Selfish + One Day
Uh, I know I aint been calling as much
That don't change the fact that I love y'all a bunch
The way I deal with it, hide the pressure and pain
You know I'm ashamed
Lexi called, said y'all would bring up my name
And add how I be going astray
And I don't answer calls
He gotta new number again
That shit embarrassing, after like 2 years
Rhonda called said all your dad's stuff here
And I ain't ever show up
Shit had me really tore up
Bad enough to never pick the phone up
Truth is y'all was his main fam, half sis with the same dad
Shit, y'all lived in the same pad
Vacay on the cruise, when I ain't even think to get asked
I guess I felt jealous of that
The time that's spent in the past
We can never get it back, we can never go back
How could I be so selfish, not thinking of ya pain
Doing this again
Doing this again
How could I be so selfish, not thinking of ya pain
Doing this again
Doing this again
Granny I love you dear you know that
But I been busy tryna make it all work
I know when dad died yea we was all hurt
Felt like if I was grinding he coulda laid back to see it all work
That thought enough to make me cry out night
Wake up and write some shit that make him proud up in the sky
While I was fucked up couldn't put my pride to the side
You was struggling, I ain't even know you kept it all quiet
How could I be so selfish, not thinking of ya pain
Doing this again
Doing this again
How could I be so selfish, not thinking of ya pain
Doing this again
Doing this again
I hope you become rich in laughter
I hope become rich in health
I hope you become rich in family
Too often we don't we don't appreciate the free things in life, like time
We waste it
We are worse with it than we are with our money, even though we can't get it back
We can always go hustle another dollar, but we can never get back the time that we waste
Money is everything when it's barely made of anything
They made us glorify wealth and status symbols, when they mean nothing
Materials won't make you love life more, nor will it make your problems go away
Every year you grow older
Every year we continue to strive to our goals and dreams
One Day We'll Be Rich & We'll Never Be Broke
All of us, in every way
Forever
Yea
One Day We'll Be Rich & We'll Never Be Broke
Yea, one day
If one day don't come
I been filled with doubt since I was a kid
Step pops said that I would never go big
What kinda shit is that
In 3rd grade I was hit with that
Honestly, I still think about it
What if that nigga right
What if I never get to show my fam a better life
That's some shit I often think at night
Don't let the shit control you
That's what my niggas say
I do this shit for all you, we seen some darker days
Sleeping on Meechie floor
Handcuffed with some of my niggas
I couldn't help but think could this shit be over my nigga
To all my niggas here, slanging cause ain't got a career
Don't succumb man, don't give into none of your fears
To all my niggas round, rapping tryna take over town
You can do it, make some music that can help niggas out
I was 10 when I heard Hov
The Black Album inspired me
My pops left too it was Jay who I had to tried to be
December 4th, you talked bout how ya pops left
But you made it I was thinking maybe I could be next
I plan to inspire all the kids how you did with me then
Gave me goosebumps man I played that shit in the den
To these kids, don't give up on yourself
Some people tell you what can't cause they can't do it they self
That's just facts
Self doubt in everybody don't let shit hold you back
Self don't in everybody don't let that shit hold you back, yea
I was listening to uh, my little cousin.
She was telling her moms, you know how she wanted to be a Disney star
And how she wanted to become an actor and pursue all these things
And her moms told her, you know, how hard those things are and how she might not accomplish them
You know, and I was just thinking you know as a parent sometimes you know
You wanna protect your kid from the world and how cruel it may be
And protect them from their failures
And sometimes you can instill self doubt
You know, something you gotta persevere through
I feel like we all go through self doubt, you know what I'm saying
But I feel like the successful ones, the ones that don't let it stop em
You know you keep your mind on positivity and you continue to go forward
Ya know what I mean
We are what we think
Yea
I told my cousin you know, you can do whatever you want, whatever you dream
It starts in the mind first, ya know
Yea
That don't change the fact that I love y'all a bunch
The way I deal with it, hide the pressure and pain
You know I'm ashamed
