Stay Strong

Do you really take me in?

You wanna stay stuck but we gotta move on

You might feel weak but you gotta stay strong

Inside the grind it's time we get gone

We can't stay in the mud too long

You're not wrong it's a long shot

But I never heard that I just went non-stop

I'm gonna earn that

I used to say it to myself every day until twelve

Then I started getting doubts and I'd dwell

This chick she calls me Vel

Makes sense she takes my high away

Why did I promise we would fly away?

I'm so dumb sometimes when I'm lusting

A couple girls I really should've never put trust in

Showed me never trust a woman peak for the women

I could've probably wifed one but I'm sitting

By myself thinking

Myself beyond brinkage

It's overspill

Contamination and it's overkill

I spill my thoughts like a drunk but I'm sober still

Still caught in the rut 'cause when I smoke I'm still

Over-real looking over reels coping

Kill the fake shit they got a hold on us a tight grip

I might trip

'Cause you're acting brand new

And I never turned on you Let's make a truce

I ain't gonna say what you did

Same way don't say my name on the strip

Or around the way

You could've been chasing a pound that whole day

That's why we never worked out

Your heart sleeps next to bitterness in the dark

And it turns out...

⸻

You wanna stay stuck but we gotta move on

You might feel weak but you gotta stay strong

Inside the grind it's time we get gone

We can't stay in the mud too long

⸻

We could've made a mini me and you

I wanted to see the "me" in you

Any issue that comes we were gonna see it through

And through it I'd see

All the wars you were bleeding through

Before it was me

Sending you texts with a kiss that should've been on your cheek

I think deep

Never stop observing

Stuck between: am I selfish? Do I deserve it?

I can't seem to get comfortable with a verdict

Maybe I'll end up wishing it was worth it

But nothing's perfect

I hit the M-way and burn it

Got three in my hat for the return trip

Box out the whip with Trip set the turf in

The game set the foundation and make plays

I'm a nonstop workaholic never am I stopping are you clocking?

Catch me at my job going hard I ain't dossing

But I wanna profit from my music dropping 'cause...

⸻

You wanna stay stuck but we gotta move on

You might feel weak but you gotta stay strong

Inside the grind it's time we get gone

We can't stay in the mud too long
