Tribulations

All these trials and tribulations make me lose my patience
Yeah, we've been a long time in the making
Lifetime dedication, no overnight sensation
Just wanna tell my momma I made it

Hold on, wait, is that HDSN in my news feed?
Yes, Lawd, I try to come back as a new me
At least musically, I miss me
My smile, my glow, the old me, my energy
Life's not the same since my mom and I lost a musketeer
Hard to tell how we feel, everything's surreal
I don't play no pity game, girl, this is real
But here I am, keep your eyes peeled

This no trending sound for your new reel
I never made any tracks for mass appeal, whatsoever
Me and the homies pourin' blue gady to this beat, my dear
Till the pain disappears, so we don't have to live in fear
Got a lot of shit on my plate, though no happy meals
Nothing to conceal here, the truth will always reveal
I'm movin' mountains, huge as Shaquille O'Neal
Big motion, no hands on the steering wheel

All these trials and tribulations make me lose my patience
Yeah, we've been a long time in the making
Lifetime dedication, no overnight sensation
Just wanna tell my momma I made it

Do I have talent, dad?
Of course you have talent
You got all the talent in the world
You can be anything you wanna be
Remember, the saddest thing in life is wasted talent
You could have all the talent in the world

But if you don't do the right thing, then nothing happens
But when you do right, guess what?
Good things happen
You hear me?
You're right (wasted talent)

Had to get out of the city for a bit, I had to leave
Too much trouble in me, stuck in a vicious cycle on repeat
Been livin' a life so obsolete
Ain't no one around here to compete, it's always me vs me
Music saves me in the dead heat
All them scars cut deep, please give me some relief
It's hard to rise above your own defeat
Struggle messin' with my mind, it ain't messin' with my steez

All I wish for is all I need
All them L's makin' life bittersweet, but I stick to the scheme
Peace of mind is what I seek
My grandpa, rest in peace, always said to me
"A man is nothing with no integrity"
This a core belief which I bleed, for real
There's always love ahead of grief
Desire often goes hand in hand with greed
It's all about what you seed

All these trials and tribulations make me lose my patience
Yeah, we've been a long time in the making
Lifetime dedication, no overnight sensation
Just wanna tell my momma I made it

All these trials and tribulations make me lose my patience
Yeah, we've been a long time in the making
Lifetime dedication, no overnight sensation
Just wanna tell my momma I made it
