Jordan
C-Vis Lyrics

Day falls some nights try break me
Evenings often bring challenges that test my resilience.

It's harder to get a rest when you think you're lazy, but
It becomes difficult to find peace when you self-doubt your productivity.

Stayin' on my feet like Js, yeah
I remain steadfast and active, much like the iconic basketball shoes.

I keep it on my feet like Js, I got
I continuously maintain my momentum and readiness, embodying the spirit of perseverance.

Dreams thats calling me
My aspirations are persistent and relentless in seeking my attention.

Friends that's stalling me
Some companions may hinder my progress or delay my ambitions.

Wrote these songs for the thoughts that get in the way, yeah
I create music to express and navigate the distracting ideas I encounter.

I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like Js
I remain undeterred by others' opinions, continuing to push forward energetically.

I need to keep forgetting time and tell myself to rate my journey
I strive to detach from the pressure of deadlines and instead appreciate my personal progress.

The greatest men to do this only started aged thirty
Many successful individuals began their significant journeys later in life, showing that timing varies.

I've been watching Jesus Nipsey and Jay
I find inspiration in the lives of influential figures like Jesus, Nipsey Hussle, and Jay-Z.

And finding peace in all my struggles like it's part of the way
I learn to embrace my hardships, viewing them as essential components of my journey.

I know I'm better than these rappers
I possess confidence in my abilities compared to other artists in the industry.

That keep popping and dropping what they call bangers
I observe my peers releasing frequent music that is often overhyped or lacks depth.

My only wish is you make it
I genuinely hope for the success of others, despite our struggles.

Your wins could never stop ours
Success for one does not hinder the potential for success for another.

It's just the way that we play the sport
This is the collaborative nature and competitive spirit of our endeavors.

Cos even wheelie you keep on sleeping I'll be on the court
While others are complacent, I remain active and prepared for opportunities.

I'm 23 call me Jordan
At 23 years old, I draw a parallel to Michael Jordan, symbolizing my ambition and potential.

See all these drills I'm recording
I'm documenting my efforts and practices to improve and refine my craft.

Not quite the way I was built
I acknowledge that my approach may differ from what is typical or expected.

But look how I'm spending this morning
Despite challenges, I am focused on utilizing my time productively.

My pockets calling me hungry
Financial struggles remind me of my need for resources to fuel my ambitions.

My Brains been calling me rich
I envision a mindset of abundance, reflecting my aspirations rather than my current situation.

My parents calling my phone
I'm receiving messages from my family, connecting me to my roots and support system.

Anxiety causing a twitch
Nervousness and tension manifest physically in my body amid these pressures.

I put a story on my close
I share an intimate narrative with a select few to express my inner thoughts.

They see my eyes
My gaze reveals deeper emotions and struggles that lie beneath the surface.

It's just a part of my complexion
These experiences and feelings are integral to my identity and existence.

They think the way I work is just a part of my profession
Others perceive my dedication as merely a professional trait, overlooking its personal significance.

But she knows me better Maxx been telling me I need to slow
A close friend recognizes my drive and advises me to take a step back for my well-being.

I've been on my own
I have been navigating this path independently, relying on my own strengths.

focused on this lane I'm on the go
I maintain my concentration on my chosen path, consistently moving forward.

Getting used to cutting ties even after showing the vision
I am learning to let go of relationships that don’t align with my goals, regardless of past connections.

Cos if they fail to see then our cars might come in collision
Misunderstandings in my relationships can lead to harmful conflicts.

Uh
An expression of contemplation or realization.

Like our cars will come in collision
Our divergent paths may inevitably cause us to clash.

I'm tryna show you the future but ego struggles to listen
I seek to convey visions of possibility, yet pride often hampers understanding.

He lost a piece of the puzzle
Someone is missing critical insights or elements necessary for success.

Went for a piece of the pie
They sought personal gain at the expense of the bigger picture.

Me I'm just looking at them like
I observe their actions with skepticism and reflection.

when do we call this a lie
I question the authenticity of their intentions and statements.

I'm getting used to severing these ties
I am adapting to the process of ending relationships that no longer serve me.

And put new laces on my Jordan's like it's compromise
I am re-evaluating my approaches and adjusting my methods in response to change.

I guess I'm talking to myself to just prepare me
I'm engaged in self-reflection to ready myself for upcoming challenges.

If the people don't believe me
Should others doubt my capabilities or vision, I remain undeterred.

I'm watching Michael Jordan say his rise was never easy
I draw inspiration from Michael Jordan's journey, recognizing that success requires perseverance.

All the creases that must be on his shoes
The imperfections and wear reflect the struggles and dedication of his journey.

Like the promise of a failure is just the dumbest excuse
Using fear of failure as an excuse stands in the way of progress and takes away personal agency.

I guess I'm saying
What I’m trying to convey is crucial to my perspective.

I walk by faith and not by sight
I choose to trust in my vision and beliefs, rather than simply relying on what I see in front of me.

My shots don't cease, I found my fight cause
I persistently pursue my goals, having discovered my motivation and purpose.

