Deep in the Night
The Kays Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Money or music? It's difficult choosing like picking a parent my favorite is both
Love and support is more common than useful advice but it's rarer than striving adults
And why did it take me so long to release some new shit almost like i was setting new Goals
While few of you take the advice i know rest of you dogs will be out there still tracking a Hoe
I'm wearing the shoe when it fits but I've remained solid yet i've still been able to flow
When people still think I'm a kid i look at Laroi and feel like i'm destined to blow
You think that I'm corny as shit i probably am but corn always popping at shows
These bitches are salty like rits but when i'm doing good
My vision gets foggy I'm feeling like Arya really deep down i can't fuck with nobody
I don't got a needle not constantly strapped but I'm watching my back like a headless Zombie
If i wanted to end it all who's going to stop me
If i make a million which one of you will rob me
I've never felt wounds but i know that they've shot me
Now my soul is on lock and for years we've been counting
I've driving on this road road for way too long to slow slow
When i get tired bro bro can take the wheel he know know
I'm sipping on four loko while he tells me about his hoes post
Don't switch up on me no no you're supposed to watch me grow grow
Man who do you thinks really rocking with me?
Because ain't no guitar all i hear is the strings
And i only hear them because i made the beat
Bitch i've been alone on my own in the deep
I used to neglect it but now i accept it im chasing my dreams got to jump with my sheep
We've run into fences but none of them best me i get right back up like i walk in my sleep
I'm rapping like goats now im raising the bar
Can't lower my standards just lower my car
Got no competetion bitch i am a star
My ego took off like it's elon for mars
I got no connections like i need some wifi I'm still learning lessons been taking them hard
I know that a being controlling my path has a wide open slot for me up on the charts
I know that I'm a bit late but why complain?
I got a dozen places I could've been
But i still stayed
My vision gets foggy I'm feeling like Arya really deep down i can't fuck with nobody
I don't got a needle not constantly strapped but i'm watching my back like a headless Zombie
If i wanted to end it all who's going to stop me
If i make a mil which one of you will rob me
I've never felt wounds but i know that they've shot me
Now my soul is on lock and for years we've been counting
I've driving on this road road for way too long to slow slow
When i get tired bro bro can take the wheel he know know




I'm sipping on four loko while he tells me about his hoes post
Don't switch up on me no no you're supposed to watch me grow grow

on State of Grace

Pain has taken over
my bones hurt from within
every thought thought is empty
i can't get out of this bed
please don't pity me now
I'm too insecure to fake
just do something different

Joseph Rose


on State of Grace

I'm not getting better
i can't feel a change
i don't feel different
will i stay the same?
And i can't hope for healing
I was told that it would come
