Packy - Save The Pleasantries lyrics

[Verse 1: Packy] Steady tryna take the high road But they make it so hard They love to tell you "dream big" 'Till you take it too far They can tell you what you're doin' wrong But could never do it like you If they can't put a label on ya Ain't no tellin' what you might do Made a lotta changes, I had to do it Difference between me and them is I can see the wall before I crash into it I saw the country this year, twice, some people missin' I gave some people a hint I guess we'll see who listen Crazy when your dream is right in front of you I been so caught up in day-to-day, to me it's nothin' new When did we get here, and why didn't we celebrate it? I think I learned that when we really make it I won't have to say it (x4) I don't wanna have to say it [Hook: Packy] I think I've been trying to please everybody for way too long Save the pleasantries [Verse 2: Packy] sh** is real as ever I feel okay, but I feel the pressure Fell into some old ways to get me felling better It never lasts People say "let it pa**" People talk, and people get dismissed like the undercla** I feed on that If I cut a record, then I bleed on that They want me underground But I'd rather keep my feet on that Used to really play the background Lookin' up to cats But couldn't tell you where they're at now It's crazy I don't know if they got lazy or they couldn't catch a break Either way I'm yellin' "pay me" cause you never know Tryna' stay ahead and sh** Must be doin' something right Finally seeing benefits I think I could make some people relevant But they're too busy tryna' make their own room They don't see the elephant That's why I'm out here like the delegate Tryna' turn my boys into the ones I get the cheddar with That's why I'm out here like the delegate (x3) Tryna' turn my boys into the ones I get the cheddar with [Hook: Packy] [Verse 3: Packy] Sometimes I need a tough love It's sincere I don't need a lesson now Tell me what I wanna hear I been around the block They don't get a cut I work around the clock Hear me on sway for anything come off top Money in Won't shake me down I ain't make money then It won't make me now Soon as peers can't relate Then they break me down I swear they hate me only cause they ain't me now My fuse got shorter, skin got thinner I got fuel for the fire Baby, 'bout to be a hot winter Big bears tryna' eat and I'm not dinner I got a lot on my plate And you boys chop liver I'm a hot spitter, ask about me at the hospital I'm surgical with the flow, boy, I'm Doc Rivers Ain't no middle ground these days You either wit' us or you're not wit' us
