Same Boat

Oh, oh, oh
Gotta be, wanna be
Gotta be, wanna be
Gotta be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna

Please don't think less of me, mama
I'm chasin' destiny, mama
Don't know who blessing me, mama
Just gotta be grateful
Can't bring no stress to you, mama
Just want the best for you, mama
Try keep my head above water
Just gotta be careful

I tell karma take a seat, I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
Just tryna make money, like a nigga made mistakes (made mistakes)
I used to pray for what I wanted every day
Now me and God conversations ain't the same (ain't the same)
Still, I gotta be grateful, just gotta be grateful
I take all that pressure and put diamonds in my halo
I know that they watchin' me, still gotta be careful
They say love and they say hate go in the same boat

All these chains around my neck, just keep my chest heavy (I gotta shine)
Can't miss my chance to shoot my shot 'cause we don't get many
My little man from 'round my way said he wanna do what I do
Do what I say, don't do what I did 'cause I just did what I could
How many times I compromised all of my pride for respect
I just spent like thirty thousand tryna cure my depression
I admit that I got lost, I think I needed directions
Funny how dyin' always teach us the most valuable lessons

What a world we livin' in, this life ain't promised my nigga
Here today but get caught lackin', you an RIP nigga
Need no vest on me, mama, angels invest in me, mama
All them nights that you would pray and keep your faith in me, mama
All that work inside the kitchen, that's your recipe, mama
I just pray that they don't put me on the menu like mama
What do I do when the devil keep on testin' my honor?
Finish readin' the bible and go to sleep with my choppa

Don't think less of me, mama
I'm chasin' destiny, mama
Don't know who blessing me, mama
Just gotta be grateful
Can't bring no stress to you, mama
Just want the best for you, mama
Try keep my head above water
Just gotta be careful

I tell karma take a seat, I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
Just tryna make money, like a nigga made mistakes (made mistakes)
I used to pray for what I wanted every day
Now me and God conversations ain't the same (ain't the same)
Still, I gotta be grateful, just gotta be grateful
I take all that pressure and put diamonds in my halo
I know that they watchin' me, still gotta be careful
'Cause I know love and I know hate go in the same boat

Had to stay afloat
Since I was a child, I been a brave soul
Even when my file was someone's case-load
Round 285 like merry-go
Angels lit my fire when it was so cold (so cold)

Treadin' water since I been my mama's daughter
I'm a seed, gotta feed the ones that farmed her
Keep it sweet, keep it peaceful, but they know I'm a problem (they know)
Can't believe it, it's my season and I'm grieving my papa

Call me
You know I'ma have it up my sleeve (up my sleeve)
Mama, you the one I love supreme
You was gassin' me just like I was supreme
I'ma keep my eyes wide, all night
There's thieves, devil's foot soldiers walkin' my way
Watch, watch, I'ma send 'em back from where they came
Lioness, for my pride, for my set, rip chests

Don't think less of me, mama
I'm chasin' destiny, mama
Don't know who blessing me, mama
Just gotta be grateful
Can't bring no stress to you, mama
Just want the best for you, mama
Try keep my head above water
Just gotta be careful

I tell karma take a seat, I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
Just tryna make money, like a nigga made mistakes (made mistakes)
I used to pray for what I wanted every day
Now me and God conversations ain't the same (ain't the same)
Still, I gotta be grateful, just gotta be grateful
I take all that pressure and put diamonds in my halo
I know that they watchin' me, still gotta be careful
'Cause I know love and I know hate go in the same boat (go, go, go)
