Shoots & Ladders

Shoots and ladders goin' up now
Shoots and ladders goin' down now
Shoots and ladders goin' up now
Shoots and ladders goin' down now
Tryna shoot up that ladder
Every step makin' me sadder
Tryna shoot me down that ladder
Every step makin' me madder
Startin' to see a pattern
They some fuckin' back stabbers
Can't even look in the mirror
Without havin' some tears

Shot up the ladder now they want me back (Want me back)
They were right this ain't what I wanted (Ain't what I wanted)
Came too easy and I've had enough
Everything I have can't help the fact
That I got problems (Yeah)
Problems I can't resolve
They seen me climb up
Showed them how it's done (How it's done)
Now they want me back where I was
That's fine with me
Because I gave who I was
To become somethin' that I'm really not (Yeah)
Employed but I'm unemployable
Head in the clouds but I ain't gullible (I ain't gullible)
It takes time, yeah and I'm spendin' mine (Spend that shit)
Need somethin' to ease my mind
Somethin' worth this climb

Shoots and ladders goin' up now
Shoots and ladders goin' down now
Shoots and ladders goin' up now
Shoots and ladders goin' down now
Tryna shoot up that ladder
Every step makin' me sadder
Tryna shoot me down that ladder
Every step makin' me madder
Startin' to see a pattern
They some fuckin' back stabbers
Can't even look in the mirror
Without havin' some tears

I got imposter syndrome (I do)
My life is a conundrum (It is)
Negative self talk
Yeah, I gotta cut that shit off (That's facts)
Never happy 'cause I never made it doin' me
I can't follow all those rules to the tee
Gotta vision that you cannot see (Can't see)
'Cause I do what I please
I can't hang with the fleas
Prayed on my knees
Blessed like I sneezed (Achoo)
Not a rat in this race
Between a rock and a hard place
Exploit ya bias, now you think I got the Midas (I don't)
Just because I'm the flyest
Doesn't mean I'm timeless
Take a moment of some silence
And get off my fuckin' privates, yeah (I'm out)

Shoots and ladders goin' up now
Shoots and ladders goin' down now
Shoots and ladders goin' up now
Shoots and ladders goin' down now
Tryna shoot up that ladder
Every step makin' me sadder
Tryna shoot me down that ladder
Every step makin' me madder
Startin' to see a pattern
They some fuckin' back stabbers
Can't even look in the mirror
Without havin' some tears
