Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I adapt so
Please forgive me if i ever was an asshole
Feel it in my soul
I'm swerving potholes and jumping forks in the road
So I let my imagination take the way
As i run through life
Trying not to make the same mistakes
Ha, I'll be okay
But if i see no way to freedom
A rich nigga, i would hate to be him
Staring at the colosseum like its home
And thinking bout' the life that'll someday be my own
The negativity that my generation condone
I'm just narrating the story as it unfolds
Right now I'm envisioning
Things going differently
But there ain't no difference between me and who i wish to be
Put it on the people that are kin to me
I try my best to hone all of the talents that were sent to me
May the name infinitely
And most of yall dreams never survive its infancy
And i'm just looking like that can't be who i'm finna be
I can't be my biggest enemy
Involved in all the shit these niggas tend to be
Cus most people won't respect til you possess what they aspire to attain
An ignitor of the flame
Gettin' higher off my name
Sometimes i feel like ain't no point in trynna spark a change
As the world keeps turning and we get lost in the days
Day by Day
I hope the air sweeps in my way
Cus if this doesn't end my way
And I've already sealed my fate
I'll find a way to heal my pain
Sacrifices I've made
All the risks that I'll take
Hoping that it ends my way
Aye Aye, Yeah
Uh, Uh
Hey, I envision being with a different woman all the time
Not one with different dreams but the same goals as mine
Cus I feel I'm being pulled down while I'm trynna fly
When your with someone whom there is nothing more than meets the eye
But, so it goes
And you know it shows
In my eyes, all my woes and the tears that i've cried
But heres where i lie
And fear, I shall not
I'ma have the life since a kid, that I've sought
What they say don't live in my heart
But breed in my mind
In the soil of my dreams, plant a seed at a time
Too young to recline
Too late to rewind
I feel like i got it figured out when I've made up my mind
Ha, but I ain't perfect
But i adapt so
Please forgive me if i ever was an asshole
Feel it in my soul
Far as the eye can see as far as i'ma go
And they know
Day by Day
I hope the air sweeps in my way
Cus if this doesn't end my way
And I've already sealed my fate
I'll find a way to heal my pain
Sacrifices I've made
All the risks that I'll take
Hoping that it ends my way
Aye Aye, Yeah

I often imagine being in relationships with different women
Not one with different dreams but the same goals as mine
I am seeking a partner who shares my aspirations and values
Cus I feel I'm being pulled down while I'm trynna fly
I feel weighed down or held back by certain aspects of my life
When your with someone whom there is nothing more than meets the eye
When you are with someone who does not offer much depth or meaning to your life
But, so it goes
That is just the way things are
And you know it shows
My feelings and experiences are clearly evident
In my eyes, all my woes and the tears that i've cried
My struggles and hardships are visible in my emotional state
But heres where i lie
But I am determined to keep moving forward and working towards my aspirations
And fear, I shall not
I refuse to be held back or paralyzed by my fears
I'ma have the life since a kid, that I've sought
I am pursuing the life that I have always envisioned for myself
What they say don't live in my heart
I am not swayed by the opinions or criticisms of others
But breed in my mind
I am aware of the negative influence that others can have on my mindset
In the soil of my dreams, plant a seed at a time
I am slowly but steadily working towards achieving my goals
Too young to recline
I am too driven and ambitious to rest on my laurels
Too late to rewind
I cannot go back and change the past, so I am focusing on my future
And they know
I am aware of the challenges and obstacles in my path
