Lay it Down to Build ‘em Up

Lyrics

[Verse] I got the world at my feet and I was born to run They said the last release was a masterpiece, but I was warmin' up Was feelin' isolated and life caught me up I had to go off path just to find myself, but now I'm back on track and it's all or none All or none like when I went to war with my daughter's mum All or none like when I'm snortin' drugs until the mornin' comes All or none like when I meet a girl and I fall in love And I swear to God that I'll keep my cards close, but every time, I let 'em call my bluff Last year was a tough one, like I ain't seen before Disagreements over ficklе reasons had my baby mama takin' me to court Yeah, I found a profit, but I'm outta pockеt, spendin' house deposit on them fees with lawyers But it's all good 'cause there ain't a price that I wouldn't pay so I could see my daughter I still see the silver linin', I still see the best in people I see there's learnt behaviour and broken humans, not excess in evil There's still some mistakes I make, there's still some regrets I'm keepin' There's still a part of me that wished we worked it out when my ex was leavin' But we had our reasons, we were growin' tired that we'd grown apart Caught up tryna break the cycle, but we ended up with a broken heart Yeah, the road is hard, but all the hurt is fuel in a tank for me to hone my craft 'Cause for every time that I lost my way, it only led me closer to my chosen path I was nearin' the edge again, so I can't stop now, givin' legs again I know hearts can change in the November rain and I still miss your son each and every day And it hurts, but I can forget the pain or let it build me up and accept my fate 'Cause when I put the work in, all a the weight on my shoulders eventually led to gains You see the growth I did? Shown some string in my broken wings Watch me set sail into the open winds, had me reachin' heights I couldn't hope to hit Know I wouldn't let another moment slip, in the blink of an eye, could be over with So I'm focusin' on the zone I'm in, let the tones within paint the notes I sing So while they're arguin' about who raps the dopest, goin' bar-for-bar but couldn't match emotion Know my name holds weight and my tracks are quoted, don't blink 'cause I might just snatch the moment I carried my packs 'til my back was broken, I reached the glass ceilin' and smashed it open I went front to back with the anthems loaded, it had set the standard with my magnum opus Keep the dream alive, redefine what it means to fly Saw the phoenix glide and I was breathin' fire, singin' "Icarus" as I reached the sky When my sight was blinded in the deep a night, shinin' from the shadows, but I seen the light Now the people by me find peace a mind through the legacy that I leave behind Respect the name, risin' from the ashes as I fed the blaze Channeled energy into the centre stage and let my head escape in what my pen creates Hold a piece a me when I let it play and know they ain't alone for every step they take I'm still far from flawless, but I'm tryna be a better man than I was yesterday [Chorus] Pour it out and spill my guts Bear my soul and fill my cup Pen some thoughts to heal my cuts Lay it down to build 'em up Pour it out and spill my guts Bear my soul and fill my cup Pen some thoughts to heal my cuts Lay it down to build 'em up Pour it out and spill my guts Bear my soul and fill my cup Pen some thoughts to heal my cuts Lay it down to build 'em up Pour it out and spill my guts Bear my soul and fill my cup Pen some thoughts to heal my cuts Lay it down to build 'em up Pour it out and spill my guts Bear my soul and fill my cup Pen some thoughts to heal my cuts Lay it down to build 'em up Pour it out and spill my guts Bear my soul and fill my cup Pen some thoughts to heal my cuts Lay it down to build 'em up [Outro] Pour it out and spill my guts Bear my soul and fill my cup Pen some thoughts to heal my cuts Lay it down to build 'em up
