[Verse 1: Young Gatsby]
Trip out, I took a trip out to Vegas
With two of my close friends, after a night drinking
The city never closes, I decided to open
Talk about emotions you’re not supposed to hold in
Even after drinking
I figured it was something that I needed
Fuckers trynna step to me, instantly
I would snap back and I be heated
The mood wasn’t meant for me it isn’t fitted, later that evening
Before we go out, figured it’s time to rack a line
Open up my notes, typing till I think of rhymes
Use that shit to cope, and it was my second time
That I was, till a dearest friend of mine said it wasn’t meant for me, I had an epiphany
I wasn’t the coldest white rapper in the game
Whatever expectations I don’t have to live up to that name
“Young Gatsby”, I figured that was for the fame
But I truly thought Gatsby was an artist
I used to live under a rock: Bill Fagerbakke
Gatsby, like Leonardo Da Vinci
Then I had a realization that this artist I was thinking of is truly me
What a coincidence Leonardo was in the movie
DiCaprio, that’s before I ever watched the screen
Da Vinci and that’s relating things
It all makes sense that’s my manifesto

[Verse 2: YDC]
(Yeah) Half of 2021 is already gone
They say time flies when you’re really havin fun
Well that would depend which side of life you really on (I been tryin', tryin', tryin', tryin')
I’ve had more downs than ups
Friends say they with it but really ain’t down enough
Troubles on the way, they ain’t around with us
Never met them in my life, so why they in the crowd with us
We takin snaps they over here photo bombing
Stay tryna fit in but they don’t know nobody
I got a good little shawty, she a homebody
Fine as fuck but didn’t pay doctors to make her own body (I been tryin', tryin', tryin', tryin')
Let that line sink in, somebody need to hear it
Death is inevitable so I don’t ever fear it
Cause I’m a father & a son so I must be a Holy Spirit (I been tryin', tryin', tryin', tryin')
Stepped inside my box, that’s where your mistakes at
Can never find your girl, I could never relate that
But let me tell ya she over here throwin that cake back
And believe me when I say we’ve all had a slice
Tryna lock it down, she gave me the key more than twice
She ain’t the type for the white dress covered in rice
That’s why I dick her down & never treat her too nice
Very cautious when it comes to showin emotion
Poured my heart out before, I ended up broken
Now I act like I ain’t got a heart like that shit was stolen
Like that shit is frozen, locked it up with no way to be open
No way to be open so stop the lock pickin
Your time is runnin thin, know you hear the clock tickin
Tryna take shots at me but they not hittin
But when I go off, it’s like a bomb that stops tickin
I got eyes every where, I see you tryna creep up
Tryna figure out my next move so ya’ll can keep up
It don’t got me worried, I’m relaxin with my feet up
With this one verse I’ll have all of ya’ll fuck boys freeze up
Now I ain’t sayin I come with the smartest rhymes
I ain’t sayin that I come with the hardest lines
I’m just tryna keep my head up through my darkest times
And I want my money longer than a Black Friday target line (I been tryin', tryin', tryin', tryin')
Shoutout to coastline, we rockin flamingos
She tryna speak my language, like she downloaded Duolingo
We in the studio all week long, Lunes to Domingo
Vibin at the crib sippin on some Jack
Couple glasses later I’m on that Virginia black
Hit the studio again, produce some fire tracks
Release them one after another, like Drake it’s back to back (I been tryin', tryin', tryin', tryin')
Another one for the books, started keepin a tally
Got everybody comin together like there was a rally
And I keep people wanting more like a season finale
They want me gone, but I’m permanent like a sharpie
Couldn’t get rid of me even if you had an army
Sayin you keep it one hunnid, ima tell you hardly
Could take one look at you & see you faker than a Barbie (I been tryin', tryin', tryin', tryin')
Losing my cool on this track was something that I needed
Bottled up inside, it was about that time to release it
Got more hits comin out the vault best believe it
