TraeDio - Quarter Mile Lyrics

Uh, Da dunn
Yeah they thought we couldn't, uh, say, thought we couldn't get this far
That's what they thought, tell em how you comin' boy, let's go nigga
Thought we couldn't get this far
It took some time and dedication, realize who we are
Sleepless nights and overtime, we really live this life for sure
Think we up just playin' around, we restructin another war
Thinkin' we ain't built for this, say f*ck it come on, bring some more
Quarter mile, we really took the steps to get here
A fast race at slow pace, the turtle still in first place
I might just break my legs standing on business, Ion really care what it takes
I might just slip or slide fall a couple times, hand me a pair of roller skates
Like let's go, cause what we talkin' bout this time
I really sacrifice it all just to take care of all of mine
Crossin' hurdles and mountains, a different peak I tryna climb
Tryna put my whole circle on top, just like that number, number nine
Just like maths, we tryna add and subtract
You could lose it all today and you could get the shit back
Mature so much, they say your standards different, you know you are what you attract
You gotta watch the ones you love, they might just stab you in you're back, nigga
Keep goin', it might get harder but don't stop for shit
Never avoid the problem, you go solve it every chance you get
Never dwell on the past, focus on what's comin' next
You know we live by this statement, no apologies or regrets
Ain't no regrets nigga, ain't none at all
Tryna keep a smile on top, my momma face can't see it fall
They askin' why it is you workin' so hard, two jobs need it all
Plus I don't like askin' for shit, stay down and until you all
Don't tell your business to no one but God
You fight them battles all alone and they ain't hand you your sword
But you come out stronger than ever, you survive all the weather
Surpass your limits more than once, now everyday gettin' better (everyday nigga)
2024, shit was hard me
Fell in love with a hoe, that was a tragedy
Worst situation nigga, I lost my brodie
June 4th, I swear to God, I shed some tears, they couldn't see
Heart on ice, frozen, can't let a soul get too close
I push away everybody, even the ones I love the most
But f*ck it, it's all love, yeah they know how I go
We be smilin', and showin' love, but we goin' through the most
That's just life nigga, you hurt I hurt (you gotta deal with it)
One day you might be happy, one day you might be sad (shit crazy though)
It is what it is, nigga be glad though, that you're alive
We walk some miles to get where we is, and that's for sure, we gon' strive
Thought we couldn't get this far
It took some time and dedication, realize who we are
Sleepless nights and overtime, we really live this life for sure
Think we up just playin' around, we restructin another war
Thinkin' we ain't built for this, say f*ck it come on, bring some more
Quarter mile, we really took the steps to get here
A fast race at slow pace, the turtle still in first place
I might just break my legs standing on business, Ion really care what it takes
I might just slip or slide fall a couple times, hand me a pair of roller skates
