[Verse 1]

I ain't tryna be like them

I know I'm supposed to be different

Forever self quarantined and socially distant

Cause I got no time for nobody approaching me tripping

Or getting close to folks that's holding resentment

I call my brother up like "waddup my nigga we ain't spoke in a minute"

Said he broke and he think he gon' end up closing his business

But bro I still remember back when you had told me your vision

And how you wasn't letting go til it's finished, but dawg I understand

Life is hard and it only gets harder sometimes

It's lika an anchor brought us to the bottom of the water sometimes

In a coronavirus world, where it's like coughing's a crime

And niggas fall below the poverty line

It's all about dollars and dimes

But nothing matters more than quality time

So I should probably call my father when he crosses my mind

Cause the day gon' come when that ain't gon' be an option of mine

My pride's impossible to swallow sometimes

[Chorus]

I never fall down when the cold wind blows

Stranded outside in the rain

Waiting on tomorrow but I know how it goes

Trauma followed by the pain

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

Tryna to live without love is like trying to smoke without no flame

Don't underestimate the power that you hold inside your brain

I sent my ex a text and asked if she'd come over and she came

I let her know that I ain't over her and I never overcame

I'm still close to overdosing from an overload of pain

Hitting hoes while thinking lord I know I'm supposed to know her name

It's either Lori or Lorraine or is it Tori I'm ashamed

I can't be sure because I've surely still got shorty on my brain

I been absorbing up the game and I'mma tell you what I learned

There's a lot of things you'll put in, that ain't gon' ever be returned

You'll get backhanded backstabbed and set ablaze to burn

But you gotta still find time to celebrate what's earned

Took the blinkers out my whip 'cause I don't ever take no turns

Always kept it straight, don't let that pressure make me squim

Wrote my first verse and had my destiny confirmed

I just figured they would never be concerned

[Chorus]

I never fall down when the cold wind blows

Stranded outside in the rain

Waiting on tomorrow but I know how it goes

Trauma followed by the pain

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]

I waited my whole life for this

Now I think I'm right for this

Ain't even have to write for this

It's flowing from the heart, I see these

Niggas tripping and giving up on they vision

I'm just trying to make the music that's gon' show 'em out the dark

Cause I had nothing, not a fan, not a mic

Now I just might spend a band in a night

Shorty balance on the dick like she stand on a bike

Told her I'mma make her rich and I put that on my life

Got my niggas with me

These been my brothers since my younger days

Never been the type to be no slaves we all some runaways
