Eli-J - Never Fold Lyrics

I go to sleep then I wake up and do what I dreamed of
Don't let them come
Know that we ain't in a team because we got the same blood
Look at you dumb
People demanding a piece, but we never linked up
I'm turning L's into lessons, I'm only counting my blessings
I do a lot, but I never fold
Look where we started, my team never parted like God with the water
It's funny how I'm for being a kid, tryna make you do school, teachers calling me dummy, now I got retarded
I got a couple of homies that I used to hang out with, ask for advice when I'm dealing with
Couple years later, I look at my phone and I hate that it's you that got sent to the sky
We are all destined to die, but what am I leaving behind
I'm not with the faking, tell me what you think so I know that you ain't wasting mine
All of y'all fall for anything, so through the charts, I'ma climb
I hear you talk about dream-catching, but all of y'all settle for dimes
Couldn't be me, chasing a dream, you know where I be
I made a promise that all of my fam gon be straight, the first step is to go get the green, I said go get the green
That's why I'm minding my business, while minding my business
I'll never go back to a 9-5
Living off $95, just so I'd brag to a couple of oldies that are living in '95
I'd rather create what my knowledge I
Acquired and put it on vinyl, why
Can't I be free and legit without somebody hating, I'm trying to colonize
The grind that I got has perpetualized
Flip exclamatory, pain in my eyes
Everything's running on time, so there's no need to apologize
I go to sleep then I wake up and do what I dreamed of
Don't let them come
Know that we ain't in a team because we got the same blood
Look at you dumb
People demanding a piece, but we never linked up
I'm turning L's into lessons, I'm only counting my blessings
I do a lot, but I never fold
I go to sleep then I wake up and do what I dreamed of
Don't let them come
Know that we ain't in a team because we got the same blood
Look at you dumb
People demanding a piece, but we never linked up
I'm turning L's into lessons, I'm only counting my blessings
I do a lot, but I never fold
When you're in motion, they want in the fun
Don't got a clue but they're wanting a cut
Telling me how to get up, when you're comfortable living in fear, I'ma stick to my gut
Live on the edge, I ain't bout to be tame
They say I don't but I live in the game
They wanna take, better get it in blood
They wanna take, better get it in blood
Practice made better, I grind like this is my day job
Securing the spot like I'm K-Dot,
Give me time, won't be in the same spot
Every time I speak on the future, I look at the sky and tell him I aim high
Tell him I aim high, I'll be pushing and shoving but trust I'ma get by
Took a little time but I'm back now, didn't have a clue how to come out
Never liked reading as a kid but I got a couple books, I can say that I'm good now
Yeah, I'm self-making, I'm working on trusting faith
I'm improving my mental state cause that's one place I can't escape
Got some weight on my back from this pride I choose to carry
I wanna know my dogs can eat when I'm in the cemetery
Till then I'll be hunting for meals like beats and berries
Cause I refuse to fail while knowing they're depending on me
I go to sleep then I wake up and do what I dreamed of
Don't let them come
Know that we ain't in a team because we got the same blood
Look at you dumb
People demanding a piece, but we never linked up
I'm turning L's into lessons, I'm only counting my blessings
I do a lot, but I never fold
I go to sleep then I wake up and do what I dreamed of
Don't let them come
Know that we ain't in a team because we got the same blood
Look at you dumb
People demanding a piece, but we never linked up
I'm turning L's into lessons, I'm only counting my blessings
I do a lot, but I never fold
