[Verse 1]

Lately I’ve been spending all of my time up inside of my mind

Looking for clues and to see what I’d find

I figured the answers where somewhere and hidden

And all that I needed to do was rewind

On myself and go try to reflect

I’m searching for reasons why I haven’t left

Man the only thing I ever felt here was stress

Even when I was killing shit giving my best

My homies took off to the west, and I’m kinda depressed

I chose to keep working so i could invest

Everything that i had in this dream and it seems that I’m finally starting to feel the effects

All us together on different quests, my friends and my family love em to death

I made sure I was flexible so I ain't stressing you people who telling me that its a stretch

I don been through it all, man. wars in my head

Thinking that I’m better dead, i get panic attacks

Every time I’m asleep i been waking up screaming and covered in sweat

Anxiety's killing me made me depressed but its one thing I look at as something to test

Me to see if i want it to see how i’ll get it, so I’m never sweating the days i don’t rest

Which is every night I been up working, every night I been up slaving

Every night i been up hurting so every night I’m creating

And crafting up something you’ll think is amazing

Man this is for people hated and acting like i don’t deserve it

Yawl get deserted, i don’t perspire it, yawl are the lighter which

Fuels all the fire that burns in the furnace

See this for all the pain, all of those nights i was going insane

All of the people who brought out the storms, setting off wars, every night up inside my brain

I don’t believe anything that you claim, so everynight I’m working till I’m drained

I finally found the sunshine in their rain


[Chorus]

Cause they don’t wanna see us win

They don't wanna see us win

Man they would rather see us fall

Man people easily forget, people easily forget

That we don’t sacrificed it all, that we done sacrificed it all

Aw man homie what I wouldn’t give, homie what I wouldn’t give

Just to see this shit pay off, just to see this shit pay off

See any obstacle that sits, see any obstacle that sits

I put it on my life it falls, we deserve to have it all dawg I promise you will win


[Verse 2]

Now it’s all on the line and i’m waiting for signs

Anything telling me that's its my time

Up in the studio working to five

Just making some shit that’ll shiver your spine

Just making some shit that’ll better your life

Making some shit that’ll set off your mind

Get your off of your ass make you pick of the slack

So your dreams and your life become one intertwine

And that’s all i been trying to do, why would they hate

I can’t relate, i wanna see you living good fuck good doesn’t cut it i honestly hope that you’re happy and great

I been misunderstood and hoping that some you out there can try to sedate

All the thoughts in your mind with the ones up in mine finding peace of the mind through the music I make

Man I don’t understand, we all have a chance

To try to turn all of our dreams into plans

But i feel like the people they don’t understand

That they tell you, you can’t cuz they know that you can

People fall victim to all of the systems

That try to convince em they need a diploma in hand

But all that you need is your self and once you see that that's when shit hits the fan

I ain’t giving a damn a damn if you get in my way. i’m running down everything up in my path

Everyone always had something to say, everybody got joy out of hating and laughs

Now they takin' it back while I’m taking a lap, victory dawg and they hating the fact

That i ain’t ever fuckin' coming back


[Chorus]

Cause they don’t wanna see us win

They don't wanna see us win

Man they would rather see us fall

Man people easily forget, people easily forget

That we don’t sacrificed it all, that we done sacrificed it all

Aw man homie what I wouldn’t give, homie what I wouldn’t give

Just to see this shit pay off, just to see this shit pay off

See any obstacle that sits, see any obstacle that sits

I put it on my life it falls, we deserve to have it all dawg I promise you will win
