Luke White - Reflections Pt. 3 lyrics

[Verse 1] Life is so different since that 408 Ain't talked to people in some years and now the scores so late but it's settled Like Jordan From back before recording When I was waking at 5 'cause tuition we can't afford it can't force my parents to take another mortgage out Was tryna sort it early mornings holding as my balling as my only route Was failing cla**es and hailing Mary's and bailing on plans that they tried to make for me none of that sh** was made for me f** all your patience I want it now why they holding out I'm not coldest out? sh** I'm the hottest lately I'm just a product of always giving a f** if you love it or not and saying I don't when your watching all of a sudden I'm getting buckets like it's flooding and my roof is missing I choose the distance and run it Who's on my co*k and my clock when my time is coming I find abundance in nothing then struggle with feeling something can't dumb it down for these numbers nah I know I've missed you but my aim is getting better Ropes are getting tethered Ties are getting severed Ties are getting tied I think I'll die before I 9 to 5 I'll tie my boots and then make sure that all my ends are tied There ain't no telling what that selling out can do to you I'll tie my tie at the Grammies or at my funeral Until that comes I'm just running my f**ing mouth never running from word of mouth got the hottest word in south run it I know some rappers out here buzzing off hype They love to say they got the juice but just got numbers aight And those lie We checked your resume credentials looking hella strange how you from the city when you grew up in a different state And all this buddy buddy kick backing dick grabbing kid rapping ain't gon' do sh** when I'm tryna split fractions I got my family to feed and I got damages to see to see through people in my pockets tryna keep them at a distance they persistent I go missing what's the difference f** your life and f** your feelings double down I got the vision for you Know you can't do this on your own so this is business for you Just call my lawyer he's the sh** he'll check the digits for you Your bars are weak as hell for pay I got a**istance for you And if you dissing me I'll even write your disses for you So we can make this sh** resemble competition not too fond of splitting bills or getting meals with opposition listen Still drinking liquor on a late night f** all the fake nights Don't go out much but when I do that sh** is stressful I have to dress impressive all my friends think I'm successful I'm picking up the check but need a check 'cause now my rents due Bite marks on my pencil Chin up boy they staring at you used to look with love was eye to eye but now they glaring at you Ain't talked in years and now they follow 'cause they care about you They tell your secrets to their friends they want to share about you Ohhh So I guess this where the story's headed I put relationships aside until that glory set in But part of me thinks I'll be chasing till my story's finished know it's so ironic when you've reached your goals you're just beginning I search for closure but I've never seen a way to find it The only time I know the feelings when I get reminded Cuz losing something never hurts as much in theory all these talks about what ifs you'll get the drift but just endearing So clearly never know the sun until it's dark at night and you don't really know your loved ones till you never talk at night Don't think I really need a top five I'll settle for two to be honest probably don't need even that I'm better with you I'm hoping that I medal when I'm in your competition know I told you never settle still you show up I go missing But when this drops don't even have to talk just hope you listen I did this all for you some nights I wonder if you miss it [Outro] If we ball know we all gon' ball together or we all gon' fall together Can't waste these nights forever or chase these lights forever can't race the heavens If we ball know we all gon' ball together or we all gon' fall together Can't waste these nights forever or chase these lights forever can't race the heavens no
