[Hook]
Life is tough but still we smiling through the pain
On top of gasworks, an island in the rain
I'm doing different things inside, it in my brain
On top of gasworks, an island in the rain
[1st Verse]
To move the world we thinking more than realistically
And every time I k** a beat we making history
They wanna hit the green, chill and take a trip with me
My gla** is full but that don't mean your taking sips from me
I forgive you for everything that you did to me
I don't regret it, but definitely felt it vividly
You feeling this? I reminisce on how we did this thing
Direct like Scorsese, guess it's time to switch the scene
I ain't stressing on the ones who isn't listening
This for my family, one day I'll have some kids to feed
Open my chest cause it gon' manifest eventually
Don't know what's best for you, but this is what was meant for me
On top these Jester beats, my life is in these sentences
I thank my teachers who could understand my penmanship
I thought a bunch of times, they undermine my summertime
Clouds was in my head but now they gone the sun can shine
[Hook]
Life is tough but still we smiling through the pain
On top of gasworks, an island in the rain
Trying to suit my soul and writing for the fame
On top of gasworks, an island in the rain
For years I lived the same and wondered why it didn't change
I'm doing different things, decided in my brain that
Life is tough but still we smiling through the pain
On top of gasworks, an island in the rain
[Verse 2]
I used to feel like we was always gonna live forever
Had to face the day it's time to get our ish together
Sometimes a rhyme inside your mind can seem to switch the weather
It's been a thick endeavor trash ain't never bring me treasure
And music's worth more than anything a critic measure
You ain't a boss to me the kid done went and skipped a level
So now I'm spitting better, probably cause I'm living better
We made these hits together, one day will be rich forever
Some people hit me up, cause now they see we coming up
I don't give em nothing, wouldn't lend a couple bucks
When I couldn't even eat, and that was something rough
And wouldn't come and pick me up when I was broke and stuck
Understand that money really makes your homies change
I spend my time alone, but I ain't feeling lonely mang
It helped me find myself and now I feel my soul again
I'm in control again the music been my only friend
