Trial & Error

Fall down, bruised up
Just me myself and I, we gon' have to group up
I look up to the sky, howl at the moon 'cause
I'm alive and I'm feeling like I gotta prove something

This an everyday struggle, I'm asking me if its really worth it
Self inflicted stress got me really nervous
Sacrificing time with loved ones, for the grind of the come up
Got my mind all fucked up, feel like a different person
Day job bitter working, like huh? I was born for this?
Get a degree, and work a job up on some boring shit?
I'm a creative, I can't slave, ideas pouring in
But I need a job, this cost of living is enormous, shit

I ain't gonna lie, I've cried thinking like "what if it doesn't work?"
"What if the song that took three days to write is just another verse?"
Something deep up in my cerebral been telling me not to quit it
Gut's saying shut the fuck up, don't complain, go out and get it
Go act on intuition, don't fall farther behind
The hard work beats out the talent, 'cause it's harder to find
Now self belief and me work tandem, that's my partner in crime
Was throwing shade up on myself, stopped and starting to shine

Yeah, I gotta risk losing
But I'm grounded, just gotta stick to it
Trial and error proving real, this shit's hard to get
People who doubt it, surround me, but they ain't stopping shit

Fall down, bruised up
Just me myself and I, we gon' have to group up
I look up to the sky, howl at the moon 'cause
I'm alive and I'm feeling like I gotta prove something

Don't follow, can't stand with the rest of them
Comforts a disease, and this action is medicine
Put it out to the public, showing love to his messages
The plays building up, I've got actual evidence
Only boss moves, looking for a desk to put my feet on
I'm out here feeling like I've got a hunnit respawns
I'm out here feeling like I'm 'bout to fuckin' cheat on
Everything we see grownin' up, I proceed knowing

I could lose it all, the list of consequences stupid long
Feel like I'm made for it, I need somebody to prove me wrong
Artist claim they're up next, I just laugh at how their que is off
Due to pop, pops want me to go and get my schooling on
But I can't stop till the plans finished
Gotta master the vision, get a doctorate in writtens
Staying deaf to a critic, I'm me, I can't listen
And if they try to set ceilings, we gon' push it past limits

Yeah, I gotta risk losing
But I'm grounded, just gotta stick to it
Trial and error proving real, this shit's hard to get
People who doubt it, surround me, but they ain't stopping shit

Fall down, bruised up
Just me myself and I, we gon' have to group up
I look up to the sky, howl at the moon 'cause
I'm alive and I'm feeling like I gotta prove something

Fall down, bruised up
Just me myself and I, we gon' have to group up
I look up to the sky, howl at the moon 'cause
I'm alive and I'm feeling like I gotta prove something
