NO WAY
Rey Resurreccion Lyrics

I keep to myself I'm looking for answers, got too many problems
I am introverted and contemplative, in search of solutions to my many issues.

I've been laying low and no I ain't talking, no I ain't no loudmouth
I am keeping a low profile and not boasting about my actions or accomplishments.

Tried being elusive got lost in the process, don't know where the time went
I attempted to be mysterious and enigmatic but ended up losing track of time and direction.

It's moving too fast my city forgot me, my city forgot me
The pace of life in my hometown is too quick, and I feel like I have been forgotten.

I'm stuck in a rut my sis never woke up, I feel like I'm dreaming
I feel trapped in mundane routine, and the passing of my sister feels too surreal.

Old lady done left me but I can't be heartbroke, I gave her a reason
My partner left me, but I cannot be devastated since I did something to prompt her departure.

Gave her my heart but ain't give her no time
I devoted feelings to her, but I was not attentive or available.

All of this time I was chasing my dreams
I have been dedicating my time and energy to pursuing my aspirations.

Doing my thing out on the road, I'm just a playa I wanna play
I am traveling and pursuing my interests, and I feel like a player who just wants to have fun.

Stuck in the love of this game
I am trapped in the passion of this industry.

They just in love with the fame
Others are only interested in the attention and recognition associated with success.

But love is it real is it fake
I am questioning the genuineness of love and the emotions associated with it.

In love with a dancer but I should've listened to Pain
I was infatuated with a performer, but I should have heeded the advice of others who warned me about potential hurt.

Caught up in similar ways like my pops was
I am experiencing some of the same situations and predicaments as my father did.

Shout out to the homies that's locked up
I'm giving a shout-out to my friends who are in jail.

Shout out to the homies that came up
I'm giving a shout-out to my friends who experienced significant success.

You the inspiration that we use when we down so keep the game up
You are the motivation that we rely on when we are struggling, so continue to persevere.

It seems like the world's moving on without me
I feel like society is progressing without my participation or involvement.

I've been on my own trying to find my peace
I have been alone, seeking tranquility in my life.

Though I've seen better days, I'll find my way
Although I have experienced more prosperous times, I am confident that I will overcome my current situation.

So just hold it down for your boy (Uh-oh)
Please support me and keep me in your thoughts (Uh-oh).

Keep the love around for your bou (Woah-oh)
Make sure that you continue to show affection to the ones you care about (Woah-oh).

And I'll never change, I'll stay the same
I will remain true to my character and my beliefs.

They'll never bring me down
No matter what challenges I face, I will not be defeated.

Well now I barely feel connected to my spirit sometimes
At times, I feel like I am disconnected from my essence, my inner self.

Like I'm running on my last fumes strange years of my life
I feel like I am running low on energy, and my life has been peculiar lately.

Highs, mids and the lows, flip lows, mids and the highs
I have experienced varying levels of success and failure, sometimes back and forth.

Guys who's engineering this and is he mixing it right
I wonder who is in control of my life, and if their decisions are wise.

Driven by different visions within my decisions that I choose
I am motivated by various goals, based on the decisions I make.

Mixing that with fading luck so is it really up to you
I am combining my aspirations with diminishing good fortune, making me uncertain about the outcome.

I can't complain I'm blessed I'm sane I'm dressed
Although I have experienced hardships, I remain grateful, mentally sound, and well-groomed.

But I'm strained and stressed like the rest in the western
I am under pressure and anxious, like many people in Western countries.

Hemisphere when it's clear I may veer off
Like any person, I may deviate from my intended path when things become more evident.

When it's challenging balance beam then I steer on - track
In times of difficulty, I focus on maintaining my stability and staying true to my course.

We react to what life throws but I froze
We respond to the obstacles life presents, but I felt paralyzed.

Unthawed and rethought that we got the right tools
After some contemplation, I reconsidered my capabilities and felt that I was equipped with the proper resources.

No love lost, what it cost I paid dues
Although I have made mistakes, I have compensated for them and paid my fair share of debts.

Break the rules, fuck the dumb, do the fool
I am not afraid to deviate from tradition or go against established ideas.

From Oakland we gone dumb we been smart
My colleagues and I in Oakland possess a unique intelligence and skill set.

Full of heart, hella art tell my part, player
We are passionate and artistic, focused on making a difference in our community (and I am personally dedicated to my contribution).

There we're where were supposed to be, yeah
We are currently in the right place, fulfilling our purpose and destiny.

No way, no way, no way
It is impossible.

They'll never break me down
I will maintain my strength and resilience, despite all obstacles.
