Intro:

Aye where you trying to go?

Aye where you trying to be?

Aye where you trying to go? X2

Verse 1

I want to wake up around 2 up in the afternoon

& not trip about getting ready for work soon

But where I'm from that's even if you find employment

But it's for the money, it's not for your enjoyment

I want to be in Cancun watching the sun rise

On the beach, with a bad Brazilian broad by my side

But instead I'm here where every girl claims their seldom

But quick to leave you if you can't afford to get their nails done

Hoping i switch places, shift over

& blind the person that's in front of me when i turn my wrist over

Rather hear a crowd ask me for an encore

Then hear my fam say it's something they ain't got time for

I want fans at my concerts tailgating

Bad broads with dirty thoughts at my hotel waiting

Hear them say they love me? I know they're lying

Would feel good to let them in, but feel better to deny them

Damn, I used to want my name in the lights

But I can't afford the bill if my soul is the price

The pen appointed me, i just evolve when i write

Elevate, flight, they need to understand it takes light

Look, I sign off, never will I sign here

I denounce this world's glory when I rhyme here

I was selected to be neglected, least suggested

But hold the deepest message, but they ain't interested

So I'm left wondering how

Should I dumb down my lyrics, should i change up my style?

Wow, I really got to downgrade to get the green?

I ain't never heard of underachieving to reach a dream

See this money ain't a matter of urgency

But currently my currency is in a state of emergency

See I ain't desperate to make a transition

& why when reality neglects my ambition

Reflects a failed mission, rejects me when I'm wishing

Why shoot for the stars when I always run out of ammunition

Don't want to be a nominee on them award shows

Don't need to hear once, that the award goes...

To me RayClev, for his heart, & his devotion

Clean with every word spoken, never heard of boasting

Please excuse me for my thoughts & emotions

Mixture of truth & pain, faith over being hopeless

Outro:

Wordz of Guns:

Aye where you trying to go?

To a better place

Aye where you trying to be?

Just in a better place

Aye where you trying to go?

To a better place

Where you wanna be?

In a better place

A better place x4

RayClev:

We as a people it's time to grow

So hands up, heads high if you trying to go !
