Phora - To The Grave lyrics
[Phora - To The Grave lyrics]
So many people dependin' on me
I ain't got no time to relax
I ain't got time for the bullshit
I ain't got time for the past
I ain't got shit for none of you people that
Come up to me with your hands out
The reasons that you see the work
'cause the plot was perfectly planned out
Nobody thought that I'd get here
Just put two more plaques on the wall
I always knew that I'd be here
They always prayed I would fall
They always prayed I ain't make it
Now they all wanna be involved
They shut me out, they push me away
But now I'm the person they call
Rich enough to buy a couple boats
Ridin' through the city in a Ghost
Lot of people see me as the GOAT
But, I'm just grateful they
Can feel these quotes 2022, I lost hope
But writtin' music helped me stay afloat
It's probably fifteen millions in my notes
And that's the realest shit I ever wrote
Look
I prayed that my momma see brighter days
I told her, "I won't throw my life away"
Now I feel like ocean and tidal wave
Came a long way from top ramen in microwave
Came a long way from not havin' shit
From sleepin' off floors
Ain't got mattresses
Single mom raised me, it took a toll on her
Wish I could pay for the damages
If money can't fix everything
Just know I got you on anything
She knows my love for her is unconditional
She know I got her by any means
Focused on family, focused on music
I'm focused on buildin' a legacy
Focused on gettin' myself right with God
Knowin' all I been through, he protected me
Saw the drugs kill my dawg slowly
Watched the ones I love forget they know me
Tryin' not to let that shit break me
Tryin' not to let the pain control me
Know I be in Texas like Ginobili, Chi Town
Eatin' rigatoni
California where my heart stays, I lost
A piece when we lost Kobe, damn
Pray to God for protection
I don't really need a weapon
Came a long way from the '03 Camry
Used to dream of Benzes
Now they love me out in London town and
I know they love me out in Texas
Then I learned that the most important thing
Is people love and respect us
Some want the money and some want the fame
Some want the diamonds all over they chain
Me, I just wanna fly away to the stars and
Write a few songs so they remember my name
Say what I mean and mean what I say
I'm grateful for life
There's nothin' I'd change
Only thing left is to spend all this money
We all know you can't take
That shit to the grave
Pull me down, try and break me slowly
Show me fake love, nobody knows me
Take my heart out, they can't control me
I put God first, my spirit's holy, yeah
Nobody knows, they don't know
They don't know what I go through
Nobody knows
I got scars and I'm broken just like you
And in the end
Who's down for me? Who's down?
And in the end, who's there when I fall down?
Ooh ooh, oh, fall down
Ooh ooh, oh, fall down
