Alyssa Marie - Trigger Finger lyrics

[Verse 1: Lady Essence] I been waiting on success; there's nothing that feels stranger Than to see it all reflect and feelin' like you're the stranger That person in the mirror: I fear her; I feel the anger That person coming nearer, wave clearer: I need ya anchor (It's like I'm) lookin' for a reason to swim or even drown slow Don't push someone who's eager to win right in their downslope ʻCause I will go Ether, go in on all you clown folk And make you repeat it again on every download But listen, I am disciplined: only will start a fire if You missin' where my missile is; look for somethin' to fire with That means you steady missing the point of where my fire went You pourin' water over my joint right when it's firing So how could you get higher when you don't hear the environment? You never hear the voices of reason sayin' you fire, yet That 9-to-5 talkin': it's talkin' and gettin' louder Clock keeps watchin': it's watchin' like every hour Every coward got a reason, retreating, thinking of leaving Leadin' these people? I'm eager but feelin' I need my freedom The picture? Much bigger than competition could ever be Alyssa, pull the trigger: they rather you be my enemy See, I don't understand if I failed or if I struck-fate If money gives us time to prevail, then I'm a buck-late How we s'pposed to follow the trail when there is such-hate? The box being hammered with nails, and I can't e-scape {pause} But I'm bettin' you could re-late [Verse 2: Alyssa Marie] Still tryna figure out the signs; picture getting bigger in my mind Finger twitching on the trigger; tried sitting to the side But it's times like this minute, fine lines in the sky's limit That remind it's the prime time for reviving it Thrive in the middle of when and just surviving And it's time to pick a side when, the river, it's getting wider And the shore is getting further to either; I read the finer print While looking at the size of picture inside a wider lens It's the struggle of wondering what'll come of the trouble Of putting double the effort with every muscle Connecting the puzzle, ruffling feathers to get a couple Of subtle, if any, steps I could stumble or misdirect And I can feel the people waiting to take it as opportunity Truthfully, though, it's sad it don't seem as bad as used to be Ain't stressin' like I usually do: I'm used to scrutiny Tell me they're down for life and they're ready, writing my eulogy Proof reading it, scheming a way they can take the lead When the only way to escape a defeat is to not compete And, instead, begin to a**emble together, but I can see I'll either eat at the bottom or starve for what's out of reach Try to leap when the place that I'm aiming ain't in my vision yet Or stay where I know I'mma be safe and accept the limits set I guess I can settle for less or risk the whole pot And either leave with all or nothing when this show stops
