K.A.A.N. - In My Way lyrics

[Chorus: K.A.A.N. & Jaguilera] It’s all I’ve done It’s all I do It’s all I’ll ever need It’s all I want And I just hope that they remember me And the pain Doesn’t seem to go away But I want this sh*t to change I got love for the game Find it hard to stay the same And I don’t want that [Verse 1: K.A.A.N.] I operate off integrity, my intentions are pure You know these ni**as sell they souls for the newest velour I never could ride in that lane They hydroplane when they inconvenienced by turbulence Swerving back and forth tryna find a spot they could merge up in But no I’ll never define myself by my position, listen This is years of repetition, dedication, and persistence It’s a blessing and a curse No one is bigger than me When it’s got to the point that respect is the last thing that I need For the validation they seek is only for public perception I seen ni**as self implode from the fear of rejection I seen ni**as act like hoes so they can be accepted by people that don’t give a fu*k, they left their morals neglected But not I I would never do the same Lord knows I could never do the same I’m too stuck in my ways Too much pride ni**a I could never change no [Chorus: K.A.A.N. & Jaguilera] It’s all I’ve done It’s all I do It’s all I’ll ever need It’s all I want And I just hope that they remember me And the pain Doesn’t seem to go away But I want this sh*t to change I got love for the game Find it hard to stay the same And I don’t want that [Verse 2: K.A.A.N.] Lately I’ve been feeling hopeless Had to recenter my focus Took a second, had to dive deep to my heart beat but I notice I was just managing pain Lifestyles of the vain Lights out in the daytime, in the darkness once again It’s harder to find your center when you lacking faith You feeling like a basket case Your confidence deceased, it seems your self-esteem has passed away I’m running and running and running ’til I reach the finish I’m giving it everything I got until there’s nothing in me It’s all love, peace, and blessings I hope you succeed, true indeed I pray you get everything that you feel you need Just understand that everything ain’t always what it seems What was once a dream could turn into the Devil’s Mezzanine A living hell, it’s hard to tell which way we even going Still a lack of empathy, there’s nowhere to guard your emotions It’s darkness before the light shines and the sun enters Either way no matter how low you get just try to remember [Chorus: K.A.A.N. & Jaguilera] It’s all I’ve done It’s all I do It’s all I’ll ever need It’s all I want And I just hope that they remember me And the pain Doesn’t seem to go away But I want this sh*t to change I got love for the game Find it hard to stay the same And I don’t want that
