Around
oyakhire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Starving
I'm just tryna get beyond the margins
Tryna save enough for a garden
But money doesn't grow on trees so I'm just getting started with this paper
And I need about a thousand acre's
Tell me I don't need a neighbour
Heavens up above and I don't need a saviour
Yeah I know my problems are always getting tapered
My visions like some lazers, surgical
Every word I say, purposeful
Every day I pray for some growth
So it's back to the grind hoping I don't ghost
Hoping my ambitions makes the most of what I'm tryna be
Where I'm tryna go and what I'm tryna see
Channeling the waves of my inner beasts
I can't see the water in my well decrease so I need to see my wealth increased
Or else I be like the others
I can't be a sucker
And that's probably why I end up causing a ruckus
Why I hurt my brothers and lovers
Why I'm hiding undercover
Why I need to break away from the suburbs
To another place in the globe
Incase the leaves are getting old
Why I need the cash in gold
Why I'm never around a foe
Why I need to pack and go to some other place
But is it all in vain?
I just wanna avoid the rain
So I'm stacking and packing
I don't know when I'm gonna be back again but somewhere

What goes around comes back
But I don't wanna be in that exact position I describe
So step aside, I need a photograph that's alive with scenery
The trees are green, the land is clean and we're all free to be who we want
Under the sun
Never biting my tongue
I'm just rapping for fun
But if it comes to blows I'll still be packing a punch
Places I'm tryna go I don't wanna be packing a lunch
So once I'm out, I'm out for good
Don't wanna be in the hood
Don't wanna be misunderstood
Don't wanna be recruited for an employer
Why do you think I avoid the delays
I just work hard, I'm tryna get my praise
I'm not phased by a number
If I make it past the next five summers
Then I'll be covered
Get some new fresh clothes for my cupboards
Then I'm out the suburbs like I said
All the problems from under my bed are laid to rest
Escape the stress can you relate to this
Someone help me evade this cause I need the red the pill




In the matrix
Where I'm headed is the safest
