Caught Up
DUAVA Lyrics

I've been looking in the mirror
I have been self-reflecting

I've been trying to find my flaws they ain't really clear
While examining myself, I am having trouble identifying areas for improvement

I've been trying to run into my fears
To conquer my fears, I am actively seeking them out

I've been on my ones trying to disappear
I have been isolating myself in an attempt to escape my problems

My life's painless
My life lacks excitement, joy, or fulfillment

Every day is the same I just really started hating it
My routine has become monotonous and I am beginning to despise it

I've been hustling every day I'm just trying to get a pay check
I have been working tirelessly every day with the sole purpose of earning money

Always told my mama I was going to be famous
I have continually expressed to my mother that I will achieve fame and success

I was going to be the greatest
My aspirations include becoming the best at what I do

Same thing every day I don't want to die like this
My daily routine is too mundane and I do not want to live the rest of my life this way

Figure out what I want dedicate my life to it
I need to determine my life's purpose and devote myself to it

I know I got a reason I was meant to be here
I believe that there is a purpose for my existence

Hollywood dreaming
I dream of achieving fame and success in Hollywood

I've been on a mission
I have been pursuing a specific goal or objective

I done gone the distance
I have pushed myself to the limit

Right up to the finish
I have persisted until the very end

Trying to find out what I want
I am in the process of discovering my goals and desires

Even if I gotta end up missing
I am willing to take risks and potentially face negative consequences in order to achieve my dreams

Told y'all I was going to make it
I have confidently asserted that I will achieve success

Never needed your permission
I do not require validation or approval from others for my accomplishments

Caught up
I am feeling overwhelmed or stuck

Stuck inside my head
I am overthinking or unable to escape my own thoughts

I don't wanna leave my bed
I lack motivation and do not want to get out of bed

You can never slow me down
I will not allow anyone to hinder my progress or success

You ain't ever help me when I was on the ground
I have not received assistance or support from a specific person when I needed it most

And I've been trying so hard to be accepted
I have been making an effort to be acknowledged or respected by others

They've been watching me from a distance
Others have been observing me from afar

Trying to wait for all of my mistakes
Others are hoping that I will fail and make mistakes

But I ain't mad about it they just want to see me fall
Although it is discouraging, I am not angry about others wishing for my failure

You should have had my back when I needed you but I had to cut you off
A specific person did not support me when I was in need, so I ended the relationship

I be where I want every day
I have the freedom to choose my location and activities every day

I'm just trying to get to paradise
I am striving to achieve a state of happiness, contentment, or success

Only Lankan on the main stage
As a Sri Lankan, I am the only one representing my culture on the biggest platform

I'm just trying to get a better life
I am working towards improving my current situation and securing a better future for myself
