So They Say

I don't know if I'm doing this in vain, yeah
But I swear that this shit be in my veins
This shit starting to drive me insane, yeah
I just want the money I don't even need the fame
What if the shit I make is actually lame
And that's why it ain't took off like a bullet train
What if I ain't as good as I think I am, yeah
All this gold on my neck like who do I think I am?

Complex wiring and circuitry gave me emotions
Connected to my brain from which that came all the notions
I'd be a liar if I said I didn't fill my mind with doubt
I'd be a liar if I didn't get my truth out
Now I done rapped my heart out and threw the roof out
And I done rapped so hard I swear I spit a tooth out
That hourglass ain't givin' me no time back
Talk to my nana wit' her cigarettes and wine glass
And she said

Everything happens for a reason
So they say
But honestly I don't know what to believe in these days
Seasons change, people change
Talk to my niggas and they told me don't trip
Cause you the captain of your own ship

My girl be goin' through it sometimes I feel helpless
Racing with my friends like damn how can I help this?
I just wanna be wealthy, buy shit I couldn't afford
I still live within my means, I drive a Honda Accord
I take 87 gas, I'm not a regular nigga
Support black bitches, breaking bread with all of my niggas
I ain't gon' stop till I pile several figures
Retire when I'm tired, go figure (go figure)

Everything happens for a reason
So they say
But honestly I don't know what to believe in these days

Staring in the dark, my thoughts haunting me all at night
I done been so broke I done put my pockets in rice
I don't keep a stank face I try to keep it polite
Speeding Donatello I'm headed straight towards the light

Everything happens for a reason
So they say
But honestly I don't know what to believe in these days
Seasons change, people change
Talk to my niggas and they told me don't trip
Cause you the captain of your own ship

(You are the captain of your own flight today)
