Sareem - NEIGHBORHOOD BLUES Lyrics

I'm just confused another victim of the neighborhood blues
Achieving all my goals but I got so much to prove
Is it everything you wanted I'm still lookin for clues
Better elevate that hunger fo you turn to old news
All the barbershop convos they just speak to old truths
We was talkin big 3 when we was walking to school
But I'm done wit the past I ain't shining no shoes
Time for us to light it up pourin gas in the booth
Yeah they wanna stop the process but I know where I'm headed
Told em all I'd be the greatest no more coming in second
Big discussions upstairs then I brought back more blessings
What's the point of makin profit if you don't carry no message
How you finna help the world if you can't even help ya self
I know we love to project then turn the mirror on the shelf
Aspirations of wealth expect the same from someone else
Love so many from a distance I guess peace can buy health
Adolescence of depression I still carry it wit me
Guess I should've seen it coming wait pause no diddy
I still gotta put it on when I roll through the city
If I inspire generations I can leave here pretty
Predecessors of today still thinking they're twenty
By the time I reach thirty bitch I'm tryna lap Fiddy
Picture me in five years pour up shots of my whiskey
Overlook the high rise sunbeams on the Bentley

I'm just confused another victim of the neighborhood blues
Achieving all my goals but I got so much to prove
Is it everything you wanted I'm still lookin for clues
Better elevate that hunger fo you turn to old news
Saw the game front row no more clouds in my vision
Tunneled out the mediocre now I shoot wit precision
Caitlyn Clark Chef Curry aint a chance that I'm missing
Niggas need to push they weight up I'm still chasing tree fiddy
Tryna kill my addictions demons wanna surround me
I been gettin out the bucket and the crabs tryna ground me
So I cut back on consumption clipped the pull of the chains
Gave a prayer to the lord now I'm praising his name
But I keep it to myself yeah my mind needs peace
You can soldier up a man if you know his beliefs
Issa war inside til the day you take it out
False messiahs everywhere castin shadow of doubts
How we posed to know whats true when they lied off the boat
That's just how things are now clean up my coat
Trust someone to be themselves then you'll save some time
Find a snake in the grass and you'll know where they lying
Keep ourselves occupied told me lies all my life
Tore em down I built it up nowadays I'm living nice
Never one to be the victim get it every time I rise
Said the trauma make or break shit I wear it wit pride
