Somewhere
Tony & Maria Lyrics

Uh
Opening sound to start the song

Negativity gone shake it off me
I am going to ignore all of the negativity that tries to bring me down

I gotta make it running out of time be 30 in 3
I am under pressure to succeed because I am getting close to turning 30

Don’t be playing on my line I cut off people with ease
I do not tolerate people wasting my time and will quickly remove them from my life

Don’t be surprised if we stop talking you don’t got what I need
If our conversations are not beneficial to me, then I will stop communicating with you

I’m getting weak in the knees
I am nervous or anxious about something

I’m tryna move feel like SWV
I am attempting to make a move or take action, and it feels like the group SWV's hit song 'Weak'

I got a plan to put a v beside v
I have a goal to earn more money than I currently make

That’s a dub for all you late ones
I have already reached my goal, and it is too late for anyone else to catch up

You **** talking legends I got what it takes to make one
I have the talent and determination to become a successful legend despite others' negative talk

Don’t disrespect me with fake ones
Do not try to deceive me or make flimsy offers

I’m on a one way street it’s hard for me to turn around
I am headed in one direction and it is difficult for me to change course

Thought this shit would change the same day I got my cap
I thought I would become successful as soon as I received my graduation cap, but it did not happen

I’m capping now
I am lying to myself or exaggerating the truth

Thought I had some time to change this shit around
I believed there was still time to improve my situation

Nobody gave me nothing that’s the reason why I’m hurting now
I am struggling now because I did not receive any help or support in the past

I fronted how
I pretended and acted like everything was okay

You say you had my back but you just stabbed around
You claimed to support me, but your actions betrayed me

Feel like a clown
I feel foolish or embarrassed

I guess I wasn’t it
I realize that success may not be meant for me after all

So I’ll float around
I will aimlessly wander or wait for an opportunity to come my way

Got hand me downs from cousins wasn’t big enough to fit their styles
I received clothes from my relatives that did not fit me properly

My mom did all she could so when I got it I just faked a smile
My mother did her best to provide for me, but I pretended to be happy with what I received

Aye man y’all know y’all done got them mother fuckin clothes from your cousins man
A side commentary about how many people can relate to this experience

Know good and damn well them shit was too big for you
A humorous acknowledgment that the clothes were too large

Y’all still gone try to rock them shits like it’s yours though
Despite the poor fit, people will still try to wear these clothes as if they belong to them

Tryna claim you’re busting a lil sag or sum
People will try to wear these clothes with a relaxed fit, or even claim to be trendy with a sagging aesthetic

Y’all **** know what I’m talking about man
The artist assumes his audience can relate to or understand his cultural references

I bought a notebook just to write cause that means more to me
I purchased a notebook as a tool to create music, which holds great value to me

Figured that I would believe it more if I could look and see
I have found that I am more confident in my abilities when I can see them tangibly

I’m focusing
I am concentrating my attention and energy

No commas in my bank but they want more from me
I do not have a significant amount of money, yet people still expect more of me

My Lil bro need commissary it varies if I got the cheese
My younger brother is in jail and may need financial support, but I may not be able to provide for him

Feel like I’ve been to patient for shit that make me feel vacant
I have been waiting for too long for things that ultimately leave me feeling empty

Tired of being complacent
I am no longer content with remaining in a stagnant situation

These labels chasing these basics
Music labels are only interested in artists who make simple, popular music

Remember rocking some asics
A nostalgic reference to wearing a popular brand of shoes in the past

And running from police chases
A mention of past danger or trouble

My **** still doing races and scamming with pending cases
People in my community are still participating in illegal activities and facing the consequences

No wonder why we can’t get ahead
The negative actions of some people hold others back from success

They know we gone do what it takes to get some ma fucking bread
Despite the challenges, people will take any necessary action to earn money

I had a chance to ball in college started rapping instead
The artist was given an opportunity to play basketball in college, but chose to pursue a career in music instead

I should’ve chose the other route cause I got thoughts in my head
The artist regrets past decisions and is consumed by negative thoughts

That make me feel like I fucked up
The artist feels like a failure or has made significant mistakes

I swear I’m tired of falling out with people forming fake love
The artist is tired of experiencing shallow relationships or false support

No extras in my circle cause it’s different when you come up
The artist is selective of the people in his social circle because it changes when success is achieved

Sun up to the sundown
The artist works tirelessly and consistently every day

I’m stressed I done smoked pounds
The artist is dealing with stress and uses marijuana as a coping mechanism

I’m bless but I’m profound
The artist acknowledges the positives in his life, but is still reflective and deep-thinking

And I’m saying man
A filler line, leading up to the outro

Throughout all the negativity man I’m still out here man
Despite the hardships, the artist is still persevering and pursuing his dreams

I’m still writing man I’m still gone drop these songs
The artist remains dedicated to creating music and sharing his message

I’m still gone drop these classics man
The artist is confident that his music will become timeless

Regardless of what anybody gotta say man
No matter what negative comments or criticism the artist receives, he will continue to create music

And that’s just what it is man
A final statement solidifying the artist's unwavering dedication to his craft
