Yeah (Cole, you stupid)
For real? No, for real?
Come on, for real? Ayy
Haha, no cap, 2020

Down so long, I forgot that up exist (Up exist)
I ask God, "Why do I even exist?" (Exist)
Mad at God when I should've blamed myself (Blamed myself)
Twenties gone, time to focus on the next (On the next)
Thirty years and I don’t know what to expect (I don't know what to expect)
Took that long for me to see that I was blessed (That I was blessed)
2015, y'all just don’t know how I felt (Don't know how I felt)
What that shit could do to someone's mental health (Mental health)
2019, Xanax almost took me out (Took me out)
Could've never got to see my daughter smile (See my daughter smile)
Used to hold my childish ways, I put 'em down (Put 'em down)
No more self inflicting, let's just stick around
I got songs that I had put out in my name (Put out in my name)
Turn them records on the day I feel ashamed (I feel ashamed)
This goes out to all the ones that's tryna change (Tryna change)
Don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t (That you can't)
Yeah (Yeah), not the same (Not the same), changed man (Changed man), stay on your grind (Stay on your grind)
New commandments (New commandments), givin’ up? Ayy, that's a sin (That's a sin)
Times was hard (Times was hard), I been through it all (I been through it all)
I did not (I did not) understand though (Understand though)
Look at God (Look at God) we got through it all (We got through it all)
Still here (Still here), still standin' (Still standin’)
[Chorus: Sy Ari da Kid, Quentin Miller]
Real life (Yeah)
Made it out the bottom but this (For real) shit don't feel right, yeah
I just been going through, for real
I just been going through, truth be told
Swear this boy turned to the man, end of the road
Platinum plaques, it got a million records sold
Be in my check in nine months, gotta wait, that's how it go
Found out everything glitter ain't
[Verse 2: Sy Ari da Kid]
Pick up gains, I'm in LA Fitness, know my team next, yo
Still standin' like it ain't no seats left, yo, I'm a clean mess
With this pimpin' I could sell a bit like I don't need sex
And I mean that, yeah, King Kong when he beat his chest
You know in the school of hard knocks, ain't no teacher's pet
In that ocean, I'm a shark though, I don't need no breath
I just made it to the next level, I ain't see no steps, yeah
That boy ain't pay his dues (Dues), you know he in debt, yeah
I be wide awake at night like I don't need my rest
And the weed man, rollin' up with cookies, Keebler elf
I'm so used to doing shit alone, don't need no help, no
Only competition I see is me and myself
Just spent a G on my belt, why would I be on a shelf?
Can't see no one else (No one else), nah, shoot the 3 like I'm Tony Delk (Tony Delk)
Sometimes I think being lonely helps, yo
[Chorus: Sy Ari da Kid]
Real life
Made it out the bottom but this shit don't feel right, yeah
I just been going through, for real
I just been going through, truth be told
Swear this boy turned to the man, end of the road
Platinum plaques, it got a million records sold
Be in my check in nine months, gotta wait, that's how it go
Found out everything glitter ain't
[Intro]
(Glitter ain't)
(Glitter ain't)
(Glitter ain't)
(Glitter ain't)
