Compensate Lyrics by Ethan Martin

2017

When my bank account was falling under
Had to leave the house like fuck the comfort
I'm selling out, I'm counting numbers that would make the old me jealous now
Don't talk about it, that's before we had some green around
I'm seeing how these people always actin' like I owe them
Even if I barely know them
I'm focused, can't bring me out my zone
I really feel like I'm chosen, I chose it
No flow, it's cold
Yeah, it's frozen
I'm hoping you notice, you see the smoke
You gotta understand I'm doing everything I can
Not always workin' how I plan
You gotta understand I'm doing everything I can
I could be a better man
I'm trying to elevate
I gotta compensate for all the low times
Cause my time is coming late
And fuck the fake friends always askin' for charity
I've nothing to spare, except this clarity
You hearin' me
Nobody's gonna help you, gotta do it on your own
I've got enough to worry 'bout, don't bring your problems to my phone
I've come a long way from thinking 'bout it all day
It's all about the action, I actually play the game
You gotta understand I'm doing everything I can
Not always workin' how I plan
You gotta understand I'm doing everything I can
I could be a better man
I know where I've been, won't go there again
I'm done with the struggle, seems like it might never relent
I stay out of trouble, but know there is always potential
Roll up the president, get to work in the residence
Stay on the clock, used to hang with the minute men
This shit must be evident
People tell me I'm made for it
I work all day, slave for it
Make my way, pavement pouring
I'll ride my wave, surf board
Pull my weight, yours, and more
Cause I can not give any less than my all
I'm not talking to talk, I am free of that flaw
If you're doubting me, I am appalled
I'm playing my hand, I got clout in the cards that I draw
You gotta understand I'm doing everything I can
Not always workin' how I plan
You gotta understand I'm doing everything I can
I could be a better man
You gotta understand I'm doing everything I can
Not always workin' how I plan
You gotta understand I'm doing everything I can
I could be a better man
