I ain't gon' lie, I've been tryna chase the dream
I've been tryna leave the ghetto, tryna find another way
I'll get it right, never listen, yes I'm bleeding, I know
I've been hurt so many times, it's hard to reach out, I know
I've been tryna speak later and just listen, I know
But fam, you wouldn't even cope with the shit that I know
I'm outside and I'm knocking, I ain't tryna make a scene, man
Better let me in, cause these hounds are here to feast, ay
I've been clocking how they tryna cage the beast
But I haven't reached my peak, I'ma rise like I am yeast
Cause I'm searching for them brighter days
And I really hope I found my way
Cause it gets hard in this life of mine
Like I try to find the light, but the dark is all I find
So I'm searching for them brighter days
They're not fending me, fending me off
Switching the style like it's nothing at all, ay
I know they want me to fall, been on a dash now they want me to crawl
But it's been a while, I've been looking for hope
I've been looking for meaning to tell you the truth
Nobody flyer than me, ay, I am just tryna achieve
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
I'm steady shining with Kong on a beat
We tryna change the way that we live
And y'all cannot see the monster within, a perfect regime
And no they can't stop a kid like hell no, now I'm sounding like Nasty C
Now I'm rapping on the mic, like I got bones to pick
Throwing hits and everybody ducking quick
Left hook, right hook, nigga I can miss
You don't really get what the motive is
Telling myself I should concentrate
Look at my life tryna elevate
Looking at my life tryna stand for something
Forgetting what I need cause I keep on wanting
In the background but they keep on fronting
Kinda extreme how they keep on stunting
Looking at my life, tryna stand for something
Forgetting what I need cause I keep on wanting
In the background but I keep on fronting
Kinda extreme how they keep on stunting
Keep on running, keep on smiling
Even when the days are cloudy, days are sunny
Even when they try to clown you. nothin' funny
Ay, only balling, when it's time to play
Keep on running, keep on smiling
Even when the days are cloudy, days are sunny
Even when they try to clown you. nothin' funny
Ay, only balling, when it's time to play
