π Lyrics
When you wake up man, in the mornin'
And when you go about your day
And-, and who you are, right? (mm-hmm)
This-, this is how I do my day
I know that the hardest person-
The toughest boss that I've ever had in my life is myself
And my level of consciousness tells me this
I say, well, when I get up in the morning
I will know that I want my day to have certain things
You feel what I'm saying?
So, I-, I lay out that formula, right?
And then at the end of the day, I see how close I was to that
How close I was to being my own boss
Meditate to stop all of the brain fog
Logged out and turned InstΠ°gram off
God whispered, "Take all of them chains off"
'Fuck I spent 300,000 on a Range for?
Validation, what I used to aim for
Tried to hide the shame with the fame, y'all
Got guilt that drove a nigga insane, y'all
Suicide became one of my main thoughts
UberX-ing bitches for a nightcap
Addicted to the pussy, learning how to fight that
Jogging in the dark, had to get my sight back
Can't heal these injuries with an ice pack
Let me head to therapy and I'll be right back
I feel alive, now I'm on the right track
Million dollar deal, really looking type whack
Man, I'm trying to buy the Beatles like I'm Mike Jack
Like I'm Mike Jack
Man, I'm trying to buy the Beatles like I'm Mike Jack
Shh, be quiet!
They gon' fuck around and have to pull a mic jack
(Stay tuned into the frequency, love, love)
Yeah, uh
(You know we be really uptown, really uptown)
I'm 'bout to start making emojis titles (uptown, uptown, uptown)
(niggas get really uptown) They say talk yo' shit (really uptown, really uptown)
(Uptown, uptown, uptown)
But I'm just tryna'- (uptown, uptown), I'm just tryna'
I'm tryna' find a fuck to give about this rap shit and this rigged game
Treat us like slaves, hand us whips and the big chain
It's funny how they call masters "masters"
'Cause if they own yours, they makin' money after you die
Generation gap at my shows, gotta feed the little kids more of the Fergie flows (bitch)
Duckin' all the drugs, I've been fuckin' all the hoes
Tryna' figure out how to fill this hole up in my soul
Tryna' figure out how to stop all I want
Can you be a rapper and live your life like a monk?
I wanna be like Future and drop every month
But if it ain't the vision, God holding my tongue
It's about instant gratification these days
Which leaves us feeling worthless, no matter the age
As I get more aware, it's hard to stay engaged
When you notice all your peers ain't on the same page
Yeah (you know we be really uptown)
Uh-huh (couple uptown niggas with the-)
I got more shit to say (really uptown, uptown, uptown)
Let me scroll down (get really uptown)
Hold up (talk shit, get more-), I'ma tell you why I'm unhappy (get really uptown)
I'm unhappy about music in its current state
I'm unhappy about my appetite and my current weight
I'm unhappy about my friends and how they handle certain things
Growing pains make it stressful to go through certain change
I ever tell you, "Get a job," I ain't tryna' be lame
You gotta try everything before you ask me for change
Money don't grow on trees, especially with the fame
'Cause if the ship ever sink, you will tarnish my name
And act like you was never a part of the blame
I crippled you by getting you apartments and rings
When a little bit of struggle can make the hustle ingrained
It's treacherous waters, taught you how to swim, but it's hard to sustain
Stay afloat
Coming out (uptown, uptown, uptown)
(Uptown, uptown, uptown)
(Stay tuned into the frequency, love, love)
And when you go about your day
And-, and who you are, right? (mm-hmm)
