When It Was Lyrics by AJY

2023

{Verse 1}
Turn the page I been so impatient for my pay stub
Who can blame someone who been working so damn much
Save that money end up pocketing up never buying lunch
Investing in my music and my future hoping for some luck
I been pacing myself but can’t stop constantly being anxious
I want it wondering how much longer I’ll be waiting
Some say they love me, I feel part of them be faking
Why can’t I man up and market my music admitting I’m quaking
Shaken, breaking drowning worried about opinions
Rocky roads but I’ll still bounce back better like suspension
Nitpicking prolly jealous cause I’m literally existing
Merеly a coincidence that your talent is missing
Career slowing down at a yеllow like you pissing
I’m always first and fast it only takes me about a second
To finish my task ain’t even talking bout busting
Making all these mistakes cause

{Hook}
I’m tryna make some waves but I’m tired
No other way to do it
Putting my all in my career avoiding falling down
And Feeling washed up but I still haven’t made an imprint on ya
Want y’all to know AJY must I overthink promotion

{Verse 2}
God damn I always make these mistakes
Procrastinating on my plans that say to do what it takes
Getting myself out there but still scared to be talking face to face
Over analyzing all my presentation as of late
I miss my friends so much
And going out to lunch
I cut them off like dumbass and now ain’t got no one
I used to talk to em and my life was actually fun
Last time they about me prolly been a couple of months
I’ll send em my music but I won’t even bother checking up
And I apologize but they prolly won’t hear this cause I shut
Myself off and got comfy inside off a shell
I did this to myself and made me sink into this endless hell
Like senior year I never interacted with any my peers
I Lost all my contacts and was enveloped with tears
And developed an obsession of never learning a lesson to living in fear
Like my alone time but I still miss when it was we’re

{Verse 3}
When it was we’re
When it wasn’t just me
I messed up big time
Lost apart of me
When it was we’re
When it wasn’t just me

{Hook}
I’m tryna make some waves but I’m tired
No other way to do it
Putting my all in my career avoiding falling down
And Feeling washed up but I still haven’t made an imprint on ya
Want y’all to know AJY must I overthink promotion
