Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm overwhelmed by these emotions so you know
I'm drinking potions when I write these songs
Take a seat cause shit it might be long
From Night to Dawn, you know perspectives get influenced by the Vice hes on
I know at times it seems I might be strong, but look I'm flawed
Insecurities and self doubt I'm tryna fight em all
You see it's hard to make a change whenever pride involved
That's bullshit, society gone try to break a nigga
Toxic gone kill the love, the law be tryna take a nigga
Adversity is what's gone shape me nigga that's on Gang
You ask Burgie Streetz I promise he gone say the same
Tryna get love from people who could never see the vision
My heart told me it was dead, but shit I barely listen
Support means like everything to niggaz chasing dreams
So when you go against the drive you go against the team
I been reaching high I want everything
I been staying down I been on the same yea
All I got is my team, and they there when I need to
Lean on them for anything
I been reaching high I want everything
I been staying down I been on the same yea
I Work for the cream
And it's falling on me, cause you now that I got bigger dreams
Show no mercy, that's how it be yeah, yeah
Show no mercy, when it comes to our dreams yeah
Show no mercy, cause it falls on me yeah yeah
All I got is my team, and they there when I need, to lean on them for anything
All I need in this life of sin, is just me and drive to win
Ima go hard til the end
You niggaz lacking man that's hard to defend
Just understand these people judge me by the dark of my skin
I got a lot of shit depending on me
Live with these fears of the devil out here winning on me
That's why my head is out here spinning on Me, They got me on an Island
I'm Deontay Wilder in the 7th tryna catch my balance
Look I'm ready for that challenge, plus and anything that's goes
Cause I'm working on my plan and I'm tryna hit these goals
I was praying for these highs but im always hittin lows
I was trapped stuck in my head and I ain't got no place to go
I ain't got no one to talk to so this mic the one that knows
And this music is the only thing that hit a nigga soul
They was bringing me that heat, it just made a nigga cold
Even though I'm in my head, just now a nigga never fold
I was praying, my head up to sky
Know he always listen, I was scared to ask him why
These random acts of God got me wondering the plan
So I get it how I live I was tryna be the man-Two's
I been reaching high I want everything
I been staying down I been on the same yea
All I got is my team, and they there when I need to
Lean on them for anything
I been reaching high I want everything
I been staying down I been on the same yea
I Work for the cream
And it's falling on me, cause you now that I got bigger dreams
Show no mercy, that's how it be yeah, yeah
Show no mercy, when it comes to our dreams yeah
Show no mercy, cause it falls on me yeah yeah
All I got is my team, and they there when I need, to lean on them for anything
I stand here tryna figure it out
when yo ambition shooting high but you live with the doubt
You wanna shine all in this game but they sitting you out
And people start to acting different it's weirding you out
La look you peeped the change up, that shit was strange
When it happened I'm standing tall but that shit was pain
You was nigga from the core man that shit was lame
We tried to get back to before but ain't shit the same
So I move different, I'm gettin focused, still wishing and hopin
But these leeches and these locust is steady rippin me open
I'm fighting some strong demons, I'm needing my soul cleaned
Sleep should be escaped but I'm stuck in so cold dreams
so I slip into my vices, and think bout the past
How a nigga was out her fighting and take all the jabs
Thats the price of tryna live righteous in this world of crabs
So I'm constantly living my life inside of boarded glass
I was praying, my head up to sky
Know he always listen, I was scared to ask him why
These random acts of God got me wondering the plan
So I get it how I live I was tryna be the man-Two's

Unexpected events caused by God have left me pondering His intentions
So I get it how I live I was tryna be the man-Two's
I understand and accept my circumstances, as I was striving to become a better person
