Things change, new situations, new women
Who don’t care about my situation
They hold it down cause I’m real about my situations
Or maybe they fake it or they playing just to be my favorite

I ain’t got a favorite yet, but one is coming close
I’m back and forth cause I’m chasing what I love the most
At the same time I work enough to maybe buy a home
Tired renting shit, my family don’t know what it’s like to own something

I’d rather start fresh and grow something
I’m smart enough to know that I still don’t know nothing
Control what you can, and what you can’t, let it go
My little brothers and my sister still young but but getting old

I try to watch the way I move for the sake of them
I don’t want them seeing me like I’m a black sheep but I was raised different

Poppa bailed on me and I stole my moms 20’s
Now I’m in my 20’s, what the fuck y’all want from me

Far from perfect, it’s not like I’m getting paid for this
I gotta work just to pay for shit
But I’m thankful I could work at all
So I’m just working dawg
Far from perfect, it’s not like I’m getting paid for this
I gotta work just to pay for shit
But I’m thankful I could work at all
So I’m just working dawg, I hope it's worth it all

Yeah

Things change new situations
New women who know all about my situation
Being honest save a lot of miscommunication
I thank my ex because she understood my situation

I learned to be a man with women without pop's advice
I never asked I felt like I ain’t have his validation
My boy told me you ain’t it gotta worry bout it
His pops died so his only choice to live without it

A lot of things I feel but don’t know how to feel about it
Like maybe full time is just a waste of time
But if I stop will this music shit save me from my bills
Or will it keep my grandmother out retirement for real
Or pay her phone line at least

All I know it’s all up to me
But the pressure on me make it hard to breathe
But I’m just happy that I’m breathing still
Whatever happens I’ll be happy with just being real

Far from perfect, it’s not like I’m getting paid for this
I gotta work just to pay for shit
But I’m thankful I could work at all
So I’m just working dawg
Far from perfect, it’s not like I’m getting paid for this
I gotta work just to pay for shit
But I’m thankful I could work at all
So I’m just working dawg, I hope it's worth it all

Yeah

These days I'm just tryna get my bread right
Switching lanes in the dark with my headlights off
Headlights off
Headlights off
Headlights off
Yeah

These days I'm just tryna get my bread right
Switching lanes in the dark with my headlights off
Headlights off
Headlights off
Headlights off
Yeah

These days I'm just tryna get my bread right
Switching lanes in the dark with my headlights off
Headlights off
