FifthGod, Marlon Craft - Ladders lyrics

Visions of who I could be
Hope that they align with visions
Of who I should be
Hope that intertwines with wisdom
That’s where the good be
But lately I’m perplexed cause I
Been gettin all I want
Still tryna figure out what’s next
I begun to spread my wings but
I’m still tryna find a nest
They all sayin this my time
So I’m tryna find a sec just to breathe
At times I wish I could relive to relieve
Even for the death of self doubt
Need a minute to grieve
Shit, but ain't no sittin
Shiverin in remembrance of the old you
How you stay present on a
Train that’s movin forward?
I’m at the point in life where fans
Buy me beer at the bar to
Show love but they didn’t know on
My own I couldn’t afford it
The paradox of success and it's implications
I live in behest of my inclinations
She say "That’s my dream to
Be recognized out in public
" I just stay quiet
If she only knew that mine’s to
Be admired in her eyes
It’s just funny, grass is always greener
Somethin’s always missin here
Ironic, if you search you’ll always
Find what isn’t there
I’ll take bein sad over bein
Someone who didn’t care
But been tryin learn to appreciate
What I did this year

Slow it down young man, why you troubled
Son? Keep on makin your plans
You gon run with some
The winter gon feel warm
When the summer comes
Can’t shake the work so muddy up your shirt
Yo see around my way, we don’t play a role
You don’t just be great cause you say it’s so
These days my mind’s playin
Playin like the radio
Same four songs, ain't no days off, dog

They say all pain is relative
Me and mine close
Man I feel like that’s my relative
It get on my nerves but helped shape me
I gotta let it live
Wonder bout the relief, if any at all
The cheddar give
Still ain't seen much paper
Is it vitamin or sedative?
Guess we’ll know when they cut the check
I spent some time beside dealers like
I would cut the deck
And my experience tell me
That it’s the latter
So I’m thinkin bout money but
Also what to do after i get it
We be consumed with consumption it’s paradox
At least could turn my room to a dungeon
I’ll bare my thoughts in peace
Shit, a lot of choices
Disguised as circumstances
A lot of actions disguised as
Risk if you circle chances
Sometimes it’s bold just to be
Consistent with simple stuff
To be savage is easy but it’s
Hard to give a fuck "Live it up
Live it up" what they tell you
As they drag you down
But when that dirt come up out the rug
Bet you don’t vacuum now
I was taught you deserve to get dunked on
If you let em back you down
Boy you better scrap and foul
They gotta know you’ll show up
But ain't no substitute for really
Knowin how to play
So honestly you growin down if you
Don’t grow up every day

Slow it down young man, why you troubled
Son? Keep on makin your plans
You gon run with some
The winter gon feel warm
When the summer comes
Can’t shake the work so muddy up your shirt
Yo see around my way, we don’t play a role
You don’t just be great cause you say it’s so
These days my mind’s playin
Playin like the radio
Same four songs, ain't no days off, dog
