Rising Against Odds: Embracing Resilience and Authenticity
Lyrics
I told you niggas that I'm back up on my bully shit
I am asserting my dominance and strength, returning to a more aggressive stance.
Niggas bet against me, prolly think that I wouldn't win
People doubted me, probably thinking I would fail, but I proved them wrong.
When they think about me, hope they see the one that they couldn't end
When others think of me, I hope they remember the resilient person they couldn't defeat.
Workin' like I got a twin
I work hard as if I have a double, putting in extra effort.
Boy, you not a threat
You are not a threat; you're just pretending to be positive, and it's clear.
Just another fake positive, it's obvious
Referring to fake optimism that is easily noticeable.
Tryna shift the narrative around me, keep lobbyin'
I am trying to change the way people talk about me, actively shaping the narrative.
Way too many enemies posing like they blood so
Many enemies act like they are close, but they are not true friends.
How you gon' expect the boy to just be positive?
How can you expect me to be positive when surrounded by negativity?
Though I'm as rare as the latter
I am rare, unique, and should not be treated casually.
So don't be talkin' to me lateral
Don't speak to me in a sideways or indirect manner.
I done did everything I had to do
I have done everything necessary, leaving no task undone.
25 hours in this bitch, no sabbatical
I've put in continuous effort without taking breaks.
Niggas talk about it
People talk about success, but I haven't seen practical achievements from them.
But I never seen the practical, this side
We only make calculated and strategic moves.
Wе only move tactical
I can't afford mistakes when everyone is against me.
Can't afford to slip when evеrybody after you
Questioning why someone is criticizing when their own character is not solid.
Why you throwin' rocks?
Although I haven't reached the top, I am excited about the progress.
When you character ain't shatter proof?
Facing challenges and setbacks is not something I associate with.
Haven't seen the top but I'm geeking at this altitude, uh
People who criticize me remain unknown, hiding behind anonymity.
Me and taking L's is not synonymous
Constantly changing our approach whenever they think they understand us.
My biggest critic is anonymous
Working on music during intense and anxious moments.
Switch it up, every single time they think they on to us
Expressing appreciation while someone is still alive, not just after their death.
Scary hours when a song is getting conjured up
People won't support or uplift you while you are alive, but they pretend to care when it's too late.
Give flowers not a number one posthumous
Switching attitudes and behaviors once a situation is resolved or completed.
But when you breathin', niggas never wanna boss you up
Criticizing and doubting someone is easy when they are not present.
Until it's over then they costume up
People only show support and admiration after someone has achieved success.
