Lyrics Figure It Out - Ollie Joseph

Post graduation, ain′t really made it
Thought it'd be different
The focus faded, the hoes done played me
It′s how I'm living
Problems I created are catching up
'Bout to close the distance
Tried to forget them, but now they′re here
All these muthafuckin′

My mind's in pieces and timings creeping
I need to beat it
But I′m facetious
Not serious with what I've been seeking
Hope y′all can see it
It's obvious, there appears to be no
Rhyme or reason to rhyme for reasons that all of y′all believe in

Pockets empty
My early twenties are packed with bad decisions
Scared to check the credit
I ran them digits up past the limit
My girls family hates me
It's something about her dad's religion
But I′ve got no time for relationships
They′re all bad for business

My pop's been ringing in to throw a lecture on it
Let′s be honest
I'm pushing back when they put the pressure on it
Been to college
I ain′t learn shit from buying them over priced books
Learned more for failing a class
Not being sober, I took
A different path than my friends who all got their diplomas
I'm more content with not having someone over my shoulder

But I′m pinching pennies, I need change
Someone's gotta give me something
Not close to breaking even yet
And I still got this muthafuckin'

Bill collectors calling, mama need some reassurance too
But I don′t have the answers yet
I didn′t meant to burden you
My girl's been playing games
I′m regretting who I've been messing with
And this all piling up
Feel like depression′s really setting in
I've gotta get it
Mind my business, my time is ticking
I′ve gotta move and make moves
It's time I buy my ticket
I don't know how I′ma get there
I ain′t configure the route
All these questions, quit distracting me
Let me figure it out

I'm still a kid, I don′t think I'm ready for this
I don′t think I'm ready to live
I′m scared to go and take a shot, and maybe fuck it up
Because I know I'm not ready to miss
All of my friends depend on me to make it big
But I'm the only one that′s putting in the effort
That′s the biggest stressor
If I don't make it there, they′re gonna think lessor

Can't think better, I′ve got bills coming in
And I don't know how Ima make the payments, and my dad keeps
Saying I should go and get a grad degree
′Cause it's always good to have a plan B
And he's probably right
But I don′t even know what path I′m on, or how I'ma get it
I just choose to go and laugh it off, hoping that′ll stop
All of this from really going and piling up

No matter what I do it just keeps growing
I've tried to move, but my feet frozen
Timing proves that I need more
It′s all getting to me
Should I quit now and go prepare my life?
Or attack my fears, take it to higher levels
Even though I've always been scared of heights

′Cause If I don't, then who else will?
This's my moment, this′s what I′ve chosen
Distractions had the boy sleeping on himself
Now I gotta keep my eyes open
And this real now
I'm addressing all the problems I′ve been ducking
The price to pay for this is huge, and I still got these muthafuckin...

Bill collectors calling, mama need some reassurance too
But I don't have the answers yet
I didn′t meant to burden you
My girl's been playing games
I′m regretting who I've been messing with
And this all piling up
Feel like depression's really setting in
I′ve gotta get it
Mind my business, my time is ticking
I′ve gotta move and make moves
It's time I buy my ticket
I don′t know how I'ma get there
I ain′t configure the route
All these questions, quit distracting me
Let me figure it out

These fuckin' bill collectors calling
Mama need some reassurance too
But I don′t have the answers yet
I didn't meant to burden you
My girl's been playing games
I′m regretting who I′ve been messing with
And this all piling up
Feel like depression's really setting in
I′ve gotta get it
Mind my business, my time is ticking
I've gotta move and make moves
It′s time I buy my ticket
I don't know how I′ma get there
I ain't configure the route
All these questions, quit distracting me
Let me figure it out
