Rittz Lyrics

Dear Lord, thank you for letting me be here to see another day again
Expressing gratitude to God for being granted the opportunity to witness another day.

I'm grateful to be alive, God bless the souls that came in with I'm so lucky
Feeling grateful for life and acknowledging the presence of companions in social and personal ventures.

To have a good family that loves me
Being fortunate to have a loving and admirable family that supports him in every aspect.

Please let my girl know how much I love her, Sorry that we're both so unhealthy
Asking God to convey his message of love to his girlfriend and displaying remorse for being unhealthy.

I feel so guilty, Every time I pray I feel like I ask her to help me
Feeling guilty for always asking his girlfriend to help him every time he prays.

I don't pray with the hopes to get wealthy
Clarifying that he doesn't pray with the intention of wealth accumulation.

I just want success I know it sounds selfish
Seeking success and trying to balance it with the guilt of being selfish.

I thought I'm gonna screw her, I finally had the chance to fix it
Feeling that he once wronged his girlfriend and now seeking to rectify it.

I signed a record deal all these years
Having signed a record deal after years of hard work.

I wish I was more optimistic, I'm really just scared
Acknowledging the lack of optimism and experiencing fear regarding future endeavors.

What if they don't like what they hear, What if I don't make a career out of music
Expressing anxiety over the possibility of disapproval and being unable to establish a successful career in music.

What am I supposed to do then, I'm always getting jobs
Questioning what to do in case music doesn't work out, and feeling frustrated about constantly working jobs.

I hate to see my face in the mirror
Feeling dissatisfaction and loathing when looking in the mirror.

And I wrote about everything so many times I don't have inspiration to spare
Having written about everything so much that new inspirations are hard to come by.

I barely even hear
Experiencing difficulties in understanding and grasping the surrounding sounds.

I've been down on the road And I feel like I've been gone all year
Spending most of his time traveling and feeling like a year has passed by.

Even when I'm home there's so much pressure to be here
Feeling obligated to be in different places despite being home.

It's hard to feel like I'm all there
Finding it hard to be present in the moment.

So many wish they could rest for a living So complain about us it's unfair
People who wish to take a break and not work find it unfair that musicians complain about exhaustion.

Some days I feel like I've been living in a dream Other times feeling like a nightmare
Experiencing highs and lows that feel like a dream and a nightmare.

And I need some of my peers 'Cause I have a bunch of songs to write
Acknowledging the need for peer support as he has several songs to write.

And I feel like my future depends on this Gotta rid myself of mirror plus these hand chips
Feeling that his future success depends on his music and the need to stop wasting time on vain activities.

Gotta get some confidence up in my paymentship
Recognizing the need to have confidence in his capabilities and financial management.

And I wanna disappoint the fans who listenin' 'Cause they expectin' something incredible in the end
Feeling responsible for not disappointing his fans who eagerly await something extraordinary from him in the future.

But that pain I'm nothing as I regain to get my strive back
Wishing to regain the passion, thrive and glory of the past to alleviate pain and shortcomings.

I'ma went with them when I was a kid When I was a kid my dad just play the guitar Me and my brother would pretend that we was in a band
Recollecting the childhood memories of imitating a band with his dad's guitar with his brother.

Musicians in my family dream to be stars Only to condensate something that you didn't attend my music
Acknowledging that musicians in his family once dreamt of becoming famous but did not recognize his passion for music.

Must've been playing the chosen one So I'ma go tripping and go behind this sniper rock
Feeling destined to be here and taking accountability to pursue music relentlessly.

Amen, song never came Strange music The life and times of Johnny Valiant
Concluding the song with the motifs that inspired the song, Strange Music, and Tthe life and times of Johnny Valiant.
