Statement Lyrics by Jay-R

2019

Yeah, I had to focus up
Back then they
Didn't notice us
(Mmm mmm)

Tryna' get my bread
Straight i have to focus up
Shout out to my
Guys that make it happen
Yeah ya know its love
Didn't have a penny
In my jeans, only carried drugs
Couldn't even smoke no
Other weed cause i
Owed the plug
Tryna get my bread
Straight i have to focus up
Shout out to my guys
That make it happen
Yeah ya know its love
Didn't have a penny
In my jeans, only carried drugs
Couldn't even smoke no
Other weed cause i
Owed the plug

They're only gonna
Love you when you way up
That's why I'm sitting
Here focused on this paper
Doing what i do
Every day to get my name up
Now I'm in my lane stuck
Ballin' like a Laker
If you saw the roaches
In my crib
You would've threw up
But I'm just tryna' show
You how a ***** grew up
Can't even make music
In the crib
Not feelin' the love
Shawty always helps me out
Even when i feel stuck
Paranoia was my bestfriend
Thought any second
That i could've
Been a dead man
Told myself twenty nineteen
I'm counting blessings
Had a few dollars a day
That i was stretching (yeah)

Tryna' get my bread
Straight i have to focus up
Shout out to my
Guys that make it happen
Yeah ya know its love
Didn't have a penny
In my jeans, only carried drugs
Couldn't even smoke no
Other weed cause i
Owed the plug
Tryna get my bread
Straight i have to focus up
Shout out to my guys
That make it happen
Yeah ya know its love
Didn't have a penny
In my jeans, only carried drugs
Couldn't even smoke no
Other weed cause i
Owed the plug


I'm on fire man
I feel like a heater
Only way to cool me down
Is if i'm put in a freezer
Watch me turn out
All my doubters
Make em' into believers
Just cause i **** with you
That doesn't really
Mean that i need ya (yeah)
I know, sometimes
I get in my feelings too
Had to man up
Cause mama told
Me that the rent was due
Learned to always push through
Even when it gets difficult
Some days for breakfast
Lunch and dinner, I
Only had cereal, I had
To learn things the hard way
And I blame myself
Wasn't listening to others
When they only tried to help
Always keep my head up
Even though i'm
Feeling way down
Time is of the essence
So you know
I can't play now

Tryna' get my bread
Straight i have to focus up
Shout out to my
Guys that make it happen
Yeah ya know its love
Didn't have a penny
In my jeans, only carried drugs
Couldn't even smoke no
Other weed cause i
Owed the plug
Tryna get my bread
Straight i have to focus up
Shout out to my guys
That make it happen
Yeah ya know its love
Didn't have a penny
In my jeans, only carried drugs
Couldn't even smoke no
Other weed cause i
Owed the plug
