Nothin’ Is Promised

[:Verse 1:]
I'm tryna keep my calm, I'm tryna keep my cool, tryna control my attitude
I'm never turnin' back, that's a promise I made to myself, cause there's somethin' I always knew
I always knew I was still gonna be broken hearted, But my soul is like" What the fuck is wrong with you"
Satisfyin' my needs in different ways, I'm stuck with the hard truth
Fuck the niggas who can never see the shit through
I never had any role modelz, so there were times where I didn't know what to do
I was drawn to the negative shit, so my medicine was way overdue

[Chorus:]
I always knew I miss the rage, I always knew I wants things to work my way
They say tomorrow is a new day, but I'm lookin' for another way
Like my soul departed, so I rather keep the rest of me caged
My surface is never smooth, its not that easy for me to open
Just because I got a gift, Doesn't mean I've been chosen
Nothin' is promised, I'm just goin' with the motions

[Verse 2:]
I know I can take all the shit, no matter what it is
I don't cap my story, I write the truth as it is
They keep askin' how I'm feelin', but I'm too busy floatin' in my abyss
No matter how hard I try, I never cease to reminisce
I'm still gonna ride this wave, Lookin' back like "I thought I knew who you was"
I thought I knew who I loved, I'm just naïve as they come
I don't really give a fuck about myself, so I rather be the quiet one
Sometimes the best response is none at all, niggas can't say that I'm wrong
I don't want any of the spotlight, I haven't even done this long
But my troublin' mindset, is not even close to bein' gone

[Chorus:]
I always knew I miss the rage, I always knew I wants things to work my way
They say tomorrow is a new day, but I'm lookin' for another way
Like my soul departed, so I rather keep the rest of me caged
My surface is never smooth, its not that easy for me to open
Just because I got a gift, Doesn't mean I've been chosen
Nothin' is promised, I'm just goin' with the motions
