Things ain't been the way that they used to
Waiting on the day I hit a breakthrough
Saying we ain't working that's some nonsense
Try to sell these tickets in the breakroom
I can't even go outside without caution
Fighting through fatigue and exhaustion
But they never guess what it's costing
Never lose a bet because I'm all in
So we been living different
Guess its true, man I get it
But I never lost touch with the gift that I've been given
Almost lost it for a minute
Top concern was how I fit in
When you been out the box long enough you get the vision
Never been one to listen
Got them pissed but ain't dismissive
You try to tell me that my world ain't one you see yourself in
Overall I ain't been bitching about some petty sneak dissing
Probably have to re-evaluate those bars that I just mentioned, but
Everything just gonna fall into place, yeah
Not involved, I suggest you watch your place
Running first with the bag, hope I don't get chased
But I got it, so just out of my way bitch
We ain't really seeing eye to eye
I try to gather up my thoughts and get some peace of mind
If they doubt me I just let 'em it ain't worry mine
I fantasize about my future not what's left behind, and still
They were never glad for me
Only 'round if I got the spliff on me
Make it bounce and she cancel all her plans for me
You always free? Shit well that ain't what your mans told me
Now you mad 'cuz I got here
Try and take what we lost
But ain't got room for that shit here
Thats just how it goes
Slowing sinking, I stay afloat
Try and being something
But always getting stuck in shit I had no business in
I wrap my head around these times, but no-one listening
Bouncing off the backboard,
Barely check my credit score,
Everybody on this shit of saying less and doing more
I altered up my form, I don't settle being poor
All I offer is myself 'cuz
Things ain't been the way that they used to
Waiting on the day I hit a breakthrough
Saying we ain't working that's some nonsense
Try to sell these tickets in the breakroom
I can't even go outside without caution
Fighting through fatigue and exhaustion
But they never guess what it's costing
Never lose a bet because I'm all in
(I just think if it don't fall into place, yeah)
I just think if it don't fall into place, yeah
I just might lose it
Lets drop the excuses
You talk but don't prove shit, tell me
What y'all been doing?
I was making these moves
And all of a sudden they lose me
