[Intro] This is a long so I just hope that you stay with me They told me keep it real and just get in your feelings And just, say exactly what's on your mind and all that And they gon listen to you and they gon love you for it Yeah [Verse 1] I been comparing new to old That Broke was k**ing speakers pray my new sh** gold Cause talent don't always cut it even great ones fold I'm cut from the same cloth but the difference is known I was doubting myself and that sh** was hurting My mind lacked direction then my mood would worsen I don't wanna be a student going through the motions Some waves are too real for coasting And I ain't even boasting Jamie told me keep it real and relatable The formula and then the rest gon follow I give the people today instead of stressing tomorrow I got new flows a couple n***as plan to borrow I'm not the same guy from when I started I'm good like a corner three left unguarded Really you know I been a problem I don't need no pardon I'd rather fly so I don't need no parking Dreams money could buy Yeah My trembling hands became fists Stuck in my comfort zone cause I'm scared to take risks I used to love to party now I hate that sh** Cause n***as just come to beef like they scared to chase chicks And I don't get it, I guess I'm different I'm tryna find the path thats the most efficient My momma told me son you gotta stick with it It's a million rappers but only one vision Her support means the most, and I don't never take it for granted See my dad be around but he always angry I don't know what happened sh** maybe I do Like father like son, prophecies come true My Lord, I know I missed a couple Sundays
But guide me from the wrong turns riding on this one-way For real I'm tryna keep it together Sandra son gon shine in stormy weather [Hook] I'm tryna keep it together I'm tryna keep it together I'm tryna keep it together Sandra son gon shine in stormy weather I'm tryna keep it together I'm tryna keep it together I'm tryna keep it together Sandra son gon shine in stormy weather [Verse 2] I been doing too much overthinking It ain't a party if I'm sober so you know I'm drinking You never feel it right away, you gotta let it sink in I got a girl but for tonight I'm tryna see who with it You feel me? I know it's wrong, I'm selfish so I indulge I ain't even 21 so really who's tryna rush? And that's hard to explain when you're young And all the females is out looking for some love I'm in the huddle with my n***as just drawing up plays We used to dream about the life way back in the days We wanted to ball just like swish But a goal without a plan is nothing more than a wish So its, less talking, more action The soundtrack to my life needs more planning For real I'm tryna do way better Sandra son gon shine in stormy weather [Hook] I'm tryna keep it together I'm tryna keep it together I'm tryna keep it together Sandra son gon shine in stormy weather I'm tryna keep it together I'm tryna keep it together I'm tryna keep it together Sandra son gon shine in stormy weather [Outro] In the stormy weather In the storm, in the storm, in the stormy weather I'm tryna do way better I'm tryna do way better I think they like it when you're more vulnerable, you know? When you talk to em like that I know you used to like it
