Wonderland
A.F.R.O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stuck in wonderland tryna get away from my reality that I’m a loser
I question if this work was even worth it
I lost all my friends, but I think that I deserve it
Cause I put in the hours, I put in the time
I gave it my all, like my life was on the line
You will never understand what I’ve been through
Song after song just to have these people never pay attention to your every move
They say you’re gonna make it, but they never care
Cause they ain’t buying the songs, and they ain’t liking the pics
I am stuck on the past, that’s why I’m throwing this fit
I’m losing followers like everyday
Tryna be the hometown hero, have these people screaming my name
I don’t think I’ll get past all it
Writing down these words thinking to myself, they won’t get the half of it
Let it go
Let it fall
For five years, you were really strong
I said
Let it go
Let it fall
The sun glows, and the night falls
Damn
Maybe I’ve had enough
Maybe my time is up
Play with thoughts of retirement
Should I just give it up?
These are my daily thoughts
Slipping and losing dreams
I know I look okay, but deep down I am splitting at the seams
Wishing I could go back
To the way that things were
In perfect harmony, before my life turned into a blur
Time is moving so fast, I’m about to be twenty-one
Struggle with the fact that I can’t fix the damage that’s done
So I let it go, and I let it fall
Cause for five years, I was really strong
I let it go, I let it fall
The sun glows, and the night falls
Damn
