Can't Complain

Never you mind it I’m sure I’m gonna find it Been lost inside my mind I’m looking for a little peace inside it Peace and quiet has been few and far between It seems that in between my dreams it’s all just been a nightmare I had a couple nights where I overthought everything And undervalued who I am I drank too much and threw up on my brand new t-shirt Fuck Well I I promised you a lot and I’m not gonna ever stop I think I know it all but I’m realizing nobody does Everywhere I go is people I would like to know But it seems like we don’t speak the same language well I assume so I’m way too shy to ask them for the time So I will never know if they were also just too shy But I just keep it pushing I hope that they do too I hope that they don’t overthink everything tonight Fuck Son of a bitch This could all end so quick It’s just as simple as not finishing a blink And it all fades to black And they say you don’t come back

Life is good All I know is life is good It finally feels like the sun is in the sky But still I’m half expecting that something just isn’t right I don’t know where this road is gonna go At the light I flip a coin and then I go As long as I’m not drowning it’s okay if I just float I keep my head above water I don’t let it below Yeah and I just want you to know That if you’re not in heaven then I’m not gonna go For the first time in a while it feels like it’s summertime Thanks for everything you taught me in life cause I’m loving mine I don’t know who I’m going to be But if I could be like you that would be alright with me I know some times it feels like i’m drifting I just tend to go with the wind I don’t know what I’m going to do But I do know one thing life is good Life is good All I know is life is good Life is good All I know is life is good Sometimes I wonder and question what’s going on I feel the pressure and question what’s taking long For every moment of doubt I’m sure to brush it off Cause life’s too good to stress me out even more So thankful so grateful My family and friends make every meal more tasteful And they check me when I’m wasteful For those who came before me man I’m heavenly honored To be apart of something bigger let me tell you about it More positive energy to attract what you want to But ain’t nobody perfect Just as long as you practice until it’s flawless And look good regardless there won’t be no problems Imma keep my happiness And be the happiest I can Yeah, uh And since God don’t make mistakes I can erase in my head Yeah Imma erase in my head Life is good All I know is life is good Life is good All I know is life is good Life is good All I know is life is good Life is good All I know is life is good

Same story same ending and I’m rather bored Maybe this time we can pick a different category When I’m with you there ain’t a thing that matters more So I‘ll be your Adam Sandler and you can be Drew Barrymore Butterflies in my stomach when I get to BU West Four stops from Packard’s Corner baby see you then I was Kinda drunk and I burnt my tongue at T Anthony’s Walking home and I grabbed your hand and said dance with me We danced to the sound of the horns on the Green Line Still stuck in my head the way it screamed by Illuminated by a yellowish street light If my life was a movie this would be my favorite scene like They say love’s complicated But this is just so pure What do ya say we just keep things simple Cause I know one thing’s for sure I fucking love you I fucking love you so much You fucking love me so Nothing’s gonna come between us Flashback time lapse of our whole life We were in the same town the whole time Never knew that together we would be so right A couple years past the future is looking so bright I guess perfect things really do take time Telling our story through film photos and Facetimes I fell in love in a different state on a late night After all these years we wasn’t just gonna waste time We drove all around all we found was a sunrise Miles Davis playing and it's giving me butterflies Golden hour felt like I struck gold Thinking maybe you would be mine to have and to hold whoa They say love’s complicated But this is just so pure What do ya say we just keep things simple Cause I know one thing’s for sure I fucking love you I fucking love you so much You fucking love me so Nothing’s gonna come between us

