Brighter Days

[Chorus]
I've seen brighter days
They tryna ride the wave, but this turned into a tidal wave
I ain't hidin' from nobody at the hideaways
All my lowest days brought me higher ways

[Verse 1]
Alchemist, white on white my diamonds, that's a powdered wrist
Solar panels on the airplane, I'm on a power trip
Money counter on the counter, this ain't counterfeit
Re-up, stuff it in the duffle 'cause it's bound to fit
King of my town, I made a way, now them haters loud
Ride a double R through Tuskawilla, don't make a sound
Still remember when I first saw eighty pounds
Dog, I thought that was a lot then
Now I'm out in Cali, the calibrations are locked in
So much car keys, they thought I worked for a locksmith
You could be uncommon, just with common sense
The jewelry ain't the entrée, it's just the condiments
Compliments ring, the hate, it gon' do the same thing
That's why I don't pay no attention to people sayin' things
I get validation in my day to day
They gon' remember your character when you fade away
Not the Jordan kicks, the money stacks, the foreign whips
You could have it all and still be an annoyin' bitch
Yeah, most of y'all annoyin' as shit
I got the toys, but ain't one to be toyin' with

[Chorus]
I've seen brighter days
They tryna ride the wave, but this turned into a tidal wave
I ain't hidin' from nobody at the hideaways
All my lowest days brought me higher ways

[Verse 2]
Shootin' at me, you sure to miss
Trumpin' all the competition like I'm the forty-fifth
The presidential suite where I stay, top floor of the Ritz
Still remember when I was down bad and quarter-less
Tryna ask my mom for gas money, the Honda stalled
Now I'm steady married to money, it wasn't common-law
Now it's caviar and bigger steaks than tomahawk
Fast life livin', they thought that I practiced Ramadan
No Goodfellas, but I'm a don
Y'all just play the part like you showed up at Comic Con
Say they'll put you on, but they just talk about it and then go on and on
The plug sent me too many, but still I got 'em gone
Been a overachiever, I'm Saiyan, golden Vegeta
I'm sober, no more of the liter, I got control of my demons
Hold on, I'm holdin' the nina, shoot at my older demeanor
He was too nice with it, I'm gettin' colder and meaner

[Chorus]
I've seen brighter days
They tryna ride the wave, but this turned into a tidal wave
I ain't hidin' from nobody at the hideaways
All my lowest days brought me higher ways
