Alley Oop

Ayy, card got declined inside the store (in the store)

Rent still due up on the first (on the first)

Whip broken into where I stay at (where I stay)

But I'm still findin' ways to make it work (mm-mm-mm)

Prayin' that somebody out there prayin' for me, baby

I been sendin' prayers up like alley-oops

Prayin' that somebody out there prayin' for me, baby

I been sendin' prayers up like alley-oops

I been sendin' prayers up and alley-oopin'

Early mornings in the lab and straight hoopin'

I got dreams of somethin' bigger than this day job

So if you know who changin' lives, then introduce me

Ain't no way I'm goin' only stay at my crib

I told my pops I ain't gon' stop 'til they recruit me

But if this job put me down to do one more shift

Then I promise you, my boss is finna lose me

Don't got time to be slackin' at all

Back to back with sessions and shows, with my back against the wall

I'm an actual dog

There be days that I wanna quit, but I have to evolve

All I have is this dream of mine and a bag of resolve

I'm talkin' 'bout no rest for me, I don't even got the time yet

Landlord pressed for money I ain't provide yet

Can't force none, just trust and we gon' be fine

But this paycheck ain't enough to pay these bills

'Cause I peeped that

I been sendin' prayers up like alley-oops

Prayin' that somebody out there prayin' for me, baby

I been sendin' prayers up like alley-oops

Uh, some days it feels like I'm not sure I got too much left to give

Baby, I'm tired, oh baby, I'm tired

Uh, some days it feels like I'm not sure I got too much left to give

Baby, I'm tired, oh baby, I'm tired

Uh, I've been fatigued, but I'm still pushin'

Box springs on the back, the couch ain't come with no real cushions

Ramen with the water closest I get to real cookin'

Been workin' every night with hopes I get me a meal from it

With every bill I make, another couple of bills come in

I don't got the time or the space to be shy in a race

When I know how much I gotta make it work

Guess I gotta grind to the pape', get a line, then a bank

Seven zeros when you look into the purse

I done seen the lowest of the lows

Promise I ain't trippin', I been sowin' for the soul

Things I'm 'bout to whip will feel like gold inside a stove

No ceiling for me, limitless, the goal's to build a home

From wearin' Reeboks and sellin' clothes on Depop

To standin' in arenas, our songs made at the crib

Threw up a couple peace signs, locked in to build a design

Someday I'll get to recline, but right now all I know is tryna get it 'cause my
