Navigating Solitude: Wiz Khalifa's Journey Through Isolation and Success
Lyrics
Back when I was a kid I used to drive alone
Reflecting on childhood memories of driving alone.
Always feeling like I was stuck out here on my own
Feeling isolated and disconnected during youth.
Now my pockets is full and I'm still riding slow
Despite success, still maintaining a slow-paced lifestyle.
What goes on in my head, don't nobody really know
The thoughts in the artist's mind are a mystery to others.
I'm in the light, all on my life get put on display
Living in the public eye, with life constantly on display.
Nothing to call my own, ducking, dodging everyday
Struggling without personal possessions, navigating challenges daily.
Put that camera phone away and keep it real with me
Seeking genuine connections and honesty, away from the camera.
Time to time again I'm searching for reality and feeling so alone
Searching for reality and experiencing loneliness intermittently.
Alone again
Repetition emphasizes the theme of being alone.
Alone again
-Alone again
-Alone
-I'm smoking that weed everyday but never hide my faith
Regularly using cannabis without compromising personal beliefs.
They calling my phone, I don't even got the time a day
Ignoring calls due to a lack of time and focus on personal growth.
Don't know their motives anymore that's why I hesitate
Hesitation and uncertainty about others' motives.
I'm tired of partying, getting drunk, I'm trying to elevate
Expressing a desire to move beyond partying and intoxication.
I remember back in the day, I ain't had no cash
Recalling a time when financial struggles were prevalent.
I was coming up off of nothing hoping it would last
Emerging from a difficult past with hopes for a lasting success.
Now it's 2015 and I got it all
Acknowledging present success in 2015.
Feeling like I did, when I started on my own
Feeling reminiscent of the initial stages of the artist's career.
Out here all alone
Being alone and facing challenges in the current phase.
Alone again
Reiteration of the recurring theme of solitude.
Alone again
-Alone again
-Alone
-No use looking out
Advising against seeking external validation.
It's within that brings that lonely feeling
Emphasizing that internal reflection brings about loneliness.
Understand that when you leave here
Understanding that leaving one's current state clarifies one's identity.
You'll be clear among the better men
Expecting clarity and improvement among those who leave.
