These Days

Lyrics

[Chorus] Said a prayer 'cause I need one thing Lookin' up at God, please relieve some pain I ain't changed, man, but things done changed Life keep endin' up with me in the rain Guess I wasn't meant to be unphased Asked for a miracle, don't think one came Shed a tear for all the time I've seen pain These days, gotta try to seem sane These days, gotta try to seem sane [Verse 1] Tryin' to get a grip, tight grip on the knots But sometimes, I can't even get a grip on my thoughts Rather be inside that box Chevy than in a box Rather be inside my girl's box than under locks Toast up for them bad habits that I adopt I turned savage, man, the world savage, how could I not? Memories when I see the house, I don't try to pass it a lot Cried when it was the bottom, hope I laugh at the top Look I, died so many times, on the inside It'd make your skin rise, a couple friends died From fentanyl inside a pill that was pin sized I got some family members doin' that shit ten times Things I go through, that I ain't 'posed to You learn the game the hard way, no one coach you When up close and far away, no one notice you You supposed to lose I just want to know what freedom feel like at the mall When you ain't gotta scrape a dollar, you can purchase it all When your father built you up every time that you fall You ain't have to build yourself back up from them pieces of wall I tried to jog the stadium, fog the cranium And nothin' worked, my heart in titanium I got the radiation without the radium There's so much pain where I'm from [Chorus] Said a prayer 'cause I need one thing Lookin' up at God, please relieve some pain I ain't changed, man, but things done changed Life keep endin' up with me in the rain Guess I wasn't meant to be unphased Asked for a miracle, don't think one came Shed a tear for all the time I've seen pain These days, gotta try to seem sane [Verse 2] Despite the evidence That I would never live to see the presidents I've been goin' up on my relevance And everybody wanna be my nemesis The presidential suite is the residence Woulda thought that there was an inheritance Only thing my pops left me was disappearances That shit was embarrassin' The jet takin' off when there's clearances Make enough for all the moments that I wasn't cherishin' Pain, it's like a devil without a name A bezel without a chain, a rebel without a lane I never settle where I refrain, I elevate and I change I wasn't tryna remain, stains on me Police pulled me over, had that thing on me I told people not to judge me if you ain't know me So many people switched on me, I'm the same, homie You changed on me, I'm the same, homie That money came through and you hatin' on me You changed on me, I'm the same, homie Some things I wouldn't do to the gang, homie I'm amazed, not afraid The devil sendin' shots, I've been ungrazed My girl talkin' to me, said "you seem unfazed" I can't explain it, man, I seen some things [Chorus] Said a prayer 'cause I need one thing Lookin' up at God, please relieve some pain I ain't changed, man, but things done changed Life keep endin' up with me in the rain Guess I wasn't meant to be unphased Asked for a miracle, don't think one came Shed a tear for all the time I've seen pain These days, gotta try to seem sane These days, gotta try to seem sane [Outro] Shed a tear for all the time I've seen pain These days, gotta try to seem sane
