Julissa Leilani - 84 lyrics

[Intro] It's Bristol, baby, hehehe Uh [Verse: Aaron Cole] It's taken some years tryin' to find me Long road, but it ain't concrete I made some mistakes that still haunt me Damage control been my undercover hobby My pride runnin' marathons at a high speed Uh, got me prayin' on my knees Tryna keep my past behind me But in my heart I wanna say there ain't a rapper that's gon' take my seat, yeah I almost lost it all before I even got it It all go back to bein' honest I was more worried bout takin' shawty to Sonic Driving down Forest Lane, never been as toxic, uh Readin' Scriptures, paintin' vivid pictures Relatin' to stories, guess I found a lot of hidden figures, uh I ain't David, but you get the kicker Been in my head so the wins don't make me think that I'm a winner, uh 'Cause that don't last long Therapy been slowin' down, a lot of fastballs I know God preparin' me for the blast off The devil only prowl when you a threat, I'm goin' mad far, uh So I thank God I'm tryna hold my hood up like I'm Trayvon Been fresh way before I hit grade nine Did a lot of don'ts so far as dues, yeah, I paid mine, yeah It all go back to bein' honest And not a profit, not how I can be the biggest artist I'm the biggest already because I'm Bristol's finest, uh, right, look Remember Kirk dialed me up before I hit the stage Honestly, that meant more than my lil' fame Had an artist say when he win he'll switch me for my J's I should ask him now if he still wanna trade, yeah I mean I'm still amazed I still can't believe that the feelings fade I fed on top of the world with just a lil' taste But honestly, I'm the most happy when I'm in VA, yeah Wit' my fam there They asking for the old Cole, well, I am him I'm tryna walk up to my Pops and give him ten mil' That still ain't enough for all the times he been real I can't even lie, they tellin' me to pick a side They sayin' "Sing" and then I sing, they ask me where the lines Industry not what I thought, so I'm 'bout to slide Crazy younger me thought this was really all about God They just want me kissin' up to these shady folk, mm It's all about the ratings, though If I change lives, who care about the radio? I'm tryna give the folks my heart until I'm eighty-four Right, 'til I'm eighty-four Eighty-four [Refrain: Aaron Cole & Juilissa Leilani] I'm tryna tell 'em 'bout a heavenly joy I know grace is real 'cause He ain't even gave up on the boy (Ooh) Tryna tell 'em 'bout a heavenly joy (Ooh) I know grace is real 'cause He ain't gave up on the boy (Ooh) 'Til I'm eighty-four [Outro: Juilissa Leilani] Ooh-oh, I know grace is really real He ain't even givin' up on the boy, on the boy, ooh I'm tryin' to tell 'em 'bout the heavenly joy I swore, He ain't ever givin' up on the boy
