[Intro: Charlemagne Tha God & 21 Savage]
(That-that was a hard line though; you said you'd rather have loyalty than love)
(On God, I would)
(What's that mean exactly?)
[Verse 1]
Ain't no money in the world to buy happiness
I tried; if somebody told you otherwise, they lied
It's crazy what we do to feel alive
Like hide behind our pride and
Cover what's inside and wipe tears from our eyes when nobody watchin'
I just broke up with my girl, that was not an option, it was toxic
Reminded me of everything I saw when I was not shit
Felt like I was being pushed around like a mosh pit
Bad enough, I'm broke and brokеn, hopeless
Still in therapy tryna copе with things that nobody noticed
My sister nigga shot her five times
She tried to leave him; even love couldn't save her
That's the reason I believe in "You can't force shit"
I swear to God she was gorgeous
She almost lost her life, she been torn since
Her self-esteem ain't been the same
But honestly, who the fuck we gon' blame?
We put ourselves in this shit
[Chorus]
Yeah, Lord, I been prayin' for a change
Yeah, I know I'm broken but I can't stay broke forever
Forever, no
Mmm, same shit, just a different day
God said he gon' make a way
Guess we'll make it together
Together, no
[Verse 2]
Mama said "Be careful who you let in your circle; they're opportunists"
Gotta watch who you be cool with; motherfuckers think you stupid
Be elusive 'cause the world is filled with lucifers
She said she never met a nigga who was true to her
I feel like every single woman in my life got trauma
Including me, I hope you know your time ain't timeless
That's true at least, I seen a nigga die in silence
He couldn't breathe; I think that I was nine
And I cried when I couldn't sleep
My granny drank liquor like it was water
I used to be bitter seein' my uncles with their daughters
'Cause I ain't have a daddy I wish he was more supportive
But that nigga doing life cause he got caught up (Fuck him)
[Chorus]
Yeah, Lord, I been prayin' for a change
Yeah, I know I'm broken but I can't stay broke forever
Forever, no
Mmm, same shit, just a different day
God said he gon' make a way
Guess we'll make it together
Together, no
[Verse 3]
You give what you get, can't live with regrets
If life is a game, you gotta play it like chess
I've been taken for granted, somebody gotta get checked
I took so many L's, that means I gotta get blessed
I've been working on self, I was bad in my prime
If you had to get yours, that means I had to get mine
Wasn't sweet where I'm from
I tasted blood more than pussy
I thought my talent would take me out the hood, they overlooked me
I'm still feelin' like that
I got my feelings attached
But I got fans who write me letters like "You still on the map"
Don't give up, look at the lives you impact
But who lookin' at me?
Ain't nobody come around when I was looking at three
Fed time
You niggas sleep on me like bedtime
I can't wait 'til my name is the headline
Until then, it's fuck everybody and I say that disrespectfully
I shoulda never let you niggas get next to me
[Chorus]
Yeah, Lord, I been prayin' for a change
Yeah, I know I'm broken but I can't stay broke forever
Forever, no
Mmm, same shit, just a different day
God said he gon' make a way
Guess we'll make it together
Together, no
[Post-Chorus]
(Forever)
(Forever, no)
(Together)
(Together, no)
[Outro]
I genuinely had to fall flat on my face
Even if it happened a thousand times, I needed those times
Because look where I'm at now
