[Intro]

Yeah


[Chorus]

Runnin' plays, catchin' vibes

Envision a high place, am I livin' in the sky?

Better days, ran away

Chasin' a wave for what I thought gave way

Trailblaze, center stage

Is this what I want or is it all just fake?

Better days, ran away

Chasin' a wave for what I thought gave way


[Verse 1]

In a world full of safe sale

I come from a place where we end up in a jail cell

Some will call it hell, some will use it for motivation

All I know is, me, I made it out, now I'm the inspiration

Ever gave up everything and knows for everything

Blind faith, even Stevie could see we kill for what we want

Steal for what we don't need, fill ourself with greed and then try to proceed

Ayy, gang movin' like Wakanda, I'm suited up like T'challa

Hands folded on the mission (Ah yeah)

I see they lost in the sauce

Life bitter, not sweet and sour

Even seen giants fall, ah yeah (Yeah)

Gain the world just to lose it all

Know a millionaire who put a gun to his head and let it go

So when life talkin' to me, do I really wanna blow?

Will it really make me grow?


[Chorus]

Runnin' plays, catchin' vibes

Envision a high place, am I livin' in the sky?

Better days, ran away

Chasin' a wave for what I thought gave way

Trailblaze, center stage

Is this what I want or is it all just fake?

Better days, ran away

Chasin' a wave for what I thought gave way


[Verse 2]

Turns out, even with a million streams, million followers you can still feel like you failed

Tell you one thing, it ain't what it seem

But at times that's all I got in my genes is a dream

Uncle Johnny died, family never been the same

Feel like everybody separated, but not when it rains

Yeah, yeah, when it rain, it pour, yeah, yeah

Ayy, pain been bringin' a flood in, and then tell me what you want

Fame been bringin' them demons, lil' homie, don't front

Blame Jesus, never begin to ever change your heart

Trust me, I get it, matter of fact, I live it

I been lost stuntin', even a wise man asked me what it means

What is success for me and my family?

'Cause if you don't know, you'll be as lost as at sea


[Chorus]

Runnin' plays, catchin' vibes

Envision a high place, am I livin' in the sky?

Better days, ran away

Chasin' a wave for what I thought gave way

Trailblaze, center stage

Is this what I want or is it all just fake?

Better days, ran away

Chasin' a wave for what I thought gave way


[Outro]

Better days

Catchin' vibes

Better days

Better days

Better days

Chasin' a wave for what I thought gave way
