lyrics

My dreams are giving up on me and I'm over it.
I said what I said. It's hard to own this shit.
Late 20's, haven't seen the world since I was a kid.
Maybe it's time to try something else and get a win.
Before it's too late, and I'm nothing but lost in thought.
What's another tour of sleeping on the floor and seeing another parking lot, my heart is shot.
Whether it's hard or not, I log on to an app and feel old.
I thought this would never happen to me, it's the kid's turn while I rot.
If only I partied less and took all the advice I got, or nah. Why stop?
Regret ain't a good look, and I love what I've lived.
But this isn't the end of the road, I just wanna win.

Is it unhealthy if my goals have been switched?
From arena sellouts to expression more honest
so I can connect with whoever I hit, if ever I get
more than a couple streams on this shit.

"Is that Evil Key over there at the bar?"
"Who the fuck is that?"
"He's a cool producer, composer, and lyrical cat."
"Go say whatup!"
"Nah, he wouldn't like that. I'll give him a nod and let him enjoy his nightcap. His head is a battleground, he never left the fight."
Scenarios, not plans. I'll die thinking I had not one fan.

I'm not saying this is how it should be. But this is how it could be.
I'm not saying this is how it should be. But this is how it could be.
I never let myself win.
I never let myself go all in.
Fuck it, I'ma have y'all yawning.
I'ma take 2 and call no one in the morning.
