Lyrics

[Verse 1] After Phife passed, that's when me and Tay made up Not talking bout regrouping We talking bout recouping for the time lost For about five years, took time off, playing catch up, look Me and my brother back talking, that's a step up But life tried to hand me one, I'm working Manage on the side, but one thing's for certain My wife never had to lift a finger Whether it was Amazon, drive Uber, drive Lyft Or concentrate on my gifts My nigga, I was down, but I did not quit If you looking for a sob story, this not it, I was persevering When you accustom to the crowd cheering Now all you hеaring are your thoughts and that spark that had Only mentioned in thе past, that's when you gonna grasp If you really built to last or here for the hustle Time to break through that pain When the smoke finally clears after all these years Operating out of fear to never dance in the rain felt vain Laying in a hospital bed with a blood clot saying "God, just get me through I got so much left, I know you see that too," no promises The bounce back more a climb up a steep hill This is you versus you, this is all will This is digging down deep, it don't involve skill Put it on a vision board, watch it manifest Adding color to my dream, talking life at its best High wires with a beam, straight ahead, no net [Chorus] No sleep and no sunrise I swallow my pride Bury pain, I keep it inside So what you want from me? [Verse 2] It was Saturday, late afternoon, I was chilling Thinking bout making a couple dollars, Lord willing The prospect of doing Uber trips not appealing But I'm trying to get money in the right way First ride, headed to the other side of town Tay pop up on the phone, but of course he call now Send to voicemail, then he called right back I'm seeing what the deal, passenger in the back First show in eight years, fifteen with all three Got a two-hour trip to rock the AOC LB back at it, I'm shocked like y'all Decide to make an album, you know who not involved Your life on a loop, stop it Ain't nobody over here concerned about the optics It's all about the product, never settle for less After May The Lord Watch, I can pound my chest And the world hear it, being down didn't break my spirit When I started on this journey I was given no promises So I say it, if I ever bounce back I'ma pull back the curtain, time to show you who Thomas is, nigga [Chorus] No sleep and no sunrise I swallow my pride Bury pain, I keep it inside So what you want from me? [Post-Chorus] See me in a new light Let the change roll Still the same, I live a new life So what you want from me? [Outro] What you want from me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah What you want from me? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah What you want from me? Bury pain, I keep it inside So what you want from me? See me in a new light Still the same, I live a new life
