Lyrics
One foot in the door, one step in the grave Ten toes in the soil, tryna weather the rain And what’s left’ll remain Love taught me what looks good to you could be bad for you like, sunsets in LA It’s raining cats and dogs, owe a lifeline to bro He gave a shot, looking back, wasn’t my time to go Had to let some walls down, my inner light shine and glow Listen to old sh*t like, that was lifetimes ago In NY they say the dude wild nice Rep my hometown right but had to move out twice The life of the parties, I give the luau life Got the sauce like vindaloo with the pilau rice In the land of the brave, home of the free, trapped in a cage 33 years under the sun, no time to lamp in the shade Young OG, back in the day read Goosebumps, now I get ‘em, when they dance on my grave At this point it’s reckless Get yourself a new circle if your boys are jealous This the choice I’m left with We compare ourselves to others then avoid reflection Gotta stop using people, we unimpressed with as a point of reference The feeling’s different now they, tryna figure out I’m married to the game but maintain independence how I’m Between generations like J. Cole, the middle child Talk to my inner child like what’s good, it’s been a while Someone told me once, your 20’s for having fun 30’s for finding self and, 40’s for getting rich I added tools to my belt and asked myself, you wanna be a jack-of-all-trades or an ace within your niche sh*t, remember trimming in the sticks Negotiating five-figure flips while I dig a ditch I used to sit and b*t*h then I traded things I blamed before for things I’m grateful toward, that’s a bigger list Gotta go through dark to get to light Family passes, losses left and right Replaced by inner demons that haunt my head at night Adapting to the loss of those we love the most, a consequence of life I don’t feel it I ain’t associated wit’ it Gotta know the pain and live it I wrote this next to ocean waves, where the solar rays are vivid So while they throwing shade I’m in it, hold up wait a minute I felt a gap between us, not even the Golden Gate could bridge it Look, don’t cross my mind that’s a lonely place to visit This chip on my shoulder blade like a boulder’s weight, I lift it Knowing the work started where the motivation finished Ill
