Purgatory
d&j polimeno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Well you're wrong
The key, if you do strikeout
You gotta assess why
I thought I had my life planned out
Then I flipped it
Had an opportunity
But now I went and missed it
It's different
Didn't think
I'd have to make
Any more hard decisions
(Yeah, ay, yeah!)
It feels like I'm stuck in purgatory (yeah)
Had a plan
So my homies really hurting for me (yeah)
Had a job
But it wasn't really working for me (yeah)
Was alone
Now a bad thing twerking for me (ay)
Ain't as good as it seems
When it to good to be true
Then it ain't perfect you see
Ain't so good in execution
But dope as a scheme
Like when I pull up looking clean
Smoking dope on the scene yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
Whole world on slowdown (whole)
Had a path
But I don't know
Where to go now (don't know where)
Used to hearing yes
But get a lot of no's now (yeah no, get a lot of no's)
Wanna dream
But I don't even know how (don't know how)
Time feeling wasted
Face it
I gotta be patient
If I wanna make it
Then I gotta embrace it
Keep grinding on that pavement
Just to get that payment
Had a dream job
But now my dreams
What I'm chasing
I thought I had my life planned out
Then I flipped it
Had an opportunity
But now I went and missed it
Now it's hard to feel optimistic
It's different
Didn't think
I'd have to make
Any more hard decisions
(Yeah, ay!)
It feels like I'm stuck in purgatory (yeah)
Had a plan
So my homies really hurting for me (yeah)
Had a job
But it wasn't really working for me (yeah)
Was alone
Now a bad thing twerking for me (ay)
Ain't as good as it seems
When it to good to be true
Then it ain't perfect you see
Ain't so good in execution
But dope as a scheme
Like when I pull up looking clean
Smoking dope on the scene yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
At a fork in the road (ro-oh-oh-oad)
I thought I had a map
But now I'm lost nowhere to go (go-oh-oh-oh-oh)
All they say just take a break
And assess go with the flow (flow-oh-oh-oh)
But I had to take a chance
Will I make it I don't know (I don't know)
I think I'm stuck in a rut
And It feels so unfamiliar
I thought that I had found my girl
But turned out wasn't really her
My life sounded great
Coming through a filter
Had a straight line chance
Now my EQ isn't linear
I thought I had my life planned out
Then I flipped it
Had an opportunity
But now I went and missed it
Now it's hard to feel optimistic
It's different
Didn't think
I'd have to make
Any more hard decisions
(Yeah, ay!)
It feels like I'm stuck in purgatory
Had a plan
So my homies really hurting for me
Had a job
But it wasn't really working for me
Was alone
Now a bad thing twerking for me (ay, ay)
Ain't as good as it seems
When it to good to be true
Then it ain't perfect you see
Ain't so good in execution
But dope as a scheme
Like when I pull up looking clean
Smoking dope on the scene yeah
(Yeah, yeah)
Go up next time, and get ahold of that pitch
It's not about giving up it's about going deep
