Lost Dreams

It’s lonely on the road to glory, few understand it
People ask more than give, taking you for granted
Niggas hoping you can tow their car with all their baggage
See you as an escalator to get money faster
I’m tryna build and you just building all this pressure on me
I’m tryna thrive and you keep throwing all your stresses on me
You pray a lot, but you ain’t saving any blessings for me
So relying on myself became the lesson for me
I try to share my wisdom but they quick to claim I’m preachy
They see fruits of my labor and think things were always peachy
When they need a favor is the only timе they seek me
When thеy get the favor is the only time they leave me
‘Stead of trying be great, they just try to be me
They feel slighted when they drop and I forget to retweet
Got a lot going on it ain’t personal
Wish you all the best even though your thoughts ain’t merciful

All my failures are my watershed moments
They question the results but they can’t doubt the devotion
I tried to get you on the wave, the boat was overflowing
I failed to steer your right and for that I need atoning
All my failures are my watershed moments
They question how I do it but they can’t doubt the emotion
I’m praying that my winnings are the fire for your motive
And if not then it’s life and that’s the path that you have chosen

I had a dream we would make it all together
But when times got hard, you just softened all your efforts
Work became more seldom in the hype you were enveloped
And the vision that we shared became blind to your perspective
I can’t want this shit for you, that ain’t how it works
You gotta give more than your best to make it through the worst
You gave your dreams the Usher Raymond, you just let it burn
And my confession is I’m guilty I ain’t help you learn
I mean I tried but it ain’t get though
You ain’t gonna fly just because I’m standing to next you
Go out on your own and work daily like the rent due
Life is never patient ‘round the corner is where death looms
Gotta get it now, I just pray you find your way
When the road is Rocky, is the time that you can’t cave
My dreams are bigger than the city, I can’t stay
If not regret will be the only meal I crave

All my failures are my watershed moments
They question the results but they can’t doubt the devotion
I tried to get you on the wave, the boat was overflowing
I failed to steer your right and for that I need atoning
All my failures are my watershed moments
They question how I do it but they can’t doubt the emotion
I’m praying that my winnings are the fire for your motive
And if not then it’s life and that’s the path that you have chosen
