lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see life for what it is
It’s a new day
But tomorrow never comes
And who says
You’ll be remembered like presents and sun in December?
Or the anticipation at the end of November?
And who says street smarts is better than academia?
To me, just seems macadamia
I still want it though
I definitely know
It’s my personality so how can I just let it go?
I wear my heart on my sleeve
From the start I believed
Even when my closest friends couldn’t see
Looking for room to breathe
Cause it’s crowded below
“See You At The Top” has become my M.O.
Although,
I knew,
Trials and tribulations I go through
Ultimately make me a bold dude
It’s so true and I can never change back
At least I told you a reason for why I’m saying that

[Chorus]
Yeah I been this way
Ever since I popped in, dropped out
You don’t understand it’s just me
Yeah I been this way
I am still the same to this day
I remain never changed it’s just me
Yeah I been this way
No need to get mad
Blame my mum, blame my friends, blame my dad
I’m just saying
Yeah I been this way
I just hope it’s clear that I’m here
I’m not going anywhere

[Verse 2]
Sometimes you’re born to do it
Born to make bomb music
I’ve been wanting to blow
Ever since dawn
Stupid, how things pan out
And everything I am ‘bout
Still tryna get gold without having a handout
I’m doing 9-to-5’s
When I stare at the mirror
I want the higher life
While preparing for dinner
Never for vanity
Only because cash rules
Similar to gravity
I always thought that’s cool
I was casual but that never pays much
If it was morning I was always looking for play lunch
I love the late nights
Partying and playing up
And all the time spent
Arguing and laying up
Oh and the finer things
Not to show ‘em off
I get bashful if anybody knew the cost
I’ve got flaws too
Shit don’t we all?
I’m just gonna do my thing and have a fuckin ball

[Chorus]

[Breakdown]

[Outro Chorus]
Yeah I been this way,
Yeah I been this way,
Yeah I been this way
No need to get mad
Blame my mum, blame my friends, blame my dad
I’m just saying
Yeah I been this way
I just hope it’s clear that I’m here
I’m not going anywhere
