O.P.
O.P. Lyrics

I didn't know what to write when I heard this beat
I was uninspired when I first heard this music

First line should have been about the life in these streets
I should have written about the hardships and struggles of living in the neighborhood

The Second lines should have been about some backstage heat
I should have written about the conflicts and drama that happens behind the scenes

People talking to just talk
People are gossiping and spreading rumors for no reason

But when I talk, it's all beef
Whenever I speak, there's always conflict and tension

You see I been down this road, but i made it all worst
Despite having experience with difficult situations, I have made things worse

Black clouds above my souls, you would have thought I was curse
I feel like bad luck follows me everywhere I go

I been a bad luck to some, been a bad luck since birth
I have been unlucky my entire life and it has affected those around me

I started from the ground up, I shouldn't still feel like this dirt
Even though I have worked hard to get where I am, I still feel low and worthless

I'm stuck in a fantasy, thinking it's reality
I have trouble distinguishing between what is real and what is in my head

Should have been family, but it was all about me
I regret not prioritizing my loved ones over my own desires

This ain't no unity, never been about you and me
We have never truly come together as a community

We only see unity while we cry over the eulogy
It takes tragedy and loss for us to come together and show unity

Then I'm looking at the clouds, can all this be prevented?
I wonder if all the suffering in the world could have been avoided

Too many people left this world without there legacy cemented
Countless individuals die without leaving behind a lasting impact or memory

I Wasn't serious about my life, I took it all for granted
I did not value my life and all the opportunities it presented

Genie get out of that bottle, I'm still begging for these 3 wishes
I am desperate for things to change, as if a wish-granting genie could fix my problems

I Thought I had it figure out, I guess I didn't plan it out
I believed I had everything under control, but I was wrong

Lay substance to foundations without no goals nor a route
I did not have clear goals or direction when trying to build a foundation for my life

I'm my own failure, too hard to get off this drought
I am responsible for my own shortcomings and it is difficult to turn things around

Yea I make a couple bucks , but that's not what life's about?
I have financial stability, but I realize that life is about more than just money

Societys getting spooky, I'm tryna handle myself
The world around me is becoming increasingly unsettling and I am doing my best to cope

Mane Why the hell i let the world tell me about myself
I have allowed others to define me and shape my identity

Uses to be a champion, always defending the belt
I used to be strong and confident, always ready to fight for what I believed in

Now I'm a product of this system that give no damn about some health
Now I feel like I am just another cog in the machine, disposable and uncared for

I been blaming everybody for the way Im living life
I have been unfairly blaming others for my own problems and shortcomings

Blame my mother, blame my father, blame my kids and blame my wife
I have even blamed my loved ones for my own issues

Blame everybody around me, every day and every night
I have become consumed with blaming others, it's all I think about

All that blaming I was doing is why I'm alone in this fight
By refusing to take responsibility for my own life, I have created a sense of isolation

People dying every time
Tragedy and death are happening too frequently

Pain is numb with each crime
It is getting harder and harder to feel anything in response to all the terrible things happening

More tears? I cannot cry
I am so desensitized to despair that I cannot even cry anymore

Bring back my love ones from the sky
I wish I could reverse death and bring back those I have lost

Too bad more people gonna die
Unfortunately, death is an inevitable part of life and we will all experience it

Too bad we all gotta die
Death is a sad reality that we must all eventually face

I wish my love ones can hide
I wish those I care about could avoid the pain and suffering of life

Tired of looking at this sky
I am sick of staring up at the sky, wondering when things will get better

Why!
I am filled with despair and a sense of hopelessness
