TLR - '23

bittersweet

My head gets so damn foggy it's clouded up by ambition
I just want to have it all and I'm starting to see fruition
Lessons learned, blood sweat and tears were my tuition
Had to cut too many off that were in the way of my vision
Nobody really wins a war, I should've read the history
I guess I wanted more, it brought me happiness and misery
I got my recognition, though, I wonder what it did to me
I guess I got all that I wanted; but it's bittersweet

I just hope that 3 years from now you gon' still remember me
Someday this moment's just gon' be another memory
I know I get attached and now it's messing with me mentally
Moving on, feels like we're leaving behind our chemistry
Made a few mistakes I was running low on my empathy
Wrote it in some songs and neglected to share those melodies
I don't know any of the people that I pretend to be
So if I did it all for nothing it was meant to be

It was meant to be, I hope that it was meant to be
Music gave me life I hope that it's the death of me
It just feels unnatural to know they envy me
Like a bench player that's declared the MVP
I know we are not the same, I know we are not the same
I was born with all this pain, baby we are not the same
Every pro has a con, every loss has a gain
Every time I reach new heights, nothing ever really changed
Ice in my veins, heavy, cold, weigh me down
I found my way, but I hate what I found
She's in my way, I don't mind laying down
Gone in a day, baby I won't stick around
Like a test I always know the letters that I gotta fill
I'm not 50 cent I'm more like 50 dollar bill, yeah
I kill them with my intellect, my style, and my music skill
Crazy that I got it all and crazier that it's all real

My head gets so damn foggy it's clouded up by ambition
I just want to have it all and I'm starting to see fruition
Lessons learned, blood sweat and tears were my tuition
Had to cut too many off that were in the way of my vision
Nobody really wins a war, I should've read the history
I guess I wanted more, it brought me happiness and misery
I got my recognition, though, I wonder what it did to me
I guess I got all that I wanted; but it's bittersweet

I just hope that 3 years from now you gon' still remember me
Someday this moment's just gon' be another memory
I know I get attached and now it's messing with me mentally
Moving on, feels like we're leaving behind our chemistry
Made a few mistakes I was running low on my empathy
Wrote it in some songs and neglected to share those melodies
I don't know any of the people that I pretend to be
So if I did it all for nothing it was meant to be
