Look at my life I aint have it easy Real cold Winters Sometimes It felt like it was the only season (Unh) 6 months long That mean you had to come 6 months strong They be like Ridge What's is you on All on my phone All in my home All in my crib All in my bag All in my shirt Just popped tags Aim for the Riches I just had rags They don't understand all the times we had All them nights I went out sad All in nem cribs aint have no mask Took my leg up out the cask then put my foot up on that gas Shordy I'm up in the mix I aint really tryna take no pics I'm ready to go Man It aint been Nan winter That done came by here one year And didn't have snow Shordy I was 19 whipping that veno round the corner with Timberland boots and a fro I aint have money I was damn nid poor Gotta make it look good You know how that go Man I be going so fast Ride right past They be like Ridge you gotta take it easy Eyything I'm doing right now I said I was gone do then But they aint believe me Just got cold outside I just bopped out You know that thats my season Just took a lost but I can't go Shordy you know I gotta get even I work everyday round the clock It seem like yall do this at yall leisure It's so many lights on my neck and my wrist yall mess around have a seizure I take a pic but I aint cheesing I'm cashing out on my visa I cant do this without Jesus I I was up north in a northface coat I was outwest rocking a beanie I was riding round playing that music so loud You can hear me before you can see me I had dreams of being on tv I was hungry and they aint feed me They tried to dim light Instead I kept on beaming I done went hard in the day time I done went hard in the evening My Granny Died I took it hard I was down in Mexico grieving They told me stop I told em nah shordy I just kept on believing She think about me at night I told her keep on dreaming I been sonning em since I was young They babies tell em drink pedialyte I was selling dreams I was putting that bug her in ear She prolly won't see me tonight I was hurt and I wasn't healing right I wasn't feeling right I wasn't living right I was locked in I done lost track of time Ion even know what a minute like I bossed up God led the way I done left it all in the back mirror I'm cool now I'm at peace They try tried to blind me I see clearer Im In the zone and they can't stop me Aint coming close cant get near it I'm out the way cuz they acting weird I put the truth up in every lyric

Welcome to the nighttime I'm in the dark but I might shine She tryna sell me something ion really want it but u might buy it I'm like a kite but I might dive tryna dodge the school to prison pipeline Give shordy a high 5 Nah I aint coming to yo side She said she bad I'm said I'm rich I guess we both lied I'm outta town I'm on a beach I'm on a boatside One touched my girl One tried to kill me and they both died He saw my style He ride my wave But its a low tide My Granny Died I saw my pops And then we both cried We aint show each other But inside it's so sad Thank God I got God without her feel I got no guide They show hate and then they say they don't mean nun by it I'm in the cut I'm out the way But no I don't hide My tired popped they tried to leave me on the roadside But You know that I aint finna go I'm on the dark side of the moon They tryna put me in a tomb They tryna lead me to my doom Have you seen a flower bloom Have you ever been in a cocoon I been thinking bout the winter since June This the dark side of the moon Me Ion like to assume But im finna come soon Tell my haters make room Cuz I got alot to prove I been waiting on the winter since the womb

What's a generation without general direction? What's the point of giving love if you don't get affection? What's a curse to a man who never get a blessing? What's destiny if you don't know who you are to be destined? What's a answer to a question if you used to guessing? What's a insurrection? What's a new election? What's the point of making a promise if you forget it? Tell me what's a president if he aint even present? What's the point of doing right you don't go to heaven? Tell me how could you go right if you don't know what left is? Tell me how could you know God if you dont feel his presence? And tell me how you know his word if you aint never read it? How you feel the pain in his blood if you never bled it? What's the point of reading a verse if you never get it? What's the point of drawing conclusions if it's alledged? What's the point of doing work if you don't get the credit? Tell me who you pay when you indebted? What's the point to get up and go if you don't know where you headed? Tell me who in this world can heal you when you don't trust the medic? How could you make an honest living when the pay is pathetic? Tell me where the pics without the edit? Why I feel like I'm repeating myself when I never said it? What's a brand new day when you giving into yo old habits? What's the point of talking about something when you don't know about it? If they know you but they don't feel you what good is omnipresence? And If everybody turn on you what good is all the status? You make a decision what good is it to regret it? You aint mean it what good is it for you to have even said it What is a record deal nowadays without the leverage? What's the point of stressing on something that you can't even manage? How is you gone miss something but you took it for granted? And How is you gone hurt someone but can't live with the damage?

