Saint Story Lyrics

I met an old man, and he told me a story

Bout a young boy that done came way before me

Chasing the clouds for a glimpse of the glory

Made to the top where the eagles were soaring

One day, he chose to look down at the pavement

Realized the diamonds, the VVs won't save him

So he jumped out when the water was raining

So boy be careful of what you been praying

He said, "The voices that drive you insane

The same ones that's rotting inside of his brain"

I told him, "Just stop, like the fuck is you saying?"

He turned away, said, "Isn't it strange?

The things that we do just to get through the day

But won't even stop just to look at reflections"

All of them nights that I walked through the rain

Looked at the stars, and I saw a direction

These my confessions

I was just down real bad, was tryna learn all my lessons

Tryna stay low and count my blessings

Now they bring bottles to our section

Say that I changed, but I been the same

Gold in my chains, and gold in my veins

If I went back, would I do it again?

Seems every day is the start of the end

I met an old man, and he told me a story

Bout a young boy that done came way before me

Chasing the clouds for a glimpse of the glory

Made to the top where the eagles were soaring

One day, he chose to look down at the pavement

Realized the diamonds, the VVs won't save him

So he jumped out when the water was raining

So boy be careful of what you been praying (Praying yeah)

But I wanna make it

I want the diamonds, the VVs, and all of the shit he was saying

And I been playing too much, I been taking too much

So I hope that my soul is worth saving

You might be down, but one day you'll be soaring

Hope if you listen, you feel like you know me

Hope if you know me, you won't feel so lonely

Pray to the lord, this the start of the story

Listen, we throwing it back

Lil' dude in the back of the class

Dreaming of Cadillacs

Week of no sleep, and he boutta crash

Keep it lowkey, 'cause he wears a mask, uh

Always be feeling alone

Sometimes it gets so exhausting, yeah

Out, should he go?

Voices, they all in his dome

Tell me I gotta, yeah

You know I gotta, yeah

Hunnits on me, they falling yeah

Bitches on me, stay wilding yeah

Hunnit degrees, I'm balling, yeah I'm balling

Cartier shades, and I pay with my pen

And I see my face, straight through these lens

He in the back, and he raising his hand

Okay one time, I'mma say it again

I met an old man, and he told me a story

Bout a young boy that done came way before me

Chasing the clouds for a glimpse of the glory

Made to the top where the eagles were soaring

One day, he chose to look down at the pavement

Realized the diamonds, the VVs won't save him

So he jumped out when the water was raining

So boy be careful of what you been praying (Praying yeah)

But I wanna make it

I want the diamonds, the VVs, and all of the shit he was saying

And I been playing too much, I been taking too much

So I hope that my soul is worth saving

You might be down, but one day you'll be soaring

Hope if you listen, you feel like you know me

Hope if you know me, you won't feel so lonely

Pray to the lord, this the start of the story

But I wanna make it

I want the diamonds, the VVs, and all of the shit he was saying

And I been playing too much, I been taking too much

So I hope that my soul is worth saving

You might be down, but one day you'll be soaring

Hope if you listen, you feel like you know me

Hope if you know me, you won't feel so lonely

Pray to the lord, this the start of the story

Well folks, we're on our way home

Someday you'll return

Nobody here says goodbye
