Expectations

(专辑： I.C.A.B.S. - 2019)

Things don't always go the way you want, it's alright, it's alright
You'll fall down a million times but just keep on trying, keep on trying

Just figured I'd snap, these echelon artisanal raps
I guess it's safe to say the villain is back
I had to dip in my bag, put up the cash 'cause niggas wouldn't go half
Still independent 'cause I did all the math
As I subtract from the pack, the journey I'm on, yeah it's all for the path
The scenic route, the round-a-bouts, I pray to God I don't crash
Could lose it as quick as I got it, thankful for what I have
I wanted more than what I saw, man my vision is brash
Plastic bag [?] past, throw that shit in the trash
Breaking the mold and the ceiling, nigga's cracking the glass
Making the most of what I got, my motive's more than just cash
All I can do is give it all that I have, well in fact it's just that
It's safe to say this shit is more than just tougher
Throw in the towel, call it quits, feel like I might give up
Rejection's all they handing out, my skin is not that thick
In solitude, I just feel like shit
Nigga I must admit, I'm tryna come up with a plan of action
What do you do when nothing's working, you can't make it happen
Progression's stagnant, taking shots, it's like I'm barely standing
All this pressure I can barely manage, I can't understand it

Things don't always go the way you want, it's alright, it's alright
You'll fall down a million times but just keep on trying, keep on trying

I can't keep dealing with these setbacks, breaking down to rebuild
I'm playing the field, playing my role, praying that these wounds heal
This shit can make you cold inside, love don't live here
They tell me keep my head held high, you gon' get there, but I feel
It's safe to say this shit is more than just tougher
Throw in the towel, call it quits, feel like I might give up
Rejection's all they handing out, my skin is not that thick
In solitude, I just feel like shit
Nigga I must admit, I'm tryna come up with a plan of action
What do you do when nothing's working, you can't make it happen
Progression's stagnant, taking shots, it's like I'm barely standing
All this pressure I can barely manage, I can't understand it
