Zoe Banks - Matrix Lyrics

You're doing the very best that you can, yes?
So, stop being hard on yourself
You got to take things one day at a time, day by day, step by step
You can't expect things to just happen overnight
But look at you now compared to when you were at you're worst
Or when you were just beginning
Or when you just didn't understand
You're better than that now
You've made progress
So stop beating yourself up thinking that you haven't

Gettin' lotta money nigga, but I'm ten toes in the 'jects
Started sippin' Wock so I stop sippin' Hi-Tech
I was sellin' work, swipin' cards, cookin' in the Pyrex
N****s said I wouldn't make it but I did, tell me what's next?
Do this shit for my auntie, I wish she can see me now
Do this shit for my cousins, I wish they can see me now
Do this shit for my n****s, I wish they can see me now
Gotta talk to my granny more and not just when I'm down

But fuck it I'm back to the basics, countin' the numbers like Matrix
I'm gettin' tired, turn the machine on
Pour me some Wock, gettin' my lean on
I just be needing a shoulder to lean on
Drugs make me insane
Make me goin' insane
I don't want no pain
I don't want no pain
I'm just gettin' bands
Bands on top of bands
I cut off my friends
Skrt off in a Benz

Even though I'ma man, I still cry
Even when I fail, I still try
I've been dead all inside, even though
I just poured codeine
Everybody know that's me
100k up in a week
Everybody know that's me
The same n**** that came up from nun
The same n**** turned nun to 'sum
The same n**** that was drillin' for fun
The same n**** that said he was done
I'm in the bank and I laugh
I can't be goin' out sad
Used to be down bad
Gotta move on from your past

But fuck it I'm back to the basics, countin' the numbers like Matrix
I'm gettin' tired, turn the machine on
Pour me some Wock, gettin' my lean on
I just be needing a shoulder to lean on
Drugs make me insane
Make me goin' insane
I don't want no pain
I don't want no pain
I'm just gettin' bands
Bands on top of bands
I cut off my friends
Skrt off in a Benz

But fuck it I'm back to the basics, countin' the numbers like Matrix
I'm gettin' tired, turn the machine on
Pour me some Wock, gettin' my lean on
I just be needing a shoulder to lean on
