I’ve been praying for some better days
God damn, a nigga hope
(I hope he hear a nigga prayers,
Hope he hear a nigga prayers, yuh)
I’ve been all alone
On this road really don’t know where to go
(take a nigga hand & guide me
Save me, protect me, yuh)
I just wash away in the waves
Praying that I don’t drown slow
(Mumbles)
Gotta find a way
Gotta make a way out
Can’t live this way no more
Oh no, ohh
I been lost
For some time now
Truth is, You a bitch
& I never should of placed my trust in you
But fuck it
You live & you learn
I wonder if it’s true
That we all get what we deserve
Crash & you burn
Gotta know to re-coup
In a coup
Driving fast
Tryna run from your past
Hope you know that it’s all gonna catch up to you
One day
You said
Today
Might be my last day
So I cannot live with regrets
Gotta make this money
Both ways
Dirty & clean
All of the things that I’ve struggled with in my life
You could never try to judge me
So don’t ever talk bad bout me nigga
Worry bout yourself
Before you try to worry bout me
Look let me tell you something bout me
At least a nigga took a chance
Instead of sitting on my ass behind a screen
Talking shit about someone who tried
Nigga, I
Refuse to die broke
Been down my ass for too long
So I gotta take a risk
Gotta make this money flip
No dope fiend, Trampoline
In the backyard
Promise I'ma be a black star
Black Beatle
Motherfucker
HOV
Motherfucker that’s me
I’ve been praying for some better days
God damn, a nigga hope
(I hope he hear a nigga prayers,
Hope he hear a nigga prayers, yuh)
I’ve been all alone
On this road really don’t know where to go
(take a nigga hand & guide me
Save me, protect me, yuh)
I just wash away in the waves
Praying that I don’t drown slow
(Mumbles)
Gotta find a way
Gotta make a way out
Can’t live this way no more
Oh no, ohh
Moment of silence
......
That’s the best advice that I could of shared with you
Meaning, Think for yourself my nigga
Shit been hard for me too
But when life get hard
We don’t fold under pressure
This everything that you ever dreamed about
& you just gon give up
After all this if this time that you put in
Listen,
You win some
You'll lose some
Prove some
If you gon do something
Know you gon have to do a whole lot of crying
Before u make it this far
You gon have to put in about three thousand
Hours to push this car
Push to start
With the falcon doors
Driving so fast feel
Like I’m bout to take off
Y’all niggaz had y’all year
Now I’m taking off
Go , Y’all niggaz never want to show support
But it’s time to pull the cord
I been looking to the lord
Think I’m damned if I do
Damned if I don’t
Damn if things don’t change for me soon
Might not see tomorrow
This can’t be all that life has to offer
Cuz I ain’t even touch my first mill yet
When I get it
Might just say fuck everybody
Cuz bitch I stressed for this & I prayed for this &..
Bitchez they come & go
Knock em like dominoes
Nobody got my reach
They stand on they tippy toes
That's why they gotta go
They ain't got the vision like me
I focus I land on my feet
They can't seem to see what i see
They blindfolded, I been told ya
I'm finna make it, I pray jehova...

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
