i gave a lot of me to so many people
but aint got shit in return
built some equity in it
im thinking just let it burn
cos aint no use in a venture
thats brewing hate in my heart
didnt follow my instincts
i saw it right from the start
so i aint got no one to blame but moi
cos when theyre in it for the hype
they couldnt see very far
i was naive to thinking they could see the vision in time
but you cannot change people
we just are who we are
boy im telling you the industry is not what it seems
when they smell money they wanna be part of your team
they swear that they gon ride with a nigga till the wheels fall out
its a matter of time before they selling you out
same niggas singing your praises hope to celebrate your demise
came in the room as a brother but he a snake in disguise
come around to take advantage but when that dont fly
turn around and try to burn you alive
true story Add or View Explanation [Show/Hide]
though know dey say that no one is perfect
thats why we struggle everyday
just know that every single day is a blessing
am just tryna find my way
i keep my head above water
tell me whats the use of looking sad
keep my head above water
cos it aint all bad
finally you have to make a move
watching the p & l
analysing financials
learning from those who failed
nothing wrong with a pivot when streams are drying up
create a new venture with cash you tying up
if i’m looking to hit a billi
i’m on the wrong path
with music alone
ive been doing the wrong math
evaluating my skillset and how to evolve
cos what i could be worth when i retire’s what i had to resolve
so yes i took a turn for the better
whatever the game i remain a goal getter
they want me to fail
so they can laugh but they dont even know the half of it
they dont even know the half
mos def i miss the game
wish i aint had to leave
but now ive got more time with my girls and i can breathe
shoutout to all my fans
i still love you to death
thats why i wrote this letter
its really heartfelt
please forgive me
though know dey say that no one is perfect
thats why we struggle everyday
just know that every single day is a blessing
am just tryna find my way
i keep my head above water
tell me whats the use of looking sad
keep my head above water
cos it aint all bad
