Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I needed a grip on reality, chasing the bag took its toll on my sanity
Jumping on stage with no meaning of gravity
Money goes straight to the family
I never did it for likes and shoes or cars or fame or ice and pearls
I did it to give me a chance at building a life and seeing the world
[Verse 2]
When you're the kid they said would fail, would touch a scale and never prevail
The wasted potential, it plays with your mental, I had to do something to level the field
Watching 'em winning, that had me thinking of sinning like, fuck it, I'll do something dumb
It took me a minute, I thought I finished, I picked myself up and said "No, I ain't done"
[Verse 3]
For the life I deserve, there was a time there was nothing I wouldn't of done
I fell in love with the chase
I lost friends on the way, I'll be honest it weren't always fun
The jealousy gets in the way, the loyal betray
The envy it rolls off the tongue
But I say the darker the days, the louder the praise
It feels like I've already won
[Verse 4]
Now I can't complain cah my life's alright
Big smile on my face when my name's in lights
If I said it was love then I wouldn't break ties
The ones that was there for the times that I cried
It was love from my killys that kept me alive
[Verse 5]
Now I can't complain cah my life's alright
Big smile on my face when my name's in lights
If I said it was love then I wouldn't break ties
The ones that was there for the times that I cried
It was love from my killys that kept me alive
[Verse 6]
Love from my mother that kept me alive
Pray to my hands when I needed advice
I know they ain't happy I started to thrive
You win when you're silent, don't give a reply
[Verse 7]
Gave all I got, that was just to survive
Wishing me well but that's just a disguise
You with me or what? It ain't hard to decide
Ain't patting my back if you're holding a knife
[Verse 8]
This life's full of stranger things
When danger rings, they sing like angel hyms
But that still ain't the strangest thing
The lamest thing, they drip makes a king
With no seat, no table or plate to bring
With no views, no goals or a cup to drink
No plan for the future or brain to think
So if that shoe does fit, I don't rate your ting
[Verse 9]
For the life I deserve, there was a time there was nothing I wouldn't of done
I fell in love with the chase
I lost friends on the way, I'll be honest it weren't always fun
The jealousy gets in the way, the loyal betray
The envy it rolls off the tongue
But I say the darker the days, the louder the praise
It feels like I've already won
[Verse 10]
Now I can't complain cah my life's alright
Big smile on my face when my name's in lights
If I said it was love then I wouldn't break ties
The ones that was there for the times that I cried
It was love from my killys that kept me alive
[Verse 11]
Now I can't complain cah my life's alright
Big smile on my face when my name's in lights
If I said it was love then I wouldn't break ties
The ones that was there for the times that I cried
It was love from my killys that kept me alive
