June 18th / High Hopes
I don't do this shit for no one else
Fuck a therapist I'd rather be alone in a room just talking with myself
Like if they really need me they can reach me on my cell
I'm having lunch with my cousin and he fresh out of jail
I said I ain't seen his face since eighth grade
It was six long years that they had him locked away
Now he in a much better place
I think solitary confinement was fucking with his brain
I hate they had to do him that way
But he looked me in my eyes and told me prison set me straight
I can tell that he for real so I believe what he say
Came a long way from getting hooked on H
In the pin trying to do a lil time for his case
But the prison guards bringing in weight
For a lil bit a cash
Talking real life facts
Move a pack for a stack
This ain't up for debate
Remember we was young
Wasn't worried bout much
We ain't have no real concerns
All we ever did was play
Grew a lil older gotta taste of the world
Went and got himself in trouble
Did some time for the state
Maximum security
Madness it was sure to be
I worried when he free that he would never be the same
But only time tells
We on our way to hell
Guess he had to choose whether not to fail or to change
Got a second chance trying to recover his life now he only wanna try and do right by his name
I got some lunch with him, told him
Play your cards right big cousin cuz this life is like motherfucking game
Yeah, this life is like a motherfucking game
Life is like a motherfucking game
This life is like a motherfucking game
Life is like a motherfucking
This life is like a motherfucking game
Life is like a motherfucking game
Life is like a motherfucking game
Life is like a motherfucking game
I never seen so many insecurities on Instagram at once
I said I never seen so many heroes in my Twitter feed at once
All this toxic energy really leave me with no choice
They retweeting everything like they ain't got no voice
See I ain't got no time to waste
Imma give it to you straight
I'm getting fucking sick and tired of all these politics mane
All these self-proclaimed experts
All the shit they saying make my head hurt
All I'm trying to do is boost my net worth
Dropped a album ain't a single motherfucker out here bought a sweatshirt
But I cut the fake friends out my network
Sharks in the water well I'm diving in this motherfucker head first
This shit right here just might be my best verse
But then again it's kinda hard to say cuz every single song I make
Got me feeling like yeah this my best work
I'm so high my soul left my body like I left earth
I left my demo tape with the major label desk clerk
They ain't call me back so tell me what's that make my check worth
Pick the bible up and read a excerpt bout trials & tribulations
Like God please give me strength
Lord please give me patience
And send me some fans too
Shit I'll take some haters until they know I'm the man too
This that shit you know that I can do
I said I seen a lot of motherfuckers just let they life go
Way too many of 'em got no life goals
It's been a long road, I'm not where I wanna be still
But you best believe I got some high hopes (High hopes)
I said I seen a lot of motherfuckers just let they life go
Way too many of 'em got no life goals
It's been a long road, I'm not where I wanna be still
But you best believe I got some high hopes
High Hopes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Best believe I got some high hopes
