OSCAR SPEECH Lyrics

Adolescence had to learn my lesson

First to doubt, always second guessing

Three times tried to get attention

I know God is listening, hope he gets my message

Rejection turned into my best friend

Every no's a redirection

I guess that's why I'm always lost

Cuz I keep turning every single second

The pressure turned into depression

I know I don't wanna leave

But here the reason I be stressing

Holy God I'm on my knees

I'm asking for your love and strength and

I wonder what the talk will be

When my name get mentioned

Maybe

Maybe should've settled down

With a set of brown eyes, have some babies

Maybe should've skipped town

When I figured out, it ain't what it may seem

Maybe should've stuck around in my hometown

That'd be amazing

(Que haces tu aqui?)

Maybe, maybe I fantasized

All the wrong guys who would end up crazy

Maybe should've realized it was all lies

Just a simple daydream

Yeah the family proud, but I want them prouder

Does that make me fucking crazy?

Yeah the family proud, but I want them prouder

Does that make me fucking crazy?

Guess that makes me crazy

Since no one gon' hear this

I can speak from my spirit

Yeah I talk my shit in these lyrics

But the man in the mirror I fear it

Fear I ain't taken serious

Seriously delirious

Tired with no plans to retire

Am I near it?

Nah I'm a stubborn ass

Hope yall understand, I still got my student loans

Bout a fucking hundred grand

Make it two, will I make it through?

I don't think you fools motherfucking understand

Is it much to ask for a fucking like

Or a fucking share or a fucking hand

I'm not Superman, I'm just super damned

Maybe I'm not built for this shit

Papa would've killed for this shit

So I gotta keep building this ship

Brick by brick, building this shit

Up until my fucking children get split

All the fucking royalties that they get

Sergie gon' be lucky that he right above me

They gon' call him "Nepo Baby"

That just means that I'm just doing something right

That's the meaning of this life

It ain't all about the trophies

It's the doors you open for your folks

Who's hoping in the next life

So fight up until you fucking can't no more

You either gonna be the one to give the Oscar speech

Or be the one that they thankful for

I'm gone
