Lyrics

[Intro] What up, what up? Just laying around thinking about, just laying around thinking about What up, what up? Just laying around thinking about SoSpecial (Special) Uh [Verse] Bills pile, so I gotta get it Kneel down, ask for God's assistance Huh, grew up in some wild conditions Whole block ain't have a pot to piss in Uh, so we get it how we could Food stamps just to get it, had to rip it out the book In comparison, I guess how I'm livin' now is good It's different now, switched the doubt of gettin' out the hood, uh Uh, all the weight up on my shoulders heavy 'Cause losin' focus, even if it's for a moment, is deadly Yeah, keep goin': if it's slow, then steady Complete the race, leap of faith with the hope He catch me (Yeah) Uh, least that's what I'm hopin' for I heard when God close a door, that He'll open more Yeah, if it's true, I don't know for sure Tossed overboard, broke, tryna float to shore (SoSpecial) Huh, that's the reality I'm in To be honest, it's a challenge just to swim And lately, I've been tryna be a little bit more honest with my friends So they offer me solutions, but a lot of them begins Probably with sin, non-belief It's a whole lot of things way deep inside of me to vent Trauma seeps inside of my mind so deep That every time that I'm asleep, the only thing that I can see is them (Aah!) Uh, won't stop 'til my vision straight I'll quit the day I get a steak at a Chick-Fil-A Fall, but always bounce back, like a ricochet 'Cause people countin' on me like a hand in math class So I can't tap, nah, this isn't MMA My kids hungry, so to them, I'm like Ricky Flay With this writtens, when I'm finished, what they finna say? I wasn't on the bench, but the kid didn't play (Special) Uh, you ain't gotta respect me I'll dog walk most of you— if you doubt it, then test me Your whole career look like it's been on top of a jet-ski: What I'm sayin' is none of you wave-riders impress me, hah Lemme chill, 'cause the virtue Is always humility, real, not commercial Hard to do when the peers in your field out your circle Don't see a skill, rejection that you feel now could hurt you (SoSpecial) Uh, then you feel inclined to prove 'em wrong But at that very moment is where you went wrong Everything with music, man, I do for God I shouldn't change if the stage and your approval's gone (Approval's gone) Uh (Uh), yeah (Yeah) Yeah (Yeah) Everything with music, man, I do for God I shouldn't change if the stage and your approval's gone [Outro] Bumpy! (Bumpy, Bumpy)
