So They Say

[Verse 1]
I don't know if I'm doing this in vain, yeah
But I swear that this shit be in my veins
This shit been startin' to drive me insane
I just want the money, I don't even need the fame
What if this shit I'm making actually lame?
That's why I ain't took off like a bullet train
What if I ain't as good as I think I am? (Yeah)
All this gold on my neck, like who do I think I am?
Complex wiring and circuitry gave me emotions
Connected to my brain from which that came all the notions
I'd be a liar if I said I didn't fill my mind with doubt
I'd be a liar if I didn't get my truth out
Now I done rapped my heart out and blew the roof out
And I done rapped so hard, I swear I spit a tooth out
The hourglass ain't giving me no time back
Talked to my nana with hеr cigarettes and wine glass
And shе said

[Chorus]
"Everything happens for a reason" (Everything, everything)
So they say
But honestly, I don't know what to believe in these days
Yeah, seasons change, people change
Talked to my niggas, and they told me, "Don't trip"
"'Cause you the captain of your own ship"

[Verse 2]
My girl been going through it, sometimes I feel helpless
Racing with my friends like, "Damn, how can I help this?"
I just want to be wealthy, buy shit I couldn't afford
I still live within my means, I drive a Honda Accord
I take eighty-seven gas, I'm not a regular nigga
Support Black business, breaking bread with all of my niggas
I ain't gon' stop 'til I pile several figures
Retire when I'm tired, go figure

[Chorus]
"Everything happens for a reason" (Everything, everything)
So they say
But honestly, I don't know what to believe in these days
(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)

[Bridge]
Starin' in the dark, my thoughts haunting me all at night
I done been so broke, I done put my pockets in rice
I don't keep a stank face, I try to keep it polite
Speeding down the tunnel, I'm headed straight towards the light

[Chorus]
"Everything happens for a reason" (Everything, everything)
So they say
But honestly, I don't know what to believe in these days
(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)
Seasons change, people change
Talked to my niggas and they told me, "Don't trip"
"'Cause you the captain of your own ship"

[Outro]
You are the captain of your own flight today
