Lil Tjay
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Can't change, I remember what I've been through
So when I spit, no need for pencils
Traumatized, shit be fuckin' with my mental
Done seen some shit I can't get into
I'm just tryna be somebody influential
A lot of souls I could vent to
My success is not something coincidental
And if you feel like I'm shittin', it's accidental
I was locked down, locked down, almost lost it
Brodie locked down, told him "Fight, don't you forfeit"
Sometimes we just do some stupid shit when we be off it
I done see too many niggas die, so I'm precautious
Thinkin' 'bout them flashbacks really get me nauseous
This is what this comes with, playin' with them bosses
Could have caught a hammer charge, the other day, I tossed it
Worry 'bout my freedom, every day got me exhausted
I gave niggas trust, real love, and they crossed it
Tried to keep you around, I brushed it off, it's like I forced it
Mad that you can't be me, I be drippin' different sauces
Glad I started winning, tired of takin' all these losses, losses
Losses, losses, all these goddamn losses
Tired of takin' all these goddamn losses
Can't change, I remember what I've been through
So when I spit, no need for pencils
Traumatized, shit be fucking with my mental
Done seen some shit I can't get into
I'm just tryna be somebody influential
A lot of souls I could vent to
My success is not something coincidental
And if you feel like I'm shittin', it's accidental
Big glow, lookin' back, I came a long way
I still be reminiscing moments from my dog days
That's why I stay away from niggas in they slug ways
I can't handle no bad vibes, they exhaust me
Lotta niggas in they Birkin, they be salty
Niggas heavy on my body, get 'em off me
New ice, see it's shinin', it's flossy
'Bout to cop a new whip, mine and it's costly
Had a dream to make it out, it wasn't simple (make it out)
Niggas don't know what I went through (no, no)
Self taught, had to learn the fundamentals ('mentals)
I ain't tryna be resentful (no)
I was layin' lowkey, but I'm meant to
'Cause everybody sojudgmental
If you want it, run and get it, fuck a gentle
Let that hunger deep inside represent you
Can't change, I remember what I've been through
So when I spit, no need for pencils
Traumatized, shit be fucking with my mental
Done seen some shit I can't get into
I'm just tryna be somebody influential
A lot of souls I could vent to
My success is not something coincidental
And if you feel like I'm shittin', it's accidental
I was locked down, locked down, almost lost it
Brodie locked down, told him "Fight, don't you forfeit"

This standalone single from the Bronx rapper was produced by Woodpecker. The track was released on October 30, 2020.
What the artist means Lil Tjay is out to prove that he's not just a flash in the pan, he's crooning about all the sad things that he's been through and he's not even fronting on this track. He's detailing all the evil things he saw in the hood, like guys getting shot, getting killed and so many sad losses. He's tired of taking all these loses and that's why he's not even chilling in going super hard in the rap game. He's riding this beat so effortlessly and he's letting all the listeners know that his come up was never so simple. He lets us know that he's never going to change because he knows what he's been through. He closes the song by reechoing the running theme as the beat calmly plays out and fades away.
What the song means to me This song was created by one of the best new spitters in the rap game and one of the last exponents of the much appreciated emotional subgenre. He's revealing so much on this track; I fell in love with it from the first note till the last bar. He's flowing between singing and rapping so effortlessly and it's super refreshing seeing a new-gen rapper make a bubbling hit without a big name feature. The track gives me so much hope in better times because if Lil Tjay can make it out, I sure can too! I will give this song a rating of 9/10.
