Lyrics

Upgraded

I'm taking a chance making it happen or fall with the rest
I hear the reviews I listen them saying there fully impressed
Making more money my happiness less
I took what I loved and I put to the test
Everyone's saying that there the one next
I wanna be better then best
I'll never regret
I'll never forget
Anything I’ve ever done
Playing my story from start till i finish I’m taking this game for a Run not checking my funds
I’m thinking there low
I just stay working my lyrical flow
One day it’ll pay off they’ll pay me to go
And travel the world straight killing these shows
Yeah leave me alone
Feeling like my time is always gone
Then coming back from work its back to working when I’m home
Don’t text my phone I’m in my zone
I play the beat my mind will roam
Its all running threw my head like in the morning when you comb
Cause heart break
Turn into all the music
I make
Good things come from negatives
Things change
Good luck tryna stop it
Taking action y’all can keep on talking
Yeah just know ill never give up
I don’t quit that easy
People kill trust
Damn they get so greedy
You can fill up
On all the people on loving you
But it still won’t heal the ones that keep fucking cutting you.
Time slows down for no one
This life isn’t for everyone
I want to be someone
Stand my ground till my feet turn
Numb from the love i traded
Fast life forever faded
Old life is outdated
Upgraded and pray my music makes it oh
Been looking for love but i don’t know if its the time
I’m focus so much on just making the music i should be enjoying The ride no need to remind
I'm stressing inside
I hide it so well that there is never a sign
Can’t think of the words can never define
I put on a smile then tell you I’m fine
And that is the truth
And everything that I’ve been hiding i let it all out when i step in the Booth you cope with you problems with drugs or addition but rap Is what i go and choose
Never gonna fill my shoes
If you go fill that booze
How will you succeed if you hold yourself back every time that life Gives you a bruise so i move on
Wanna get better with every new song
I’m never working backward
Been up all night
I make it look so easy
Sleep is like my pay check get it weekly
Yeah I’m on it every day now
Never even have time just to lay down
This life ain’t what it seems
Running through the prickers tryna get to somewhere green
Its all apart of chasing you dream ohh yeah yeah yeah.
Time slows down for no one
This life isn’t for everyone
I want to be someone
Stand my ground till my feet turn
Numb from the love i traded
Fast life forever faded
Old life is outdated upgraded and pray my music makes it oh
I’m leaving some people behind I go and keep pushing ahead
Cause while you be out there keep spending your money I’m going And getting that bread id rather be dead
Then living my life on the tread
Of people I’m reaching their goals for instead
It feels like its weighing me down like some lead
I’m doing what ever i said
I dare you to hand me that mic
I’ve been all in the fight
I’ve been working my hardest from morning to night
And they tell me that all this apart of the life
The money and girls will come when its right
The hardest is i cannot trust
I feel all of these girls been fucking me up
I'm sick of the pain its killen the love
Can’t take it no more i just numb it with drugs
They tell you I’m different
They party all night start and be to double there vision
Just listen whats wrong with me dammit I’m quick to be catching These feelings now I’m just stuck in this cycle of thinking to much
I’m trying my hardest not giving a fuck the amount of the things That try pulling me down shout out to the few that keep holding Me up  music i treat like an addict continue to do it don’t matter I’m Rich or I’m poor they tell me that i got the passion but dammit I’m Feeling like i need a little bit more
I’m touching her down till i score
I’m working until i afford
Still cutting these strings like a sword
For people that loving me now and pushing my sound i give em
My full on support.