I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I remain committed to my path, regardless of external judgments.

I got dreams that's calling me, friends that's stalling me
My aspirations remain strong, while some relationships may hinder my progress.

Wrote these songs for the thoughts that getting away
I create music to express the fleeting thoughts and feelings that occupy my mind.

I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I persist in my journey, unaffected by the opinions of others.

I pray my people stay around me but sometimes it's hard to trust that
I hope for the loyalty of my close ones, but there are doubts about their sincerity.

And yes I've been inside that energy's been hard to muster
I've experienced a challenging atmosphere filled with negativity that saps my motivation.

My social battery's been running on fumes
I'm experiencing social exhaustion, leaving me drained and in need of rejuvenation.

I get it back the time I spend constructing one of my tune
I recharge by dedicating time to creating music that resonates with me.

Imagine faking when you put the pen to paper
The idea of being dishonest in my writing is unfathomable, as authenticity is vital.

all I'm chasing is the feeling
My ultimate goal is to capture genuine emotions through my artistry.

The truth behind these lines is like some therapy
My lyrics serve as a form of healing and self-exploration.

That's healing the person hurting inside
These expressions help mend the pain I carry within.

He'd never talk without these chords I know I'm riddled with pride
I find it hard to communicate without my music, and I acknowledge my own pride.

Or so she tells me
A woman's observation reinforces my self-awareness about my character faults.

My mum is calling me crazy
My mother perceives my ambitions or behaviors as unconventional.

Bet she don't envy my girl
I’m sure she doesn’t wish to be in my romantic partner’s position.

My girl's a little delusional just to live in my world
My partner's dreams might be unrealistic considering the challenges I face.

She says it's something about me
My partner sees unique qualities in me that captivate her.

Must be the way that I stride
My confidence and demeanor are apparent in my presence and movements.

All these miles I've clocked inside these shoes is showing on my soul
Every experience I've endured is reflected in my spirit and character.

Imagine you was just a kid and you're the poorest of your friends
Consider a childhood where you lacked material wealth compared to your peers.

See your friends they live in mansions
Your friends enjoy affluent lifestyles, highlighting your disadvantage.

While you been living in ends
You have been residing in less affluent conditions, feeling the disparity.

And you never tell your friends a single thing about where you live
You choose to hide your living situation to avoid judgment or pity.

Cos you know the stigma follows you they probably won't believe
You are aware that societal labels can tarnish perceptions, leading to disbelief about your circumstances.

That your mum she worked a teacher and your dad he works a med
Despite your family's educational and professional background, financial struggles persist.

But the circumstances making it harder to keep you fed
The realities of life create obstacles in providing basic needs.

Any money left he keeps for his brothers to help them too
Your parent prioritizes family support, limiting resources for immediate needs.

So it's rude to ask for Js cos there's no money for your shoes
Requesting luxury items seems unreasonable when funds are tight.

So you've got to grind and make it cos that's the thing that you saw
You realize that hard work is necessary to escape your circumstances, as you've witnessed.

Any room you made it into meant that you squeezed through the door
Opportunities require effort and tenacity to access.

And still you got the same shoes
Regardless of progress, you carry the remnants of your past with you.

Cos even now you've got these Js you never use
Despite acquiring valuable possessions, their utility remains untapped due to ongoing struggles.

I hope that Jordan will forgive me
I seek understanding from Michael Jordan, empathizing with struggles he faced.

Cos he knows the feeling when you've got this hunger
He can relate to the deep drive and yearning for success and acceptance.

Of chasing what you miss
The pursuit of aspirations, often fueled by what you feel is lacking in your life.

but when you get it then you wonder
After achieving goals, you begin to question their true value and impact.

What's the price I really paid to show my teachers that it's true
You evaluate the sacrifices made to prove your worth to those who doubted you.

That I'm worth a little higher than the price I got these shoes
My intrinsic value transcends material possessions; I strive for recognition beyond what I own.

I got dreams that's callin' me, friends that's stallin' me
My visions drive me forward, even as some relationships may delay my progress.

Wrote these songs for the thoughts that gettin' away
I craft music to express the ephemeral ideas that often elude my grasp.

I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I remain focused on my journey, undeterred by the judgments of others.

I walk by faith and not by sight
I rely on my beliefs and intuition rather than solely trusting my immediate circumstances.

My shots don't cease, I found my fight cause
I continue to pursue my goals relentlessly, having discovered my motivating purpose.

I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I persist in my endeavors without concern for the opinions of outsiders.

I walk by faith and not by sight
I trust in my vision and aspirations, rather than just what is visible before me.

My shots don't cease, I found my fight cause
My determination and commitment to improvement drives me forward continually.

I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I remain driven and focused, regardless of criticism from others.

I walk by faith and not by sight
I choose to navigate my path based on belief and conviction rather than mere observation.

My shots don't cease, I found my fight cause
I relentlessly pursue my goals, energized by a newfound sense of purpose.

I don't care what they say, I keep it on my feet like J's
I am resolute in moving forward, regardless of what others may think or say.
