the situation.
Swallowed L's just to let them haters feel like they won
Accepting losses to allow haters a false sense of victory.
Chose to be the bigger man when I could of been petty
Choosing maturity over pettiness in dealing with conflicts.
Put it all in Gods hands when shit could of got messy
Leaving matters to fate, trusting in a higher power during tough times.
But I'm a king and this crown was supposed to be heavy
Embracing a kingly mentality despite facing challenges.
All that fake shit getting cancelled like Malcom and Eddie
Rejecting insincere relationships, referencing Malcolm and Eddie's cancellation.
When I fell back niggaz thought I fell off
Perceived setback, others thinking the narrator has lost relevance.
Wasn't nobody I could call with my back against the wall
Lack of support when facing difficulties.
You ain't did what I did you ain't seen what I saw
Challenging others' claims of being a boss without experiencing setbacks.
Don't tell me you a boss if you ain't never took a loss
Questioning authority of those who haven't faced adversity.
When I fell back niggaz thought I fell off
Reiteration of perceived setback and skepticism from others.
Wasn't nobody I could call with my back against the wall
Repeated lack of support during challenging times.
You ain't did what I did you ain't seen what I saw
Reiterating the skepticism towards those claiming authority without setbacks.
Don't tell me you a boss if you ain't never took a loss
Emphasizing the importance of experiencing and overcoming losses to be considered a true leader.
