I spread my wings to fly, live my life on a cliff I'm bout to nose dive, I just hope I don't miss See every day has a price, I accept this like a gift I just need a genie, all I need is one wish A one scratch ticket that I bought ahead of mill I'm so deep in debt I don't even open bills I'm so far behind, I wonder how ahead feels, I've been dreaming bout money waking up wishing it's real Or wishin I could stay and see sometimes I wish I die, I gotta stay alive, though our daughter's almost nine, And one day she'll be twenty with a mind of her own, Only focused on the money, talking bout daddy I'm grown I told to take your time baby girl the world is cold And everybody love you when you're finally dead and gone, I say a prayer for her every day when I wake up I might be doing it big, but I ain't doing enough.
I spend my life, searching for happiness I've known time and time again, I'm not sure but I'm gon win I spread my wings, I pray the wind carries me Pain gon wash away my sense Pray that heaven lets me be when my time comes.
Time keeps ticking at me, hours like a minute, And every day I'm worried bout the critics of my image, I hope I keep it up the park, "˜cause if I don't I'm finished, I'm learning that my freestyles are better than my writings I'm barely writing shit down, I just keep talking, 'Cause everything I'm feeling in my heart got me exhausted But I don't speak about it, I don't feel the need to share it, I know my best work, my critics will never hear it, I'm standing in this mirror, trying to see my vision clearer Throwing water in my eyes I know the end is getting nearer Voices in my head keep telling me I should quit, But women in my life keep telling me I'm the shit When me and lane made our tape niggas laughed, Now they're saying we put 9-7-8 on the map, Imagine that niggas I looked up to I'm looking down on When make it, I'mma put the whole town on
I spend my life, searching for happiness I've known time and time again, I'm not sure but I'm gon win I spread my wings, I pray the wind carries me Pain gon wash away my sense Pray that heaven lets me be when my time comes.
