Yah
Thank the Lord for another day when I wake up
I'm praised up
A young nigga with his cake up
I'm tryna make it
Just tryna see brighter days
But sometimes I start to question, "Why the sky be looking gray?"
I'm just tryin' to do better, but it ain't lookin' that way
You have to act on what you said to prove that you mean what you say
But sometimes it's so hard to change, so you just hit your knees and pray
Like, "God, please look past all my flaws and sins, or please take them away"
Sometimes when shit be goin' wrong, all you really got is faith
You got to think 'bout each, 'cause one day you'll meet a grave
If I die right now, would my mom be happy with who I became? (Nah)
I got to show her that I really got a plan to get us saved (Yah)
Each day the money on my mind, like I just got the shit engraved
The police had snatched my shit the other day
That shit had me enraged (Man, f*ck)
Man, they been comin' down on us
They really want us in a cage
I made a promise to myself; for the system, I ain't a slave
I'm really out here ducking cops because a nigga really brave
I shoulda listened to my mama when she told me to behave
But I still know there's light somewhere
Deep, lost up inside this cave
I know that I can make way more of this than what I have displayed (Facts)
But lost my heart up in some shit, due to the times I've been betrayed
Sometimes I think some crazy shit and really think that I'm insane (Damn)
But I don't question it
I pop a pill and that shit make me tame
I've really felt some pain inside my chest
I take drugs to ease the pain
But I don't question shit
I pop a pill
Repeat that with no refrain (Bow)
Used to have lots of hopes and dreams
Now I just flushed 'em down the drain (Skrrt)
I felt I've been doin' this shit but got nothin' else for to gain
I wish I could wake up and feel something other than endless pain
Lately, my life been off track - it's a railroad, without a train
I get so high up in the sky, no one can pass me but a crane (I'm high)
But I can't let that stop me, I got some racks that I must sustain
It's hard to find just what you lookin' for, when you're picking at a grain
Niggas lose they mind in this shit, how you think without a brain? (Goofy)
Niggas clueless, but I'm ruthless, I'll really leave a stain
Boy, you're stupid, actin' clueless, I came here to snatch a chain
I ain't picture none of this, but God already had it framed
Finally owned up to my problems, f*ck the shit that I had blamed (One-hundred)
I learned; Life's like the game of life, but life ain't really like a game
You got to learn to cut 'em off when they ain't treating you the same
And get your riches while you can, but never worry 'bout the fame
Never worry 'bout the fame
Yeah yeah
And thank the Lord for another day when I wake up (Yah)
I'm praised up
A young nigga with his cake up (With his cake up, yah)
I'm tryna make it
Just tryna see better days (Days, yah yah)
But sometimes, why the skies be lookin' gray, yah (Uh)
Tryna do better, but it ain't lookin' that way (Yah yah)
Act on your word to prove that you mean what you say, yah
It's hard to change, so I just hit my knees and pray, yah (Aria made this)
Look past my flaws and sins or please take them away, yah
I'm really drunk so I don't know what else to say, yah
