2 AM
Swavay Lyrics

It's two in the morning
It's currently 2am

And I move when I wanna
I have the freedom to move whenever I want

And I do what I wanna, got a whole lotta ammo in me
I am in control of my actions and have a lot of determination

And I shoot when I wanna, said I do what I wanna
I am not held back by anyone or anything and will take action when I choose to

And I move where I wanna
I have the ability to go wherever I desire

Chasin' this rap shit, fuck around and lose my soul (Uh)
I am putting all my effort into pursuing a career in rap music to the point where it may come at a cost to my personal wellbeing

Chasin' this rap shit, fuck around and lose my main ho (Uh)
My pursuit of rap may potentially result in me losing my significant other

I sit with my niggas, we plottin' on how to go pro (Uh)
I am strategizing with my close friends on how to make it big in the rap industry

I never had money, I'm hopin' that I don't go broke (Uh)
I come from a background of financial struggle and am hoping to avoid going back to those circumstances

'Cause if I go broke, it's back to the bullshit
If I become financially unstable, I will need to return to the negative and difficult circumstances I come from

I know I leave my niggas
If I don't succeed in rap, I will feel like I let down my close friends

And they lookin' to me like a preacher at the pulpit (Uh)
My friends see me as a leader and expect me to guide us to success

I got some problems, I'm tryin' not to face this shit (Uh)
I have some issues I am actively avoiding and do not want to confront

But what's worse than facin' it? It's, nigga, fakin' it (Uh, uh)
I believe that it is worse to pretend that everything is okay than to confront my problems head-on, even if it's difficult

My mama just wanna spend time with her son
My mother desires to spend quality time with me

She wanna know 'bout all the shit I done done
She is interested in all aspects of my life

I told her, "I'm working, I can't pick up phone"
I informed my mother that my work prevents me from answering her calls

I told her, "In time, I'll be done with the run"
I promised my mother that I will soon finish my current endeavors and make time for her

My girl, she just wanna spend time with her nigga
My girlfriend desires to spend quality time with me

But I'm stackin' every single dime and nickel
I am focused on building my finances and potentially sacrificing time with my girlfriend to do so

I'm prayin' it all be better when I'm richer
I have faith that my hard work will pay off and result in a more positive future

Just hopin' that she don't cry me out the picture
I fear that my girlfriend may not stay with me and thus leave me out of her life

I can't tell you nothin' but the truth
I can only speak honestly and share with you my genuine thoughts and feelings

I can't take nothin' of it's loose
I am only interested in pursuing opportunities that I believe will bring success and have a clear plan

I can't take notes from the booth
I am not open to feedback or advice in regards to my craft

I deal with my problems no different from you
I face issues in the same way that anyone else does

We still the same human but different in views
We all share humanity, but have different perspectives and approaches to life

I rather just face it, I rather not fake it
I prefer to confront my problems and deal with them honestly than to pretend that everything is okay

My nigga, I'm different from you
I recognize that my persona and experiences make me unique and different from those around me

So why would I take off my shoes when I'm finna run out and move?
Why would I waste time taking off my shoes if I am ready to take action and make things happen?

I know I'ma deal with my problems as soon as a nigga walk under that roof
As soon as I am presented with an issue, I will address it head-on and deal with it directly

So why would I take off my shoes? I'd rather stay up in my blues
Why would I slow down or take a break when I would rather stay tough and handle any challenges that come my way?

Said I move when I–, Said I move when I–, Said I move when I–
Repetition of the idea that I have the freedom to move and take action in accordance with my own desires and plans
