Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, let it go and let God handle the rest
The deeper it gets, I'm findin' it harder to hold my breath
Stumblin' in quick sand, runnin' out of escape plans
Wish I could just see God in the flesh
Reach for his hand to lift me out of this mess
I'm uninspired and my family addin' up to the stress
I'm exhausted from unravellin' the secrets they kept
Feel like I'm forcing myself to endure the feelings they felt
Feel like I'm goin' through hell
From the firmament, I feel like I fell
[Verse 2]
Would you still believe in me if I fail?
Would you still remain yourself if I end up doing well?
Would you depend on my wealth?
Would you still be confident enough to ask for some help?
Casual trips in and out of the West, my mama's address
Me and that place got a special connect
Even though it ain't the same from my past
That place is where my rap dreams manifested, nevertheless
[Verse 3]
It's been difficult keepin' up since I left
Another day, another story to tell
Another death, another **** in jail
Yeah, another death, another **** in jail
[Verse 4]
One two, one two
Another day, another **** in jail
Yeah
[Verse 5]
Yeah
Pay homage, everything is for sale
Since a kid, I always knew music was paramount
Never minding school, told my dad, "After this I'm heading out"
Our neighborhood always been blessed, they in the golden era
'Bout to build a bridge between West Side and International
Most of my first ever recorded songs were with the same ****
That I'm with at the back of my crib, doin' shit
Word is bond, it cut deep, I used it as my weapon
Yeah, thankin' the Lord, my vocal is my major blessing
[Verse 6]
And the Grammy award goes to
The young and hopeful **** from the west
Who made sure his words are soulful
Speak from the heart and speak true
Emerge from the dark and just light up every room
That you walk in, always leave 'em talkin'
It don't matter what they say, 'cause
They could love you know and then hate you the next day
Figure that shit out, and then come back the best way
More tunes for the haters, 'cause music is the persuasion
[Verse 7]
We got weed for the elevation, call my mama, tell her I made it
We got weed for the elevation, call my mama, tell her I made it
Reapin' all the pain that I've sowed
Pain that I've sowed
One two, one two
