Letters From Otis St Lyrics

Workin' through the week so it's hard to tell when the weekend

Life is like the ocean, I dove fast and now I'm deep in

I'm not here around often I'm just for the seasons

They ask me if I'm used to the changes, I say it depends

Started off at Otis Visions, nobody believed in

Main Ave stoops, where we used to spend our evenings

Lotta things I'm earnin, I'm just tryna learn the meanings

To leave things up in my thoughts, or in these feelings

And it's hard for me to pay you back

All the nights I needed to talk, you listened and had my back

All the times you kept me in check, the lecture keep me intact

Love that I had for the music, you helped discover that

Even when you not around, your name, I stay protectin' that

I regret I never called you on the flight, my luggage packed

Me and Krizzy made a band from the show and we doubled that

My circle always stays attached

Soul is up in jeopardy, I almost gave a trade-off

Couple obligations I ain't pay off

You tell me that I'm always workin' and I gotta go and take some days off

But nobody win in the finals without the playoffs

So practice till it's perfect, and for that the music paid off

Now I'm buying out the contracts, having bosses laid off

These lifelong bonds that can never go and fade off

A minute since we spoke, I hope your aspirations take off

From time I know, we drift apart

From the start

And that's okay

Pouring up rosé

I'm on my way

Here to stay

Goin' round town, finding my way back home

Know me as a nobody, now I'm so grown

I'm still around, just up the road

Had to do some things that turn me cold

Yeah, I've been the person that they told me that I couldn't be

A couple years ago, I would've swore this life is make-believe

My niggas made it from the bottom up into the major leagues

Came up from the school and now I made it to something

I remember all the times they hated, said we was nothing

Now I'm bringing up the goats, I'm at the top of discussion, for real

I've shown niggas that I'm top one, not no top five cause I've been topping it

Late nights, I've been locked in it

And I pray at night, my life's sinning

And maybe dawg, that's my fault that I keep winning

And maybe dawg, that's my fault that I see people when they pretending

I'm sending shots without precision

I dropped the tape, I had some ex listen

Did that, I got blocked and now I fill the void

You know I've been missing, yeah

Doing that just for a while now, yeah

I've been driving this for miles now

Go ahead and bring my guard up, they take it tops off

If I ever let my top down, oh of course, like

Nah, I'm thankful for this

All the days where niggas used to not get paid for this shit

And nowadays, minimum wages to pay for this shit

Moncleezy when it's chilly just to cover the kid

I traveled all around, down the south, up to the 6ix

Overtime work, my niggas always take em in shifts

The lawn is always getting mowed, there's plenty snakes in the mix

Used to wish I got it like that till I got it like this, yeah

Lotta niggas just wanna know what it comes from

More money, more problems come running

Music keep bumping and I keep stunting, yeah

Any sneak diss, I don't miss

Trust me, we always finding the bottom of it

It's therapeutic when I'm writing verses

Writing down the confrontations that I wish I could've had

If these people can go see me in person, yeah

We've been going on for quite a long

Far-fetched goals that people left and you still stayed along

Scared to play my music, now you tell me all about how I coupled em

Now you play em as your favorite songs

I say that shit with my chest

I'm only chasing after vibes, I'm done with being the best

I got my stripes from the game and I'm receiving the checks

From the playground, the reason I can't settle for less, for real

Thank you

And that's okay

Pouring up rosé

I'm on my way

Yo, Lex, it's Krizzy hit me back when you get the chance

I'm at the function, you already know, there's bare tings here

Bare promoters and they all asking for you, bro

Slide through to the party, we gon' get you Hurd
