Illy1 - Straightforward Lyrics

Came off the phone, with my bro
Just the other day
Told me keep going
Said I'll make it if I dedicate
Look how far you've made it and you only started rapping
Told him ain't hobby, this a everyday

I could keep rapping how i used to rap
Sticking to the rules
But in time, i found a better way
See what's the point being proud about the truth
If the truth that i'm speaking doesn't even resonate

Thousand prayers on my knees when i'm feeling down
When my life was hitting hard, like a heavyweight
I put my pain in these raps, just to medicate
Heals me inside, in a special way
First peter 5 told me better days
Still waiting for the season i can celebrate
Yeah i'm still waiting
Still waiting, for the season i can celebrate

Eyes to the heavens, i just wish my life was straightforward
Highs and lows like a male chorus
Got my back against the wall, still tryna a find a way forward
I'm still tryna find a way

Rap how I feel so its hard to keep it topical
Days I feel low, then there's days I feel unstoppable
Like today
Funny how it sounds, see yesterday I cried
But today wrote a chronicle
Yesterday i cried
Funny looking back
But when your really in it nothings comical
When your really in it
Got me looking back
Got me looking like the prodigal

Get me out of this
Lord I need your grace
Blinded by my pain
I know i need more faith
N this is what I pray, that you
Heal anyone
That ever feels the same way

Tired and i'm fed up
Voice saying get up
Dust your self down
Go again and keep your head up
See problems that I'm facing, is just only for the step up
Speak what i want
Tell myself i've got the best luck

Tired and i'm fed up
Voice saying get up
Dust your self down
Go again and keep your head up
See problems that i'm facing is just only for the step up
Speak what i want
Tell myself i've got the best luck

Eyes to the heavens, i just wish my life was straightforward
Highs and lows like a male chorus
Got my back against the wall, still tryna find a way forward
Still tryna find a way

Came off the phone, with my bro
Just the other day
Told me keep going
Said I'll make it, if I dedicate
Look how far you've made it and you only started rapping
Told him ain't hobby this a everyday

Would never reach my best if it was straightforward
So, hard work and faith is what i pay forward
Hard work and faith is what i pay forward
If you want the best in life, you can't take corners
