Honestly, Grayson Lyrics

I'm not at my peak yet, just enjoying the climb

Trust I'll see the summit, all in due time

I've seen what the mountain air does to the mind

Makes me feel like I can't ever rest (Everest), I'm up too high

I don't need socials to be a trending topic

Ice cream of the crop, but my road rocky

Trials by fire, on burning coals I'm walking

So naturally they asking why my stance won't soften

Stand on what I speak and speak on where I stand

To see eye to eye requires no upper hand

And to walk hand in hand requires a walking path

No stature too small to be the bigger man

Never bought into the hype or the fantasy life

The biggest stars are often the fastest to lose their light

Not to mention the perception that affects their size

The closest victory is rarely the biggest prize

In our society we're taught it's wrong to lose

I'm all for competition, but I'm not always enthused

The lessons learned from failing tend to be the truest

Plus, for me to win, you don't always have to lose

I know it doesn't fit in the rapper's image

But it's true that to be great, you have to be different

Tom Cruise control, while I'm on impossible missions

To be an artist, not a rapper, it's a contradiction

To be a legend is a legendary aspiration

Tryna make the leap (Lipa) into the sky and do a (Dua) Levitation

I'll Hussle til my opportunity meets preparation

If I could, I'd be indebted to my dedication

It's already apparent, I owe it all to my parents

Born a Prince, so it's into the Purple Rain I'm staring

I'll never love another more than my blood brother

Before (4) I ever saw Vegas, they called me young Stunna

Cold to the touch with the warmest of love

Used to the lust, still new to the trust

Just on the cusp of the greatest of dubs

I'm on fire, ashes to ashes and dust to dust

Burning in my mind an image of a holy space

I watched my childhood home meet an untimely fate

A week ago the ashes were just a lyric to say

Then my entire neighborhood was lost in the blaze

24 hours, a thousand houses

Then the snow covered the rubble in white blouses

Funny what a difference that a day makes

Laughing through the pain until the daybreak

Lost in the lights, they blind you in the spot

Is it harder to have or to have not?

I want the life of the bank robber who was never caught

A solution to every groupie, a stop to every plot

Looked in her eyes, I believed every lie

Windows to the soul until you close the blinds

Funny how the foreplay defeats the foresight

Birthday sex, but we'd rather not have more life

Know these women are the arrow to my Achilles heel

I run at My(ah) own Pace, and in time all wounds heal

Playing defense on my heart while they go for the steal

Somehow I never get tired of reinventing wheels

Forgot to give her back her lashes and her pearls

Least I remember saying sorry that I hurt you

Though I recruited you I never could commit

I lied to you and to myself I will admit

I've never had commitment issues, it was just a line

I just can't commit unless every doubt out of mind

Cuz out of sight just means waiting to be revealed

One too many times I've seen that movie reel

Broken hearts inside just intertwined with open minds

The product of a lot of flawed people, so am I

Face down in the bed is when I'm prone to lie

I can't win every battle, but imma always try

It don't cost a dollar to be real, I promise

But the price of honesty is higher than I want it

So it might hurt your feelings, telling all this

But I made a resolution to be honest
