lyrics

Since success is relative, I’ll keep it in the fam,
Can’t no comma or no decimal determine who I am,
I done witnessed greater men who never seen a hundred grand,
And been miles away from beaches building castles made of sand,
Until the wind blows, wash away the fakes,
I don’t care how long it takes, I just wanna see you win, bro,
I pray that you can dig it, this one’s deeper than the intro,
Believe that you’ll be reaping what you’ve been sowed, ten-fold,
Still, I’m 10 toes in a valley full of cold feet,
In a league of rappers who is not afraid of soul beats,
I wanna make a million, build a village with the proceeds,
Ambition so high that I’m about to catch a nose bleed,
Don’t hate another man’s harvest when you chose sleep,
Notice y’all be yelling “Crew Love” til’ the boat sinks,
Street smart? Yea, but the problem is you don’t think,
It be the loudest when you don’t speak, Preach.

Look into my eyes,
I am by your side,
If you never go then you’ll never know,
That you got no need to hide,
All you have to do is try.

I only wish I would’ve said what I could’ve said to talk you off the ledge,
I should take my own advice I guess,
You’ve been depressed for a long while,
Now I only wanna see you smile,
Pray that everything you touch be blessed,
I swear it’s bigger than stress,
It’s psychological, you’re under an attack,
But you ain’t fighting by your lonesome,
Boy, your brother got your back,
10%’s your situation, 90’s just how you react,
Take a step back and see that set back was a jet pack,
So you can fly now, Rocky theme playing,
The beginning of the montage, the part where you training,
But I know how this ends, hands raised in celebration,
I know you’re in need of healing but first you gotta be patient,
You think you probably wasting your time but that’s a lie,
Think the blues is hanging over your head, but that’s the sky,
To succeed or to fail, my G, you gotta try,
You can never take your victory lap if you’re not alive,

Look into my eyes,
I am by your side,
If you never go then you’ll never know,
That you got no need to hide,
All you have to do is try.

You gon’ try to do it right this time,
That’s what you said before,
You had to get your life in line,
Yea I already know,
It’s not that you don’t care at all,
It’s just excuses been your parasol,
But you gon’ have to bear it all,
So this polar way of living, hot and cold, so indifferent,
Rock and roll, old tradition, boy, your soul’s in a prison,
I done told you a million times before but you don’t listen,
See, I was scoping from a close distance,
I took a step back and saw that this was more than flesh and blood,
You been looking for answers didn’t know what the question was,
When you’re praying for rain, you’re bound to step in the mud,
And mud’s stuck to your soul, your soul stuck to the rug,
Think it’s making you whole but toting it’s like drug,
Put the bags down, your hurt is a curse that was passed down,
But this is where it stops, we gon toss it in the trash now,
Cry later we gon laugh now,
Ha.

Look into my eyes,
I am by your side,
If you never go then you’ll never know,
That you got no need to hide,
All you have to do is try.