Dream 02:23
93 going north then I get on 95 I was born in ‘97 party like it’s ‘99 Mannie Fresh Lil Wayne feeling like a Hot Boy My AC don’t work so I’m actually hot boy Roll down the sun roof and hop on the Mass Pike Can’t remember what the hell happened last night EZ Pass on my dash I don’t carry cash Breezing past never last foot is on the gas Yes I work for everything that I got so I’m gonna flex I’m living right now cause one day I’m gonna be dead Got people pissed off I’m just living inside their head They hated back then but they’re gonna pay me respect I been feeling like I gotta get away I been feeling like the work I’m doing gotta get me paid I been dealing with a lotta shit that’s getting in my way But I gotta keep it pushing I get better everyday yeah Just remember that this life is a dream And though it’s dark it isn’t as bad as it seems If I can only promise you one thing It’s that I’ll keep doing me and keep chasing my dreams Just remember that this life is a dream And though it’s dark it isn’t as bad as it seems If I can only promise you one thing It’s that I’ll keep doing me and keep chasing my dreams Bumping Clairo and Baby Keem I’m in autopilot I’m on 93 South headed home and now I’m flying Smoking pre-rolled joints and eating pre-cut fruit I make a smoothie every day my uncle asked me if I’m on a diet I’m just living mine I think some of you oughta try it I was tryina to survive when I woke up and felt like dying Every night I felt like crying but I never let it manifest I manage to be me even when I think that I failed the test Coming off the top and I got em on their heels And all these labels are gonna be calling but I ain’t signing no deals It’s Morse Code Records I am proud to be here Said it’s Morse Code Records I am proud to be here It’s Morse Code Records where dreams come true Who the hell am I well I’ll leave it up to you Cause I’m doing my thing and you should probably do you I feel like I’m the only person that’s nice in the new school Just remember that this life is a dream And though it’s dark it isn’t as bad as it seems If I can only promise you one thing It’s that I’ll keep doing me and keep chasing my dreams Just remember that this life is a dream And though it’s dark it isn’t as bad as it seems If I can only promise you one thing It’s that I’ll keep doing me and keep chasing my dreams

Overwhelming 03:15
Overwhelmed by all of this anxiety inside of me I don’t know how or when but it sat it’s ass in the driver's seat It’s driving me insane Been lower than low all week and high all day I don’t want to leave my sheets I’m not okay Not even tired but I sleep all day A couple people checking in But mostly everybody’s out Loving life and doing their own thing And that’s fine I’m Getting high as hell all day Just tryna deal with all the lows that keep on coming my way But I hate to complain so I say I’m okay I write my silly little songs and move on with my day In my head I’m at the foot of the mountain Been climbing for so many weeks I had to stop counting My two eyes seen too many peak at the bottom I keep my feet moving ’til I’m at the top Under the weather sick to my stomach cause I’m Under achieving in my head every evening Understanding life is gonna keep piling up So under everything I still try to believe but Sometimes This life gets a little bit overwhelming Where I’m headed there ain’t no telling And I can’t even tell you where the fuck my head is But I know That if I put in the work the universe will help me I don’t know why I’m still stressing Maybe this life isn’t so overwhelming Overall I know that this life is full of surprises and I fully intend to live life until I can find them It’s all about the journey not the destination and I’m fully aware that that line is not new information I could sit around and think but there’s no better way to say it I been through a little bit but what’s the use in complaining I’m maintaining the ship still and I’m staying afloat Making these hits so I can pay for a boat Yeah, but sometimes I overthink a bit Over and over I tend to overlook the little shit But overall I’m under estimating just how big this is I wasted too much life I’m tryna spend some more on living it Under the weather sick to my stomach cause I’m Under achieving in my head every evening Understanding life is gonna keep piling up So under everything I still try to believe but Sometimes This life gets a little bit overwhelming Where I’m headed there ain’t no telling And I can’t even tell you where the fuck my head is But I know That if I put in the work the universe will help me I don’t know why I’m still stressing Maybe this life isn’t so overwhelming

