ivory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love you when you booming but hate you when you fall
Say I'll fall short, Imma still stand tall
Wise man once told me, time heals all
Show them what you got, and nothing of what you not
Even Michael Jordan made half of his shots
I been up brainstormin, been writing a lot
Senses heightened since I been lighting the pot
I'm writing a plot
In a battle with time like I been fighting the clock
Invested in this music like the stock price dropped
Choosing to milk it out since I'm the cream of the crop
When I said I'm dedicated, meant to say I'll never stop
Till the day that I die or when I've got what I've given
Had a dream, M.L. King, and I can't let it rot
Supply and Demand, what you need is what I am, man
Getting faded everyday
Just tryna get away
From this pressure to be great
Really fucking with my brain
So I get faded everyday
Use it as an escape
And no I'm not ashamed
Imma make it one day
Make it one day
No I'm not ashamed I'll get faded today
Let time waste away, at least now for the pain
I try to slow down cause it fucks with my brain
Same shit different haze, won't drive me insane
The saying, keep moving, pursuing these dreams
I'm doing this shit for me not everything what it seems
We put in work like machines
Eventually earn some green
But fail to realize all that lies in-between
I'm smokin, outspoken and I hope I got your mind open
Mind floats in this flow like a devine potion
Like the ocean, how I define motion
Accelerate with mass, press the gass and I go in
Cliff dive Rocky, not cocky but try and stop me
I shoot like paparazzi, salute like I'm a nazzi
Recoop, you still ain't got me shit I shoot like I'm the top seed
Dropping philosophy, high as fuck on that ganja tree
Getting faded everyday
Just tryna get away
From this pressure to be great
Really fucking with my brain
So I get faded everyday
Use it as an escape
And no I'm not ashamed
Imma make it one day
Make it one day
Tell them we the greatest they'll probably say we playin'
Seems they might never listen to what we are sayin'
Days fade into nights, I stay in
This vision in my mind replaying
Like Raven, bout greatness
God I'm faded
Steady contemplating, this paper chasing I'm hating
Life is like a dream, remember it's what you make it
Come dark clouds and rain, you can make them sun rays
Keep your head to the sky and you can make it one day
Tryna make my way in a game so out of order
Overflowing shit, like potty porta
Smoking shit from down in Florida
Till my mind is out in orbit, spit heat, leave the mic scorching
I don't like a slight portion, I'm enormous
Can't match our performance, outlast our endurance
Get high release endorphins, third eye always explorin
Soar the sky with ambition, enhance your vision
Sit and listen if you're fading away
Getting faded everyday
Just tryna get away
From this pressure to be great
Really fucking with my brain
So I get faded everyday
Use it as an escape
And no I'm not ashamed
Imma make it one day
Make it one day
Imma make it one day
Make it one day
