Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's like hard for you
People round me tryna tear me down
Tryna tell me that I ain't shit
And that I can't do this
Yeah they tryna tear me down
They just tryna see me fail
See me go off the edge I fell
It doesn't matter how loud I yell
When I fucking make it
I'ma wish them well
Hanging with my demons trapped in that cell
Put me through hell
And I have a couple people in my circle supporting me
Telling me I'll make it and I swear it means more to me
Lately all the people I am passing ignoring me
See a couple haters and I swear they be stalking me
Swear they be stalking me
You would never say you proud of me for shit I did
You would never care that I was fucking passionate
You don't care that I really bust my ass for this
You act like if I make then shit's an accident
Yeah you holding money over my head
Yeah you said you spent a couple hundred something on rent
Now you coming home yelling was it something I said
I got no where to go yeah I guess I'm stuck in cement
Money don't mean happiness
And money don't mean love
Money made of nastiness
And money don't make us
Swear that I appreciate when you buy my something
But lately when I'm talking
No you do not give a fuck
I'm young tryna chase my dream
And now you tryna hold me back
And tell me that
I'll never make it if I'm doing rap
And yeah it's cap
And I just told you that
This shit is hard to grasp
I just wanna run it back
To make a stack
And give you some of that
Like all of that
All of that
Swear to god I'm gonna make it to prove you wrong
I'ma spit on this shit
You don't care if I walk in the house with five bands
Throw it on the table
I feel like I wanna die damn
See me go off the edge I fell
It doesn't matter how loud I yell
When I fucking make it
I'ma wish them well
Hanging with my demons trapped in that cell
Put me through hell
And I have a couple people in my circle supporting me
Telling me I'll make it and I swear it means more to me
Lately all the people I am passing ignoring me
See a couple haters and I swear they be stalking me
Swear they be stalking me
I know that I'm working hard you calling me lazy
Say this gon be my job you calling me crazy
Feel like it's my life you trying to change me
But lately I feel like I'm just too worried bout Jamie
Worried what Jamie want me to do
Lately I feel like I'm the life that your living through
Waiting for the next fight that you know that we gonna get into
Yeah you know when I was younger it was always me and you
I just wish you could step out yourself and see my point of view
And realize that this is all I want to do
All I want to do
I just wanna be an artist
I just wanna sing and buy a couple cars
I just wanna do it for you
I would make all the money for you
I just wanna buy a house for you
And make you quit your job for you
Yeah my family my biggest critics
I just told em I'd make it
And they told me I didn't
Yeah they killing my spirit
Yeah they did it in minutes
And lately I feel like
They just tryna see me fail
See me go off the edge I fell
It doesn't matter how loud I yell
When I fucking make it
I'ma wish them well
Hanging with my demons trapped in that cell
Put me through hell
And I have a couple people in my circle supporting me
Telling me I'll make it and I swear it means more to me
Lately all the people I am passing ignoring me
See a couple haters and I swear they be stalking me
Swear they be stalking me
They just tryna see me fail




They just tryna see me fail
Mhmmmmm
