Despair
Lyrics
(Can you turn me up a little bit)
Sorting out the pieces of my life it's a struggle
Everybody's got a role that they choose yeah it's a hustle
Ain't no time to play we at that age where everyday
Brings another story into our lives so set the stage
But I end up falling into a poison that's in the air
Weighing out all of the options to choose to keep or share
But I never end up finding a role trapped in a lair
So I keep me bottled up in my mind I'm in despair
Lost in a maze in a daze in a day
So many paths a person can choose to pick and play
Blessed to have a circle of friends who's day to day
Stay devoted to the hustle yeah we all getting paid
Tryna see the light at the end of the tunnel
But it's so hard when you think your life's been defined by a struggle
Overthinking, contradicting, reminiscing what I'm missing
So I'm putting my life story on a beat I hope you listen
Demons caving in two to one on the run
Always praying to the big man posted way above the sun I say
"Lord please forgive me if there's any wrong I've done"
Mama really worried bout me "please get help love you my son"
Focused on myself
On my health and on my wealth
Time's been an enemy so I'm taking every step with stealth
You can't press rewind sometimes you're forced to go in blind
Trapped in this darkness too long it's time to open up the blinds
But I end up falling into a poison that's in the air
Weighing out all of the options to choose to keep or share
But I never end up finding a role trapped in a lair
So I keep me bottled up in my mind I'm in despair
Lost in a maze in a daze in a day
So many paths a person can choose to pick and play
Blessed to have a circle of friends who's day to day
Stay devoted to the hustle yeah we all getting paid
(You know
Sometimes life throws you curveballs
A new obstacle comes in
Jumbles with your head
Making you feel like)
You a diamond in the rough
Life's been tough I've had enough
Put so much burden on my shoulders that my mind's been going nuts
Out of touch, out of luck, can't even find a girl to love
Because the last girl was a nice girl who couldn't do forbidden love
Living like a lobster who's been trapped inside a cage
But I wanna be a lion in the zoo and not the pray (I got)
People calling me king just like MJ
So I guess it's time to live like one it's time to seize the day
But I end up falling into a poison that's in the air
Weighing out all of the options to choose to keep or share
But I never end up finding a role trapped in a lair
So I keep me bottled up in my mind I'm in despair
Lost in a maze in a daze in a day
So many paths a person can choose to pick and play
Blessed to have a circle of friends who's day to day
Stay devoted to the hustle yeah we all getting paid
We all getting paid
At the end of the day
Yeah we ain't getting played
(Can you turn me up a little bit)
Sorting out the pieces of my life it's a struggle
Everybody's got a role that they choose yeah it's a hustle
Ain't no time to play we at that age where everyday
Brings another story into our lives so set the stage
But I end up falling into a poison that's in the air
Weighing out all of the options to choose to keep or share
But I never end up finding a role trapped in a lair
So I keep me bottled up in my mind I'm in despair
Lost in a maze in a daze in a day
So many paths a person can choose to pick and play
Blessed to have a circle of friends who's day to day
Stay devoted to the hustle yeah we all getting paid
Tryna see the light at the end of the tunnel
But it's so hard when you think your life's been defined by a struggle
Overthinking, contradicting, reminiscing what I'm missing
So I'm putting my life story on a beat I hope you listen
