barely alive - dituaes lyrics
verse 1
it’s been a minute since i picked up the mic
lost my passion for rapping
and lost my hunger to fight
only time that i could breathe was at 11:59
started thinking like my pops
who felt this just a waste of time
i used to write rhymes every night
couldn’t wait to share
i thought the world needed my voice
but signs were clearly there
and as i got older, i started to see the truth
being famous ain’t everything
ain’t no fountain of youth
sometimes i think to myself
what if i really chased the fame?
would i be happier, would my lifestyle really change
or would i be just another name, another face in the game
another shack wes, big sean or danileigh
lost in the whole cycle of rappers who could’ve been
but dropped the baton, watched on as their peers outrun them for the win
being 2nd best don’t make you different to the rest
that is why i have to learn from their mistakes to renovate my nest*
hook
this ain’t a goodbye nor a see you later
holding on to my life, i’m fighting all intruders
used to have the drive
used to have the hunger
but now i’m feeling lost like i’m barely alive
the art of letting go isn’t in the system
i feel right at home
but there’s a contradiction
should i work to be a star?
or son her father ever wanted?
these the type of thoughts i fail to get evicted
verse 2
i swapped a portrait view for a landscape
i found a new love, a new path, a new range
i’m coding software, studying hard and i’m getting paid
i’m building a future, a stable life but still entertain
the idea of being at the top of the food chain
having money, the cars and fans screaming my name
but i don’t want to be defined by everything i achieve
man i just want to be remembered for what i believe
and that’s cause’ i don’t want my family to struggle
or live check to check
i want be a provider, make sure we’re never in debt
it doesn’t help me to be rapping just for seasonal respect
cause your eyes can never see what your mind fails to forget
look i know it’s hard to walk away from what that you love
but then life gets tough
so you prioritize yourself
i know i’ve got a story
quite a different tale to tell
like how i found some peace and quiet outside of the music cell
hook
this ain’t a goodbye nor a see you later
holding on to my life, i’m fighting all intruders
used to have the drive
used to have the hunger
but now i’m feeling lost like i’m barely alive
the art of letting go isn’t in the system
i feel right at home
but there’s a contradiction
should i work to be a star?
or son her father ever wanted?
these the type of thoughts i fail to get evicted
