Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Goddamn, I got Balencies in the bathroom
I used to be fiendin' for 'em, dreamin' in the classroom
Turned in my exam, right then I knew it'd be the last room
For school I walked into felt my potential gettin' past due
[Verse 2]
Four years later, and my racks blue
And my whole team is seein' green like, "Yo, she acts too"
Now people take, and in your face say, "I ain't ask you"
But you been seein' how they live, so they ain't have to
And the whole world is conversatin' 'bout your waistline
And mental health days make you guilty, 'cause you waste time
I'm fightin' everybody demons but can't face mine
Baseline, use all that pain and anger and just make rhymes
How I'm upliftin' your whole life but still I hate mine?
How I get rich but still get pissed about the money?
Now everybody wantin' me to wear a fake smile
How I'm supposed to fake a laugh when ain't shit funny?
I'm running, but
[Verse 3]
Goddamn, I got Balencies in the bathroom
Droppin' all this change, it's just gon' end up in the vacuum
It was days I thought I need it
But now acceptin' all the change got me defeated
[Verse 4]
Goddamn, I'm on my second pair
One pair is out, one in the closet 'cause I left 'em there
Remind me every single night spent writin' raps ups in my closet
I ain't sleep much, but it paid off 'cause it got me here
I went to Europe, met a fan who lived in Paris
I know it hit me, 'cause I started walkin' different
For once in life, I spoke my mind, I'm not embarrassed
So many stories but my friends don't even listen
The only girl who got my heart live in Miami
I saw her smilin' in my head, I started plannin'
And listen, shit may change, but one day, yeah, I want a family
Already got a puppy, now my child the first of many
Got hella dreams, and as of late I steady see 'em
I had some idols as a kid, whoever knew I'd be one?
'09 stood in Atlanta, freezin' cold at 4 AM with my whole fam
Just to audition for a role I knew I'd be in
I didn't make it, but damn I made it
2-0-1-9 the year I waited
My mind been racin', gettin' closer, I can taste it
Got a story but I don't know how to pace it
It's lightning in a bottle, I been orderin' in cases
I'm fucking' wasted, but
[Verse 5]
Goddamn, I got Balencies in the bathroom
Starvin' for affection, someone meet me in the back room
I'm not insane, it's been a minute
But if we talkin' 'bout a game, I know I'm 'bout to win it, yeah
[Verse 6]
Goddamn, I got Balencies in the bathroom
Goddamn, I got
Goddamn, I got
Goddamn, I got Balencies in the bathroom
Goddamn, I got
Goddamn, I got
Goddamn, I got Balencies in the bathroom
Goddamn, I got
Goddamn, I got
Goddamn, I got Balencies in the bathroom