I held your hand in the last hour of your life Growing up I never thought that I would see the night I felt a little squeeze that kind of put me at ease But I still couldn’t fathom what it’s all gonna mean Since you been gone life ain’t been the same Matter fact the whole world changed As I reflect on the lessons you explained I’ve had a good life so I can’t complain No complaints from me but still No complacency A little success isn’t phasing me And I don’t see anyone chasing me I’m killing these shows and I’m writing these raps And I’m singing the hooks and I made the beat I’m feeling like I could do anything Fuck if a couple of people are hating me Made a little change now my bills all paid I got a couple fans that’ll scream my name When I’m reflecting on all of my best days I’ve had a good life so I can’t complain I can’t ever complain Been stuck in rainy days But you taught me every day To smile through the pain and I Had a dream I was the fucking man Woke up and I had to make a plan Nowadays I got a couple fans So much money gotta rake it in Revinvest it cause I love this shit Dedicated I ain’t faking it Word to Gary Vee I’m crushing it In the studio I’m making hits I been making heat seven days a week I don’t work for free, bet I get a fee Cause I got the key, y’all don’t really see Got me saltier than the seven seas Oh my god I’m really working They don’t really think it’s worth it Yeah I know that I ain’t perfect but Every single day I’m learning and [Chorus] I’m not giving this up not for nothing Everything I’m dreaming about I will accomplish I’m not giving this up not for nothing Everything I’m dreaming about I will accomplish [Verse] Had a dream I was a piece of shit Irresponsible as I could get Family really wasn’t feeling it Woke up thinking maybe I should quit Spending money I ain’t saving it People tell me that I’m fucking up Watch when I start getting paid for it Bet they gon’ say that they fuck with us I been watching who’s really coming through It’s usually just me alone up in the stu Maybe with the crew, basically a few Doing what we do, yeah it’s nothing new Oh my god we really working I think they see it’s really worth it Yeah I know that I ain’t perfect but Every single day I’m learning and I’m not giving this up not for nothing Everything I’m dreaming about I will accomplish I’m not giving this up not for nothing Everything I’m dreaming about I will accomplish

Wood Stove 02:10
The wood stove was burning in the kitchen While Willy was sleeping by the door I tied my boots and grabbed my lunch box Like I do at three quarters past four To my right I can see the sun rise Straight ahead the city is still dark I called in sick because I threw up My mind’s tearing my body apart As I work my frigid youth away In the winters of my 20s I understand the old cliche life ain't about the money so I spend my time on making memories that is our currency But currently I’m worried I’ll fuck around get stuck in this Little town I was born into And never do the things I’m was born to do I gotta get up get out and get something Always been an Outkast like André 3000

Once a Day 02:38
Once a day, I rise Once a day, I fall asleep with you Once a day, I try but I can't find a single word I wonder what they know I wonder if they ever even cared at all I wonder, do they see their own reflection in the rain And look away? Everybody keep rushin' Why aren't we taking our time? Every now and again, baby, I get high Don't ask me what I think It never really mattered what I had to say I just keep waiting for another open door To come up soon Don't keep it all in your head The only place that you know nobody ever can see You're runnin' low on regret No tears, that's keeping you wet I think you gettin' it now But everybody keep rushin' Why aren't we taking our time? Every now and again, baby, I get high And everybody means something When they're stuck on your mind But every now and again, why can't we just be fine? Once a day, I rise Once a day, I fall asleep with you Once a day, I try but I can't find a single word

Tidal wave Overwhelmed uninspired but I’m not gonna die today I could use a break but I’m Wide awake All these thoughts on my mind running wild every night and day Driving me insane I Can’t fall asleep but it feels a fever dream Anxiety making it way too hard to breathe While the sky is looking just like a peach I’m in the dark treading water and it’s getting deeper Going down I don’t wanna drown I I don’t know Where to go so I been Going out of my mind lately I just say I’m fine but I’m Going out of my mind lately Going out of my mind Going out of my mind Do you know how it feels to be out of your mind when the sun rise? I don’t know I don’t know how to heal but I wanna feel better though I just hope I’m close Domino If I fall then I know that its all gonna wanna go So I won’t let go I do not know why I feel so alone If I’m surrounded by hope why do I feel like I lost control Out my window is a masterpiece I’ll stay afloat but every night feels like I’m in the ocean Going down I don’t wanna drown I I don’t know Where to go so I been Going out of my mind lately I just say I’m fine but I’m Going out of my mind lately Going out of my mind Going out of my mind Do you know how it feels to be out of your mind when the sun rise?
