Growing Pains
reyrzy Lyrics

Funny how nothing much changed when i thought That i got it like that
Despite my efforts, it seems like nothing has really changed as I had hoped.

Everybody thinks i'm doing great but the fact of the matter is I don't really feel like that
Although others may perceive me to be successful, I don't truly feel the same way.

I got the degree, the keys, the job security Family so proud of me, but I don't believe in me
Even though I have achieved certain milestones like a degree, keys to my own place, and job security, I still lack faith in myself.

I love all my people, but damn they just don't know I'm not ready to share it so I play it humble
I appreciate the support of my loved ones, but they don't fully understand the struggles I face, so I act modest and downplay my situation.

I'm so proud of you, stay widdit, damn, how i put on a good show Paralyzed by my thoughts, I should really let them go
Even though people around me are proud and impressed, I am held back by negative thoughts and need to learn to let them go.

This ain't good for my mental, it's simple Man this got me fucked up
These thoughts and feelings are detrimental to my mental health, and it's clear that they are negatively affecting me.

How did I get to be like this I worked so hard just to get me here Damn I feel so alone Only feel good when I reminisce Wanna take a trip to the times I miss
I'm questioning how I arrived at my current state despite working hard, feeling isolated, and only finding comfort in the past.

It's feeling so different I just wanna leave, yea I'm sick of this distance From the old me, no
Things feel drastically different now, and I wish to leave this state behind. I am tired of feeling disconnected from my former self.

I'm done reminiscing It's time I break free I know what I need Don't need no more wishing I'm all that I need
I'm finished dwelling on the past and am ready to move forward. I am confident in what I need and am done just wishing for something more.

Fast forward to present day, I'm doing much better I understand now, it's about perspective And that the learning never ends Healing and pain are both my friends
Presently, I am in a much better place. I have come to appreciate the importance of perspective and continue to learn, seeing that growth comes from both positive and negative experiences.

It's become clear and more evident What others think is irrelevant It's not what they teach It's what I believe It's not what they want It's about what I need
I have realized that my own beliefs and needs are paramount, as the opinions of others aren't as important.

No matter what happens I stay true to me I'ma make sure I succeed On the terms defined by me
Regardless of any situation, I remain true to myself and am confident in succeeding on my own terms.

So I lift myself up Found my peace once I looked within Worked so hard just to get me here Now I'm here standing up
I have gained a sense of inner peace and have lifted myself up from my past struggles. All the hard work has paid off, and I am now standing tall.

My success I'ma manifest I'm moving on with no regrets It's feeling so different I finally see That all of this distance Just led back to me
I am determined to manifest my own success and am moving forward without any regrets. Things feel quite different, and I finally see that the distance I felt just led me back to myself.

Don't need no convincing It's all up to me I know what I need It's just the beginning
I don't need anyone else to convince me of what I need to do. It's all up to me, and I know exactly what that is. This is just the beginning for me.
