Somewhere
Tony and Maria Lyrics

Uh
A vocal expression to indicate a change in direction or thought

Negativity gone shake it off me
I will not let negativity control me

I gotta make it running out of time be 30 in 3
I need to succeed soon because I'm almost 30 years old

Don’t be playing on my line I cut off people with ease
I remove people from my life who waste my time

Don’t be surprised if we stop talking you don’t got what I need
I only speak to people who have something to offer me

I’m getting weak in the knees
I am feeling emotionally overwhelmed

I’m tryna move feel like SWV
I'm trying to progress and achieve success like the music group SWV

I got a plan to put a v beside v
I have a plan to improve and be better than I currently am

That’s a dub for all you late ones
That's a win for those who are not behind or out of touch

You **** talking legends I got what it takes to make one
I have the abilities to become a legendary figure

Don’t disrespect me with fake ones
Don't insult me with insincere or false people

I’m on a one way street it’s hard for me to turn around
It's difficult for me to shift directions or change my mindset

Thought this shit would change the same day I got my cap
I thought things would improve when I graduated

I’m capping now
I am lying to myself

Thought I had some time to change this shit around
I believed I had more time to make things better

Nobody gave me nothing that’s the reason why I’m hurting now
I am struggling because I didn't receive any help

I fronted how
I pretended everything was okay

You say you had my back but you just stabbed around
You claimed to support me, but you were not helpful

Feel like a clown
I feel foolish

I guess I wasn’t it
I did not have what it takes

So I’ll float around
I will go with the flow

Got hand me downs from cousins wasn’t big enough to fit their styles
I received clothes from relatives, but they didn't fit me well

My mom did all she could so when I got it I just faked a smile
My mom provided what she could, but I was not satisfied

Aye man y’all know y’all done got them mother fuckin clothes from your cousins man
Hey, everyone knows they've received clothes from family that didn't fit right

Know good and damn well them shit was too big for you
You know those clothes were too large for you

Y’all still gone try to rock them shits like it’s yours though
Despite the poor fit, you still tried to wear them like they belonged to you

Tryna claim you’re busting a lil sag or sum
Pretending the ill-fitting clothes were a fashion choice

Y’all **** know what I’m talking about man
You all understand what I mean

I bought a notebook just to write cause that means more to me
I purchased a notebook specifically for writing because it holds value to me

Figured that I would believe it more if I could look and see
I believe in my writing more when I see it in front of me

I’m focusing
I am concentrating on my craft

No commas in my bank but they want more from me
I have little money in my account but people still expect things from me

My Lil bro need commissary it varies if I got the cheese
My younger brother needs money for his basic needs, but I may not always have enough to give

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

Tired of being complacent
I am no longer willing to settle for mediocrity

These labels chasing these basics
Record labels are only interested in promoting simple, mainstream music

Remember rocking some asics
I recall wearing Asics sneakers in the past

And running from police chases
I have been pursued by law enforcement before

My **** still doing races and scamming with pending cases
My friends are still involved in illegal activities and awaiting trial

No wonder why we can’t get ahead
Our inability to succeed is understandable given the obstacles and setbacks we face

They know we gone do what it takes to get some ma fucking bread
Others recognize that we will go to great lengths to earn money

I had a chance to ball in college started rapping instead
I chose to pursue a music career instead of playing basketball for college

I should’ve chose the other route cause I got thoughts in my head
I regret not taking another path because I am now plagued with doubts and regrets

That make me feel like I fucked up
The thoughts in my head make me believe I made the wrong choice

I swear I’m tired of falling out with people forming fake love
I am tired of ending relationships with people who only pretend to care

No extras in my circle cause it’s different when you come up
I have few people in my inner circle because people's attitudes change when success comes

Sun up to the sundown
All day long

I’m stressed I done smoked pounds
I am overwhelmed and have smoked large amounts of marijuana to cope

I’m bless but I’m profound
I am fortunate but also have deep thoughts and emotions

And I’m saying man
I am expressing myself

Throughout all the negativity man I’m still out here man
Despite negativity, I am still working towards my goals

I’m still writing man I’m still gone drop these songs
I am still writing music and releasing it

I’m still gone drop these classics man
I will continue to create great music

Regardless of what anybody gotta say man
I will not be swayed by anyone's opinions

And that’s just what it is man
And that's the reality of the situation
