Patrick Paige II - So They Say lyrics

[Verse 1] I don't know if I'm doing this in vain, yeah But I swear that this sh*t be in my veins This sh*t been startin' to drive me insane I just want the money, I don't even need the fame What if this sh*t I'm making actually lame? That's why I ain't took off like a bullet train What if I ain't as good as I think I am? (Yeah) All this gold on my neck, like who do I think I am? Complex wiring and circuitry gave me emotions Connected to my brain from which that came all the notions I'd be a liar if I said I didn't fill my mind with doubt I'd be a liar if I didn't get my truth out Now I done rapped my heart out and blew the roof out And I done rapped so hard, I swear I spit a tooth out The hourglass ain't giving me no time back Talked to my nana with hеr cigarettes and wine glass And shе said [Chorus] "Everything happens for a reason" (Everything, everything) So they say But honestly, I don't know what to believe in these days Yeah, seasons change, people change Talked to my ni**as, and they told me, "Don't trip" "'Cause you the captain of your own ship" [Verse 2] My girl been going through it, sometimes I feel helpless Racing with my friends like, "Damn, how can I help this?" I just want to be wealthy, buy sh*t I couldn't afford I still live within my means, I drive a Honda Accord I take eighty-seven gas, I'm not a regular ni**a Support Black business, breaking bread with all of my ni**as I ain't gon' stop 'til I pile several figures Retire when I'm tired, go figure [Chorus] "Everything happens for a reason" (Everything, everything) So they say But honestly, I don't know what to believe in these days (Oh, oh, oh, ooh) [Bridge] Starin' in the dark, my thoughts haunting me all at night I done been so broke, I done put my pockets in rice I don't keep a stank face, I try to keep it polite Speeding down the tunnel, I'm headed straight towards the light [Chorus] "Everything happens for a reason" (Everything, everything) So they say But honestly, I don't know what to believe in these days (Oh, oh, oh, ooh) Seasons change, people change Talked to my ni**as and they told me, "Don't trip" "'Cause you the captain of your own ship" [Outro] You are the captain of your own flight today
