Dont Know What To Call It
Kevin Gates Lyrics

I know there's a name
I am aware that there is a specific name for this situation or feeling

Gotta be a name for this shit
There has to be a term or phrase that properly describes this shitty feeling

I just don't know what
However, I am not sure what that name or term is

Don't know what to call it
So, I am at a loss for words and unable to identify this feeling or situation

I hurt so much in the last month
I have experienced a great deal of emotional pain in the past month

Live everyday like it's your last one
I try to live each day as if it were my last, making the most of it

Can't trust nobody
I have been let down and betrayed by everyone around me, leaving me unable to trust anyone

I've been betrayed by everybody around
My trust has been broken by those closest to me

Cracking jokes I don't laugh much
Despite attempting to use humor to cope, I find myself unable to genuinely laugh or find joy

For help I never could ask much
I struggle with asking for help and usually refrain from doing so

If I'm down an out I get passed up
When I am struggling or in need, I am often overlooked and ignored

No one there to be found
I feel very alone and unsupported in my struggles

This life is like a rodeo
Life is unpredictable and full of ups and downs like a rodeo ride

Up and down emotional roller coaster
I experience extreme emotional highs and lows

Problem solver, ain't hard to cope with
I am able to handle and solve problems relatively easily

But it's hard to follow rules, I'm the culprit
However, I struggle with adhering to rules and often break them

Easy to talk but its hard to listen
I find it easier to express myself than to truly listen to and understand others

But the goal I'm chasing ain't hard to picture
Despite these struggles, I have a clear picture of what I want to achieve and work towards it

Hurt to see every car I wanted
It is painful to see others have what I desire, especially material possessions like cars

But behind the wheel I ain't the person in it
However, I recognize that material possessions do not define me or my worth

The chick I wanted, wanted someone popular
The person I was attracted to desired someone who was more popular than me

And I ain't that popular (whats that?)
I am not as well-known or admired as others, and this lack of popularity confuses me

But now I'm so high, you gon' need binoculars
However, I am now successful and well-known, to the point that I can only be seen from afar with binoculars

Now there ain't nothing I
I have achieved so much that there is nothing else for me to strive for

Bunk bed living had to sleep on top one another
At one point, I lived in cramped conditions and had to share a bed with others, stacked on top of one another

There's nothing you could do for me
There is nothing anyone else can do or provide for me now that I am successful

Made it from the bottom to the top
I have achieved great success despite my humble beginnings

Can't stop my grind, really out my mind - True Story!
I am dedicated to continuing to work hard and achieve success, sometimes to the point of obsession

Lemme keep this shit 100
I am being honest and genuine right now

I don't know your name
I do not know the listener's name or identity

You don't know my name
The listener also does not know the singer's name or identity

And that's the way I want it
However, I prefer to maintain this anonymity and not disclose personal information

I'mma do my thing
I am going to continue with my own plans and goals

Ain't gotta explain
I do not owe anyone an explanation for my actions or decisions

I'm so pressured out to win
I feel a great deal of pressure to succeed and achieve my goals

Enough to make anyone consider the normal clique
This pressure is intense enough to make someone consider joining a more traditional path or group for success

Flashing out having arguments
I am lashing out and getting into arguments due to this pressure and stress

I'm no longer in bounds
I feel like I am no longer in control of my own actions and may be acting recklessly

What meets the surface ain't all you get
My exterior or actions may not reflect what is truly going on inside me

Introverts can't be too talkative
As an introvert, it can be difficult to talk and communicate with others

Now as my heart place all of it
However, I am putting my heart and soul into my pursuits and goals

Usually I wear frowns
I often appear unhappy or unsatisfied, even when I am working hard towards my goals

Ain't no sense in my straight pretending
There is no point in pretending to be happy or satisfied when I am not

In a room full of people, I pays attention
Even in a crowded room, I am observant and aware of my surroundings

Steak for dinner, that we provided
I am now able to enjoy luxurious meals, such as a steak dinner, thanks to my success

Made money in the slum that the street provided
I was able to earn money and find success despite my difficult upbringing and environment

Behind my door
In my private life or home

Clutch heat beside it
I keep a gun or other weapon close by for protection

Out of line, I was taught let it eat somebody
If someone steps out of line or disrespects me, I was taught to respond with violence

Put the sleeper silence
I am able to silence or intimidate others with my actions or presence

Retreat from by me
Others tend to avoid or retreat from me due to my reputation or behavior

If it ain't no property shouldn't leave ?
If something does not belong to me or is not in my possession, I should not interfere or get involved

Certain things about it won't change
There are some aspects of my life or personality that will not change despite my success

The world ain't able to see bout that
Others may not be able to see or understand these unchanging aspects of myself

My pants they sagging below my waist
I dress in a way that is considered unconventional or outside of societal norms

Pockets filled with Franks
I have money and am able to enjoy the luxuries of life

Say I'm willing out ways
Others may criticize or judge me for my choices or behavior

Love the game, never back out
I am passionate about what I do and am dedicated to seeing it through

Cold but is fair, and its fair but it's cold
The world can be harsh and unforgiving, but it is still important to remain fair and just

Sold not told, nigga trap out
I am making money and succeeding through hard work and dedication, not through talking or excuses
