[Verse 1]
Lately I’ve been spending all of my time up inside of my mind
Looking for clues and to see what I’d find
I figured the answers where somewhere and hidden
And all that I needed to do was rewind
On myself and go try to reflect
I’m searching for reasons why I haven’t left
Man the only thing I ever felt here was stress
Even when I was killing shit giving my best
My homies took off to the west, and I’m kinda depressed
I chose to keep working so i could invest
Everything that i had in this dream and it seems that I’m finally starting to feel the effects
All us together on different quests, my friends and my family love em to death
I made sure I was flexible so I ain't stressing you people who telling me that its a stretch
I don been through it all, man. wars in my head
Thinking that I’m better dead, i get panic attacks
Every time I’m asleep i been waking up screaming and covered in sweat
Anxiety's killing me made me depressed but its one thing I look at as something to test
Me to see if i want it to see how i’ll get it, so I’m never sweating the days i don’t rest
Which is every night I been up working, every night I been up slaving
Every night i been up hurting so every night I’m creating
And crafting up something you’ll think is amazing
Man this is for people hated and acting like i don’t deserve it
Yawl get deserted, i don’t perspire it, yawl are the lighter which
Fuels all the fire that burns in the furnace
See this for all the pain, all of those nights i was going insane
All of the people who brought out the storms, setting off wars, every night up inside my brain
I don’t believe anything that you claim, so everynight I’m working till I’m drained
I finally found the sunshine in their rain
[Chorus]
Cause they don’t wanna see us win
They don't wanna see us win
Man they would rather see us fall
Man people easily forget, people easily forget
That we don’t sacrificed it all, that we done sacrificed it all
Aw man homie what I wouldn’t give, homie what I wouldn’t give
Just to see this shit pay off, just to see this shit pay off
See any obstacle that sits, see any obstacle that sits
I put it on my life it falls, we deserve to have it all dawg I promise you will win
[Verse 2]
Now it’s all on the line and i’m waiting for signs
Anything telling me that's its my time
Up in the studio working to five
Just making some shit that’ll shiver your spine
Just making some shit that’ll better your life
Making some shit that’ll set off your mind
Get your off of your ass make you pick of the slack
So your dreams and your life become one intertwine
And that’s all i been trying to do, why would they hate
I can’t relate, i wanna see you living good fuck good doesn’t cut it i honestly hope that you’re happy and great
I been misunderstood and hoping that some you out there can try to sedate
All the thoughts in your mind with the ones up in mine finding peace of the mind through the music I make
Man I don’t understand, we all have a chance
To try to turn all of our dreams into plans
But i feel like the people they don’t understand
That they tell you, you can’t cuz they know that you can
People fall victim to all of the systems
That try to convince em they need a diploma in hand
But all that you need is your self and once you see that that's when shit hits the fan
I ain’t giving a damn a damn if you get in my way. i’m running down everything up in my path
Everyone always had something to say, everybody got joy out of hating and laughs
Now they takin' it back while I’m taking a lap, victory dawg and they hating the fact
That i ain’t ever fuckin' coming back
[Chorus]
Cause they don’t wanna see us win
They don't wanna see us win
Man they would rather see us fall
Man people easily forget, people easily forget
That we don’t sacrificed it all, that we done sacrificed it all
Aw man homie what I wouldn’t give, homie what I wouldn’t give
Just to see this shit pay off, just to see this shit pay off
See any obstacle that sits, see any obstacle that sits
I put it on my life it falls, we deserve to have it all dawg I promise you will win
