Yeah i've been tripping for about seven days
I done lost my self conscious
Tryna make a play
I done lost my self to the dough
Shit got in my way
You will never get the struggle
Wishing for better days
Yeah I've been drinking singing loud with my eyes closed

Never knew i was the one to make it out for
And it's crazy that some niggas dying for some hoes
A lot of shit around me had done got broke
We had to make it
A lot of faces a lot changes
Sleeping in a dark place
wasn't really fading
Crazy how the best niggas never turn out famous
People show you love but expect for you to pay it
And on the long road
I've been wishing that my brother would just find hope
Make it to the hills coming from the condos
Make it out the struggle life
That we once called home
And on the headlights headlights i can see you through
I just hope you see my point of view
People change up on you for the revenue
We was struggling one point
Grew up in old roots
We was struggling coming from a dark place
Where the people never make it out
Or change their ways
Where the people stay struggling
Tryna make a play
Swear to god i was so close to turning insane
But all the people that doubted me gonna feel this weight
Y'all niggas never believed in me but now i'm going straight
Straight to the top where people will know my name
Nobody will ever know all the pain i gave
Yeah a lot of people fake
And yeah they really be a lie
They really see me blowing up now they wanna be on my side
But i'm alright
The ice on my wrist and it's so bright
Hoping that they seeing all the pain inside
They know we been going up high
Yeah i'm tryna stay focused
Yeah i've been grinding my whole life
Yeah this is my turn this is my time
This what i've earned this is my life
Yeah i been tripping for about seven days
I done lost my self conscious
Tryna make a play
I done lost my self to the dough
Shit got in my way
You will never get the struggle
Wishing for better days
Yeah i've been drinking singing loud with my eyes closed
Never knew i was the one to make it out for
And it's crazy that some niggas dying for some hoes
A lot of shit around me had done got broke
We had to make it
A lot of faces a lot changes
Sleeping in a dark place
wasn't really fading

Crazy how the best niggas never turn out famous
People show you love but expect for you to pay it

Line by Line Meaning

Yeah i've been tripping for about seven days
I've been lost and unfocused for a week

I done lost my self conscious
I've lost my sense of right and wrong

Tryna make a play
Trying to make a move to better my situation

I done lost my self to the dough
I've become consumed by the pursuit of money

Shit got in my way
Money and materialistic pursuits have become obstacles

You will never get the struggle
You can't understand the difficulties and challenges I face

Wishing for better days
Hopeful for a brighter future

Yeah I've been drinking singing loud with my eyes closed
I've been seeking escape through alcohol and music

Never knew i was the one to make it out for
I never thought I'd be successful

And it's crazy that some niggas dying for some hoes
It's insane that some people are giving up their lives for meaningless things

A lot of shit around me had done got broke
There has been a lot of destruction and loss around me
