This Can't Be Life

Yeah, Real
This Can't Be Life
Life is a gift
That's why I'm living in the present
Just listen

See, I ain't been the happiest
I'll give my heart to embark this pursuit of happiness
Too much is happening
I'm looking back on the past
I start panicking
I really can't be that again
I'm barely managing
I didn't fathom this
The odds were bet against me
Who been gambling?
I paint the perfect picture
I been canvassing
I wont make it in this business
I'm too talented

Breaking down these walls
It's been challenging
When it rain it pours
See, I've been battling
With these loose screws
That need fastening
I boxed away some things like a cabinet
I hate I'm stagnant
I've been stuck in this spot
Tryna figure out a move like paralysis
I don't know what else to do like graduate
I just gotta live my truth
I'm too passionate

This can't be life
If it is, I'm still grateful
Hitting rock bottom
It'll change you
Ain't a thing in this world that I can't do
See my life through my eyes
Peep my angle
This can't be life
Nah, this can't be life
This can't be life
Nah, this can't be life

Created something outta nothing like an alchemists
I'm looking for my next shot like I'm Malcolm X
Who woulda ever guessed, I would surmount to this
I did some stuff in my past, I ain't proud of it
Imma always be my name
The rest counterfeit
I tried to charge it to the game
The checked bounced again
Hate I'm swimming in these worries
I might drown again
I'll show my range like curry
I was bound to win

It's getting hard
And, the pressure heavy
See, I've been tired
Who's gon really spare me
From these thoughts
From these tears
From these fears
From my anger
From myself
From my peers
Many years spent unhappy
I was kinda hopeless
I drove myself crazy
A lot was riding on me
This time I gotta make it
Ive been plotting on it
I'm kicking every door down
They aint tryna open

The one's that wrote me off
Pray they aint write in ink
I watched the closest disappear in the slightest blink
I was homeless last month
I house a lot of things
So if I'm ruthless
Please excuse me
I aint tryna be
Life's confusing
Hear my music
Here's a side of me
I'm improving
Hid the truth
Deep inside of me
I've been through it
And I'm viewing
Who gon ride for me
Imma prove it
It's no time
It's my time, you'll see

This can't be life
If it is, I'm still grateful
Hitting rock bottom
It'll change you
Ain't a thing in this world that I can't do
See my life through my eyes
Peep my angle
This can't be life
Nah, this can't be life
This can't be life
Nah, this can't be life

Real
