Arrows (feat. Uncotimo & Frances Cervantes)

(Ben Muiruri) (KingHazel)

I schemed a lot, where do I even begin?
I'm praying to God, please forgive all of my sin
I've been living in hell, can't you tell?
It doesn't rain in hell, oh well
Yeah, it's 2007; we made it to heaven
They promised this life and not to bother
The truth didn't matter as long as it sounded right
We're not the same, nothing like the others
Yeah, we grew up so fast like hair extensions
Going crazy for them Twitter mentions
Now we stuck in a box like a brand-new shoe
They told a lie, like it was a brand-new truth
In the the gym tryna' appeal to the mass
Since the start, I've been ahead of my class
Expanding the mind, just to stay on course
I read the Bible, just to stay on course
I read the Bible, it's a stay-on source
I told 'em Die Empty, they thought I was suicidal
The moves I'm making are all internal recitals
Far from tradition, I'm tryna' get paid
Depression came fast, working minimum wage
Pops put me on game, started to duplicate
Wasn't enough, I had to self educate
All it takes is a problem a day, keeps my demons away

All the troubles I faced (faced) (yeah, yeah)
Every single mistake (mistakes)
They were making a way
(Made a way, we're here now yeah)
(Making a way)
Needed guidance and grace (grace)
Now everything is in place
Your arrows showed me the way

Last year was a tough year
I won't lie, last year was a rough year
Lost a girl and my pride
Man, I really had to hide
All the pain that I went through, I kept it all inside
Some of y'all look surprised, huh
Like "Ben you are not the type to try to hide bruh"
Always on Instagram, showing everyone your plans
But even if I broke it down, you wouldn't understand
But understand this
The blackest days finna get lit
So even with my feet tied, I ain't never gonna trip
Life is like an arrow, so when it got you pissed
Just keep the faith and meditate, you gon find yo' bliss
To the people taking risks; don't know what they purpose is
You gotta go and win; break through all the surfaces
And do it all again
Yeah The pain is real, guys
But all the Ls I took just made me realize that
Last year was a rough year (yeah, it was rough man)
But this year's gonna be great (it's gon' be great)
And next years gonna be better (way way better man)
Everything's gonna come in place (everything man)
They can't even comprehend, how we made it to the end
Honestly, I can say it was all grace
All the arrows showed the way, even in the darkest days
I was set back just to get back better, yeah I'm getting paid

All the troubles I faced (faced)
Every single mistake (mistake)
They were making a way (making a way)
Needed guidance and grace (grace)
Now everything is in place
Your arrows showed me the way

Arrows (arrows) you showed the way with arrows (arrows)
Arrows (arrows) you showed the way with arrows (arrows) yeah
You showed the way with arrows
You showed the way with arrows

Your frustration is trying to tell you something
It's trying to tell you that there's something in your life that doesn't fit right
There's something in your life that needs to be adjusted, it doesn't fit right anywhere
Frustration brings focus, frustration increases faith
When you see no way out, frustration will make you have faith
