Sidelines
Rising Above: Embracing My Day, Defying Expectations
Lyrics
Stuck with a feeling I’m not enough
Feeling inadequate, not measuring up to expectations.
Was pushed to the ceiling, you’re acting up
Pressure or confrontation has led to heightened emotions.
It’s you that I follow, I’m catching dust
Choosing to follow someone, but feeling neglected or ignored.
Stuck at the bottom, gotta cover up yeah yeah
Struggling and trying to hide or overcome difficulties.
You look at me for a new wave
Being looked upon for a fresh perspective or approach.
Didn’t believe I was so great
Initial disbelief in one's own greatness.
Now there’s 2 games play, I do my way
Now facing new challenges with confidence and independence.
Ain’t no way back this is my day
Irreversible progress, no turning back, claiming one's day.
You left me on the sidelines
Feeling neglected or sidelined by someone.
Now you want to ride my wave that's amusing
Ironically, the person now wants to be part of the success.
Now you see I'm doing numbers with the music
Achieving success and recognition in the music industry.
Now you tryna take a place
Someone trying to take credit or a position, but being cautious.
But I'm not stupid baby, now I'm ruthless
Awareness and refusal to be manipulated, becoming assertive.
Shawty got me on a wave, but I gotta stay
Influenced by someone attractive but maintaining awareness.
Awake, I can't let this go to waste
Remaining alert and not wasting opportunities.
I been going hard these days
Putting in substantial effort and dedication recently.
Baby, you are not of usage
Recognizing someone's lack of utility or importance.
Took the trash out on Tuesday
Metaphorically removing negativity or unnecessary elements.
Got no time to be goofing
No time for foolishness or unproductive activities.
Got no time to be goofing
Emphasizing the importance of not wasting time.
You expect me to obey
Expectation to conform or comply, resisting authority.
You think I’ll follow like the first day
Refusing to blindly follow, asserting independence.
Now there’s 2 games play, I do my way
Facing new challenges with personal autonomy.
You can’t go back this is my day
Emphasizing irreversible progress and claiming control.
