Alright

You were praying for a challenge and
Now you angry that it's happening
Why you feel like I abandoned you?
I'm the one who made you passionate (passionate)

I'm the one who paved the path in this
Money ain't gon' bring you happiness
I've got plans to give you everything
You don't even know the half of it, my plan

Watch it, let it go

Told a story of passion and vigor, damn it, go figure
I'm writing six-figure bars
When I'm painting this picture
Now I'm about to go and try
Pull the trigger on getting richer
This for trips I was making to Dallas,
All this for bigger purpose

But it never happens (but it never happens, nah)
And it never happens, nah
And it never happens (never happens)
No, it never seem to happen

I was living off of faith, son
Lights up, turn 'em low,
Tryna face something
No one who's really found they peace try to say something
Made you the number one thing they be hating on,
Still they wanna ask how you feel (how you feel?)

How you feel?
How you feel?
How you feel?
How you feel?

Broken down, beaten up,
Wonder why I still let this shit go
Left to die a hundred times,
Thousand lives lived, I'm letting 'em know
Need it more, want it now, level up,
Double down, looking for growth
Tank on "E", still I crawl, still I walk,
Never cared, I ain't here to boast, I'm real

I'm real (how you feel?)

Who said you should run away, yeah
Who said you should be afraid, yeah
Who said that shit's still okay, yeah
Who said you should lie and say "I'm alright"
When you ain't doing alright, yeah

You let 'em treat you a certain way,
They step all over your face, yeah
Never cared about your pain, yeah,
They only in this for their own gain, I know

But sometimes, I feel like I'm the one who's selfish
Hard to balance focus on yourself
When all the people 'round you want your help
And all the people 'round you wanna know

Why you holding on to something hopeless
Why you hide away inside your room
Harlan, why you quiet? You ain't talking
Probably cause when I do, you just zone

Rather look at bullshit on your phone
Wonder why I feel like I'm alone
Only me and God, that's what I know
Focused on recordings in my room

People think I'm scared to go and do it
Only thing I'm scared of is to lose
Everything I've done up to this moment
I can see the value of my youth

(I've been having a lot of, uh, depression lately)
(it's been exhausting,
And I've just felt dead because I just want to be)
(You know, I have had so much pressure on me
To be further ahead in my life, I kept)
(I keep feeling like my life is going nowhere, you know?)

(And it's not true, I have to,
Really got to get rid of that negative thought because)
(As positive a person as I am,
I am human, just like everyone else)
(So, I occasionally become a victim of my own negativity, so)

(I'm kind of hating right now because I'm young,
Because I'm too old to be just a kid)
(Everyone expects me to be all responsible and everything
But it feels like I'm too young to be)
(You know, I'm too young to be further ahead in my life, and so,
It's just a frustrating in-between time for me)

(But whatever, I'll get through it)
(And all will be okay)

(Um, anyway, I've been writing a lot more songs lately)
(Hip-hop songs, actually, which I've been pursuing
As a result of my inspiration from artists like Logic, and)
(Now I'm kind of, kind of on my way to,
I think wanting to just learn
How to produce my own stuff, because)
(I was supposed to go to the studio with Andies)
(But it didn't end up working out)

Broken down, beaten up, wonder why I still let this shit go
Left to die a hundred times,
Thousand lives lived, I'm letting 'em know
Need it more, want it now, level up,
Double down, looking for growth
Tank on "E", still I crawl, still I walk,
