Packy - Save the Pleasantries lyrics
[Packy - Save the Pleasantries lyrics]
Steady tryna take the high road but
They make it so hard
They love to tell you "dream big"
'til you take it too far
They can tell you what you're doin' wrong
But could never do it like you
If they can't put a label on ya
Ain't no tellin' what you might do
Made a lotta changes, I had to do it
Difference between me and them is I can see
The wall before I crash into it
I saw the country this year, twice
Some people missin'
I gave some people a hint
I guess we'll see who listen
Crazy when your dream is right
In front of you
I been so caught up in day-to day
To me it's nothin' new when did we get here
And why didn't we celebrate it?
Think I learned that when I really make
It I won't have to say it
When I make I won't have to say it
When I really make it I won't have to say it
When I make it I won't have to say it
I don't wanna have to say it
I think I've been tryna please
Everybody for way too long
Save the pleasantries
Uh, shit is real as ever, I feel okay
But I feel the pressure
Fell into some old ways to
Get me feeling better
It never lasts, people say "let it pass"
People talk, and people get dismissed like
The end of class i feed on that
If I cut a record, then I bleed on that
They want me underground but I'd rather
Keep my feet on that
Used to really play the background
Lookin' up to cats but couldn't tell
You where they're at now it's crazy
I don't know if they got lazy
Or they couldn't catch a break
Either way, I'm yellin'
"Pay me" 'cause you never know
Tryna stay ahead and shit
Must be doin' something right
Finally seeing benefit's
I think I could make some people relevant
But they're too busy tryna
Make their own room
They don't see the elephant
That's why I'm out here like the delegate
Tryna turn my boys to the ones
I get the cheddar with
That's why I'm out here like the delegate
That's why I'm out here like the delegate
That's why I'm out here like the delegate
Tryna turn my boys into the ones
I get the cheddar with
I think I've been tryna please
Everybody for way too long
Save the pleasantries
Sometimes I need the tough love, it's sincere
I don't need a lesson now
Tell me what I wanna hear
I been around the block
They don't get a cut, I work around the clock
Hear me on Sway for anything come off top
Money in, won't shake me down
I ain't make money then, it won't make me now
Soon as peers can't relate
Then they break me down
I swear they hate me and only
'cause they ain't me now
My fuse got shorter, skin got thinner
I got fuel for the fire, baby
'bout to be a hot winter
Big biz tryna eat and I'm not dinner
I got a lot on my plate
And you boys chop liver i'm a hot spitter
Ask about me at the hospital
I'm surgical with the flow, boy
I'm Doc Rivers
Ain't no middle ground these days
You either wit' us or you're not wit' us
They make it so hard
They love to tell you "dream big"
'til you take it too far
They can tell you what you're doin' wrong
But could never do it like you
If they can't put a label on ya
Ain't no tellin' what you might do
Made a lotta changes, I had to do it
Difference between me and them is I can see
The wall before I crash into it
I saw the country this year, twice
Some people missin'
I gave some people a hint
I guess we'll see who listen
Crazy when your dream is right
In front of you

To me it's nothin' new when did we get here

When I make I won't have to say it
When I really make it I won't have to say it
When I make it I won't have to say it
I don't wanna have to say it
