Ocean - Burning Out lyrics

[Verse 1: C-Trox] I woke up yesterday, I shot my mom a text I said mama I love you I'ma give this my best She asked me how I'm doing, how I'm dealing with the stress I said I'm good but the truth is that my life is a mess Uh, so for now I've been blaming it on these women It's crazy how good p**y is blinding, when you make decisions Mix it up with real sh**ty timing that we're given It makes it hard to believe I'll be good, but I got a vision I see myself on big stages, just keep rapping I'm down to do whatever the f** it takes, to make it happen And I'ma keep calling out the fakes, like some fashion Lately Trox been moving all over the states, he's gaining traction But that could slip, with one wrong move That's why I tighten up my grip, with each and every f**ing song I choose Well life's a game, I make a lot of moves I think that I can see a victory coming, but I got a lot to lose [Hook: Anthony Russo] Someone stoke that fire for me Cause the light is getting dim The days are getting shorter and the night is moving in I can't keep this pace forever So I'll put the work in now But I need changing Cause baby I'm burning out [Verse 2: C-Trox] It's senior year of college, I truly can't believe it Always knew I would finish, I did it for a reason For my mom and my pops, and my professors teaching For myself, cause I won't ever be a quitter leaving Up late every night, I write till early morning Start getting ready for cla**, and keep on putting work in I don't question myself, with whether this is worth it I just look at my bank, and check my monthly earnings Eyes saggy but my pay checks are looking up The week's sh**, but my weekends are booking up Doings shows in fraternities for these different schools Blacked out going crazy, so they think I'm cool Praying, I don't wanna be someone that's not me Now I'm in the limelight, there's no one there to stop me Thank my fans, I know you're looking out But the pressure, I think I'm burnin' out [Hook: Anthony Russo] Someone stoke that fire for me Cause the light is getting dim The days are getting shorter and the night is moving in I can't keep this pace forever So I'll put the work in now But I need changing Cause baby I'm burning out [Pre-Outro: Anthony Russo] I'm burning I'm burning I'm burning Burning out (x3) I'm burning I'm burning I'm burning [Outro: Anthony Russo] Someone stoke that fire for me Cause the light is getting dim The days are getting shorter and the night is moving in I can't keep this pace forever So I'll put the work in now But I need changing Cause baby I'm burning out (x2)
