Shallow ft. Sxwry Lyrics

Really tried to tell yall that I'm built for this

Everybody sat there said they'd never talk that shit

But everybody switched right up and they always chose that side that I wasn't on so I had to fucking cry

Had to let all my pain out

Everybody listening to these songs

Hope y'all finally hear that shit, man I was never wrong

Tryna live my life day by day

Man, it wasn't right

Did that shit back to back

Look, I really had to fight

Take it out that fucking basement

Man, that hole was big I couldn't really climb out that shit

Look, I had to live every day down in that shit

Every day that I went by Look, I couldn't do that shit, man

I just got real high Smoking drugs back to back

Look, that's how it felt every day of my life

Ain't nobody really understand that I couldn't do it right

So I switched it right up Told y'all, look, I'm living my life

Once I make it out this shit Everybody gonna support me

Man, I never really told y'all how I really fucking felt

Back then in my past, everything just went to hell

Never really got to sit in that room with everybody

Every time I did, I just really felt real lonely

Now I sit at the top with some people that I really think are great

Those are people back then that I promised I wouldn't hate

Now I do it with them every day and I promise that we survive

Those are people that I promised I would never lie

Really tried to tell y'all that I'm built for this

Everybody sat there said they never talked that shit

But everybody switched right up and they always chose that side

That I wasn't on, so I had to fucking cry

Had to let all my pain out, everybody listening to these songs

Hope y'all finally hear that shit, man, I was never wrong

Trying to live my life day by day, man, it wasn't right

Did that shit back to back, look, I really had to fight

All of my walls be closing in every day, I just continue to pray

I am on my last day, I wanna give it up today

I won't let the system treat me like a slave

They can say what they want, but I'm not playing their games

Cause I'm not interested and I don't ever change

Only here to feed my family, I don't care about the fame

I've been through so much, yeah give me a break

Lord knows I done made some mistakes

Now im drinkin out the liquor bottle to control my pain, yeah

If only it were easy to save somebody like me, yeah

Cause I'm too shot down and I'm all out of luck

I'm looking for some help, but I don't know who to trust

Baby, every day I battle and I don't think that I'm strong enough

But I'll keep going until the sun comes up

I tried to tell everybody that I am built for this

Ever since I was a little kid

I had a dream, now I'm a dream big

I wanna get rich and that is my only wish, yeah

Look we gotta get rich, told my family I gotta do it quick

Ain't nobody really understand that shit, so I knew I had to spit

All my pain into the mic, knew everybody would just listen

Moment I made it to the top, everybody got real distant

But I don't really get it, everybody knows I did it

Really did this shit, back to back they know I beat them critics

Moment I started talking, everybody turned to crickets

Don't really understand that shit, so I really hope y'all know

That we going to the top, ain't nobody taking it from me

Did this shit for the team and I did it really for the family

Told them once we do it, lil' we really need to survive

Once we make it out that shit, everybody's gonna hide
