By Myself (Life Ain’t What it Seems) Lyrics by Trace Strider

2022

{Intro}
Ay
Aye
Okay
I got my
{Verse}
Thumb up on my city, yet I'm under it
I will stay grindin' all my life
You can't encumber this
Since a teen, I always wonderin'
What life would be like if I rolled the dice
Up on my dreams
But now I know just what it's like
And I've come to find
This ain't happen overnight
I'm calculated, makin' moves
While stayin' so precise
I give my all but keep my honor and my soul aligned
My boundaries are painted clear so watch me hold the line
When fate and I met
I said, "I ain't sidestep"
Music is the Advil to my pain
Thе cure to my stress
Some food for thought
So bеtter go and digest
I always give my best
I won't digress
I live by my rules like a ref
(Yo)
{Chorus}
Life Ain't What it Seems
Likely when I scheme
I finally reach my dream
Yeah, I drive right through the deep
I said:
Find me in my zone
Bar been risin' from the floor
I go build
Man, I'm well
But I've been all By Myself
(I said that)
Life Ain't What it Seems
Likely when I scheme
I finally reach my dream
Yeah, I drive right through the deep
(I said:)
Find me in my zone
Bar been risin' from the floor
I go build
Man, I'm well
But I've been all By Myself
{Verse}
Turn it all 'to a face off
You don't want to go and play the boss
I embrace my wrongs and keep it strong
I see the cost
The receipt is long
(Yeah)
In the scene with no limousine
The better me is a bitter me
Only 1 of y'all can even get to III
To the rest, no disruptin' my inner peace
I stay bound to my lane
I stay fast like Ramadan plates
Imma put a lot on my name
Loud mouths get up out of my face
With that game I'm about to engage
Talkin' big, get doused in flames
Please don't say it in roundabout ways
Cuz the time is now
Be proud of your name
(So I say)
{Chorus}
Life Ain't What it Seems
Likely when I scheme
I finally reach my dream
Yeah, I drive right through the deep
I said:
Find me in my zone
Bar been risin' from that floor
I go build
Man, I'm well
But I've been all By Myself
(I said that)
Life Ain't What it Seems
Likely when I scheme
I finally reach my dream
Yeah, I drive right through the deep
I said:
Find me in my zone
Bar been risin' from the floor
I go build
Man, I'm well
But I've been all By Myself
{Bridge}
I used to get frustrated
Speak with inauthentic statements
Pulled the wool over my eyes
I was suffocatin'
Needed somethin' for relief
- Lowest like a basement
Through hardship I became a beast
But I won't bow to Satan
Now I like to be myself
Everyone else is taken
Cracked out of my shell
Far from bein' Jaded
Consider all of this:
Calulated
Peace I'm 'bout to chase it
Purposely chose a path that ain't the safest...
{Chorus}
Life Ain't What it Seems
Likely when I scheme
I finally reach my dream
Yeah, I drive right through the deep
I said:
Find me in my zone
Bar been risin' from the floor
I go build
Man, I'm well
But I've been all By Myself
(I said that)
Life Ain't What it Seems
Likely when I scheme
I finally reach my dream
Yeah, I drive right through the deep
(I said:)
Find me in my zone
Bar been risin' from the floor
I go build
Man, I'm well
But I've been all By Myself
