How It Goes

Sometimes things don't go how you want 'em to go
And you don't feel how you wanted to feel
But you still move along
The world is gon' keep moving on
And I know

Remember when life was so easy
Rhyming in cars, writing bars
All I wanted was to be me
Watching stars going hard
Started out, no one believed me
Never thought I'd make it far
Negative energy feeds me
Turned myself into a boss
Knew that I'd find a way
Never been thinking about the pay
Can't let potential go to waste
I had to starve to get a taste
Never know what you can do 'til you try it
Sharing my story, now people buy it
On a commercial, but I stay private
Aim for the clouds, I feel like a pilot now

Sometimes things don't go how you want 'em to go
And you don't feel how you wanted to feel
But you still move along
The world is gon' keep moving on
And I know

I know just how it goes
The truth ain't always told
I'm keepin' on the low
It's coming soon, I know

Yeah, they don't see life in my lens
They just see trends; I wanna know when it ends
People been telling me wrong
Telling me I shouldn't make any songs
But they be stuck in a regular life
Complain in the week and waiting for weekends
Everyone looking around for the wife
I just been making sure I'm good in the end
Never gon' depend
I really want it myself, tryna get all of the wealth
I'm not concerned about fun 'cause
It'll come after the work is all done
I'm thinking 'bout my tomorrow, not my today, only what follows
I got the vision, I'm on a mission,
I'm tryna tell all the kids, hope they listen

Sometimes things don't go how you want 'em to go
And you don't feel how you wanted to feel
But you still move along
The world is gon' keep moving on
And I know

I know just how it goes
The truth ain't always told
I'm keepin' on the low
It's coming soon, I know