It's been a long time since I lived with my mom's and my pops I'm 28 I was 21 when I left the house At 17 I was dreaming about making it out I told myself I need some Ms inside my bank account I'm used to giving my all and getting little to nothing I'm used to people seeing me and then jump to assumptions I mean jump to conclusions I made something from nothing I see the devil everyday tryna come for my comfort I see the hate I'm not wondering bout where did it come from I'm used to giving all I got to the people that want some I'm working hard everyday I stack and make me lump sum I told my steppops back in the day that I would become some My pops looked me in the eye and told to me get serious So I got on my grind I done fought through the tears It's been multiple years I had multiple fights I had multiple days when I didn't sleep through the night I done fought through the fears And I had to make an ammends Because I got lost in my sins I'm taking that loss on the chin I came here to win I'm focused on making it in Mistakes that I made in the past I hope I don't make em again Nowadays I live my life and know the meaning of it I tell myself when it get hard Just remember to love it The devil pull me to the ground I put my feet above it Just keep it cool and keep believing and dreaming beloved What's a life without a little bit of controversy Oh Lord have mercy You showed me all the things that'll hurt me I call my mom from time to time and she usually worried I pray the Lord give her peace and all her burdens are burried I live life in a hurry I went hard in my 20s I done made it to 25 tryna make it to 30 My spirit dirty I'm tryna make it clean thats for certain The fallen angels are lurking and their king is the serpent My days are getting shorter My life is moving faster I love the church But I can't put my faith in a pastor Mom's and Pops wasn't together guess that Imma bastard The feelings last so long You can hear the pain in my laughter I make music with passion Back then they thought I was average Imma eat a beat You can take what I don't eat right after I'm the type to want it straight No need to chase it or bag it Got God in my music I don't need a label to back it I'm so confident in him and myself They Thought I was bragging A beam to the world And They come to me like I'm a magnet I'm striving everyday to get away from dirty habits See sum bad I take it away See sum good then I add it But my righteousness dirty rags to the one thats above me The way you talk to me at my lowest show that you love me A couple months ago in my life it really got ugly Sometimes I wish my Granny was still alive just to hug me But Nowadays I live my life and know the meaning of it I tell myself when it get hard Just remember to love it The devil pull me to the ground I put my feet above it Just keep it cool and keep believing and dreaming beloved

Better Days 03:44
I'm looking for better days like Makaveli My palms sweaty My heart heavy I'm not ready My knees weak The pain grows My head hurts The love fades I cant find it But still search The tears dried They not wiped They still drip I love God I dodge fire I'm still lit I'm still turnt I'm still wild I'm still reckless I'm still damaged I live life I'm still average I'm still sane I still see I'm still woke I still love I still dream I still hope I still cope I still breathe I still choke I'm still tired I still work I'm still broke I'm still caught in the midst of trouble But won't evade it I still clock in my 9 to 5 I still hate it I'm good natured With bad habits That's Ill favored I still want reparations I'm still waiting I'm looking for better days like Mo3 They know it's me But still acting like they don't notice me I'm in a loop I'm feeling trapped I'm feeling boxed in My girl ain't feeling me Cuz my masculinity toxic I'm in the tropics I'm mentally prisoned like I'm not here I cant avoid it I feel a void I cannot stop it I try my hardest I feel for others but not regarded My bones are shaken I feel forsaken I feel forgotten I wana lock in But bills are coming I gotta clock in I'm not shopping So Stop asking I don't got it I'm not rich I'm not wealthy I'm not an object They try to take me They try to use me I won't allow it I'm outta space I'm outta orbit I'm on a comet I love my girl when she at the crib and she wear her bonnet I go outside I spit a verse and change the climate I from Chicago Where cracking cards And and petty crimes at At times it's big They found his body His momma crying His homies mad Retaliate They die behind it Endless cycle Never ending Never Finite I hurt my mama too I know what the pain her cry like I see his timeline I check the news I see the highlights I see the twilight I know what drunk like I know what high like I'm far from perfect I'm far from quiet I know what shy like I see the end I know it's coming I know what Bye like I'm looking for better days like Jaydayoungan Slowly and everyday I feel like I'm to something My heart is pumping My blood rushing My toes touching I wanted everything in the world But I chose nothing I chose life I chose love I chose peace I chose you in hopes of one day you'll choose me I chose purpose I chose abundance And chased a bag I ran around so much I lost everything that I had I made em cry I made em weep I made em mad I made em laugh I made em smile I made em glad I made em hurt I made em feel I gave em hell I went to school I came home I went to jail At times I tripped At times I stumbled But never fell I drive my car I ride my bike I took the L I'm in the club The girls chase I keep it player They see my work They know my name But never say it They in the party They see my music But never play it I go to work I write a song Then go to bed They know the truth They won't say it They still scared They still thirst They still hunger But not fed The whole word Don't subtract Do not add It's not a vibe It's not a trend It's not a fad I live a life With good days and some sad But can't act Like everything Is all bad
