[Hook]

Tryna stay positive in this pandemic

Only thing on my street open is the damn chemist

Yeah I got my bars and my talent I'm academic

When I was unbalanced lots of people were mad offended

Issa peak time, Just like the stock markets

I'm low then I'm high, Tryna get a grip with events in my life

Got negativity coming up I push it aside

Yo I've been working 9 to 5 and nobody realize

[Verse 1: Shaco]

They just see me sitting on the chair they think they know me

I got a life outside don't act like you've been beside me homie

Yo I've been going ham while these phonies throw me bologna

Don't got anyone writing fo' me this came off the dome piece

Do it like me, you can not throw me off the throne see

Doppelganger flow, I don't care if you try to clone me

Got the voice of a soprano yo they call me Tony

Don't need approval from anyone, I got my homies

Your rappin is whack, if it sucks, then don't talk to me

Sebastian is back, in the cut, like nephrotomy

Nah man this is Shaco what the fuck you calling me?

Like making a grocery list, bread is what I also need

Walking everyday with bars in my head man I live with the beats

And I've been working hard all day, every day just waiting for the universe to give it to me

But I don't really give a fuck if I get nothing, I work more than a civic duty

I ain't trynna flex though, I do this shit for free

If you love what you do, then do what you love

I know I come off as aggressive and a wannabe thug

I ain't a vampire motha fucker, I don't want bad blood

Sharp like some fangs nobody can mess with me, don't give a fuck

[Verse 2: Tyrone Williams]

Yeah nobody realize, I'm just tryna survive

Gotta make it out somehow, I just dont wanna die

Every single days a struggle I'm just tryna stay alive

Hop into the booth and I'm grinding like its that 925 (9 to 5)

Got this chip on my shoulder

Things are changing as I get much older

We approaching the fall things begin to get much colder

Especially myself, had to leave my last chick just to save my mental health

And that ain't, no joke

Nothing was ever good enough, that bitch wanted me broke

Looked in the mirror daily and I seen a hard working man doing the most

My life was fading away I was losing so much hope

But I bounced back, shifted gears, and I started to go too fast

Couldn't even fathom the idea of finishing last

Too many times I tried to replicate what I did in the past

Hoping that this new project would be better than the last

But I found out how to stay grounded and to stay present

Everywhere I go people look at me like I'm a luminescent

Got my life straight, now they treat me like I'm an investment

Thats the typa shit that happens when people get desperate

So let it be known how I roll with it

They wondering why the throne is taken, it's cause Tyrone's in it

Jealously fills the air, they want my life but won't admit it

Thats why I stay in the skies (in disguise), so they have to Elevate to get it
