Yeah
Alive and well
Back then, my priority was to save myself
Knew I had to get my head straight for I went all out
To go chase the wealth
Always seein' through it
3 am when we would get into it
Mama cried like every night, I didn't mean to do it
She just wanna know what I'm doin', but I don't tell her though
Whenever I tried explainin's like she seen a ghost
That's why don't say nothin', keepin' my eyes low just like they hopes
Since high school, it was me and C
Listenin' to motivation tapes while we on the way
To get somethin' to eat
Tryin' to drown this anxiety
Questionin' these old views, lookin' at the man
Like who the fuck are you?
Fuck up out my way, I ain't got shit to lose
Mo'fucka, I got shit to prove
Remember walkin' in New York on my birthday
Moms was still tryna get me to live her way
Strollin' round Times Square, feelin' boxed in with my soul drained
Tired of fightin' they fears, ain't gon' carry no more dead weight
Wrote two verses on the plane back home, on some lonesome shit
Sent the demo to Kรธra, she gave a hook, then we dropped that shit
Somehow in the first week, it hit 20k
Universe by my side, now I could finally show my mom some change
Tensions high like everyday
But a lil' blue peekin' through the grey
Just validated the way we movin'
Wasn't tryna still be a student
Demons on me, them shits be ruthless
Think I gave my two cents about ten times
Slowly shiftin' they paradigm
I been adjusted to the fuckin' fights
February 2017 was the second time I tried to drop out
The first time I was 17 and I choked up and I tapped out
Okay, but now it's fuck the past, I'ma get it right, no fucks given
Tears shed every single day, holdin' my position
Family my opposition
Even grandma begged me to listen
They just hung up on old tradition
I won't pay attention, let alone tuition
Need to get it this fuckin' instance
Always claimin' that I'm delusional
Is what it is, I'm not froze, I'm blessed
On house arrest 'till I need to leave, then I'm gettin' fadead
Just to ease the stress, I don't feel enough
Woke up fadead, always down too much
Friends got they own niche, need a goodnight
That's when we all get in touch
Fuck around and then it's back to business
Need my balance, but they don't get it
Lookin' at me like I'm pathetic
That shit she talk, I'm not interested
I'm interjectin' tryna cut a deal
Gimme two fuckin' years to show that this shit is real
I'ma go and make what you make off the music
And then see how you feel
Took a second
Said you only got two years to go make it happen
May 2019, if you ain't made it, then you gotta quit the rappin'
Finally they done quit the yappin'
Finally I can get to actions
Prayin' this whole fuckin' mess gon' work out and be worth the damage
I'ma get the money even if it mean the death of me
Dream about the days, all this grey keep upsettin' me
Lyin' in the basement, but I know this ain't no fantasy
F a lot 'em issues, it's no problem
'Cause as long as we alive and well
We gon' solve it
'Long as we alive and well
It's okay
'Long as we alive and well
We gon' make it
'Long as we alive and well
It's all good-good-good
Alive and well
We gon' solve it
'Long as we alive and well
It's okay
'Long as we alive and well
We gon' make it
'Long as we alive and well
It's all good
