Lyrics

Plan A

[Hook: Devvon Terrell]

This is my inner struggle

Fighting through the game with every hit they cue the thunder

Feet don't fail me now

Every step I take, I hear don't give up now

Would you believe what I've been through

Sometimes I wonder what I get into

And so we always say, fuck a plan B

Everyday we gon' go for plan A

[Verse 1: Futuristic]

The mind plays tricks on a young artist

Like why they going the furthest but I'm working the hardest

Bombarded with comments by fans

Like "you the man but how come you still live in an apartment?"

Dirty carpet

Regardless the mic's on

Write songs to find my way through the darkness

I promise you don't want to start shit

Looking like I barely started but these rhymes ready for harvest

Office job wasn't meant for me

I'm meant to be on stage and the kids will scream

Rip the beat

Lyrics don't let me get to sleep

I partner and forget what I did achieve

History repeats itself

And I'll repeat myself

Until the day they fucking get it

I committed to spittin' everything I've ever written

It's worth a listen and sittin'

And that's the reason I'm trippin'

Not to mention I ain't never had a plan B

Family I got to support, don't want them in the damn streets

They're supportive cause they knowin' what I can be

A lot of goals but it's feeling like I can't reach

Can't speak on a lot of things

I'm hoping that they all work out

Until then I'm just chillin' with a pen

Droppin' songs every week and look how it all turns out

I was feeling burnt out

Now I'm feeling like it's go time

Give me the mic, boy, it's showtime

I did it on my own, no cosign

Cause other niggas, they got no rhymes

They wanna battle, then it's war crimes

I'll never be trapped in a box

Nigga watch when it drops

I'm-a get it on my own time

[Hook: Devvon Terrell]

This is my inner struggle

Fighting through the game with every hit they cue the thunder

Feet don't fail me now

Every step I take, I hear don't give up now

Would you believe what I've been through

Sometimes I wonder what I get into

And so we always say, fuck a plan B

Everyday we gon' go for plan A

[Verse 2: Jarren Benton]

Fuck plan B unless I came in a bitch

Felt suicidal like I want a vein to be split

Want to quit

Couldn't tolerate the pain, it's a risk

Wife gon' bitch cause I ain't made shit

This the third job I done lost

I want to sleep the pain off, I need a Tylenol PM

I ran out of reasons for breathing

I'm fucked up

Can't let all the bullshit defeat him

Yeah, I'm still writing in my notepad

Holding on, damn, I ain't made no stacks

My kid can't eat those raps

I need a moment like Kodak

If I had a time machine I'd go back

Nigga just won't piece those on the [?]

Girl think I'm out here fucking these whores

I'm out here grinding

Damn bitch, you ain't know that

Plan A, fucking up the alphabet

I'm-a make it to the world, Jarren up next

I've done been through enough stress

Dead broke, fucked up, and upset

It's a must that I progress

Tryin' to cope with the bullshit I blow sess

The other day I was hopeless

Now I'm 'bout to go hard 'til my soul rests

Chasing my dream 'til I catch it

Been running so long that a nigga near breathless

Death to them haters, I put forth the effort

I kill all the doubt, now you niggas respect us

I'm 'bout to make billions flood out my wrists

Go hard 'til we die, we gon' fuck up this bitch

To you niggas that said I would never be shit:

Look at us now, you can go suck a dick

[Hook: Devvon Terrell]

This is my inner struggle

Fighting through the game with every hit they cue the thunder

Feet don't fail me now

Every step I take, I hear don't give up now

Would you believe what I've been through

Sometimes I wonder what I get into

And so we always say, fuck a plan B

Everyday we gon' go for plan A

[Verse 3: Chris Webby]

Head's spinnin' like a fan blade

Give a fuck what I can or I can't say

Cause my end game looking so bright

That these people got to cover the microphone up with a damn lamp shade

Get a band-aid

Cause I'm hurting you

Better learn not to take it personal

Shit, I paid my dues

Earned my stripes

Back up before I murder you

Not with a gun though

Just with these flows that I bust, yo

Better run home

I'm a god damn monster

Coming out when the sun's low

Let me keep it one-hundo

I've been out here grinding

No cosign but I kept on climbing

Did it on my own from text to freestyling

Shows to merchandise, still I'm writin'

'Bout to get it all wrapped up

Had enough of never having my cash up

So I followed plan A, no backup

Now I got the momentum of 20 mack trucks

Going downhill

And it's finally getting recognized and that feels

So damn good

Cause I never sold out

Every step I just kept shit real

And really what more can you ask

Even if I'm not your musical preference

You gotta respect that

So just watch me as I live my dream

Pull up a seat and relax

Enjoy the show and watch me go

'Bout to give the whole game a smash

[Hook: Devvon Terrell]

This is my inner struggle

Fighting through the game with every hit they cue the thunder

Feet don't fail me now

Every step I take, I hear don't give up now

Would you believe what I've been through

Sometimes I wonder what I get into

And so we always say, fuck a plan B

Everyday we gon' go for plan A
