Metanoia ft. Lil Gwee Gwee Lyrics

Jealousy of everyone around me

constantly search for the next thing

Wanna be at the top where they all are

Lookin up at the moon and all the stars

Wish I was a rapper who already has success and I'm

Praying I'll have money and I'll have multiple checks

And I know once I get to their level I'll miss the struggle and the stress

Nonetheless, all I want in rap is respect

Admire people who already are respected

And despise those who disrespect and don't wanna work for it

Miss the point so they're just rapping for the money and the check

Spit a verse, send it, use the money for their neck

They say 'Oh you the next insert rapper here'

Nah, first of my kind, but I'm still on level with my peers

All I want is cheers, good fans and good connections

Hungry to come up, don't want any other profession

People say celebs shouldn't be in that position

'I could do that too' but they don't put the work in

What they don't see is the work behind the scenes

Hours writing, revising, there's hours to these beats

You're jealous of everyone around you

And you'll always be searchin' for the next thing

Won't see you at the top where they all are, nah

You'll be at the bottom wishing you were born a star

You're jealous of everyone around you

And you'll always be searchin' for the next thing

Won't see you at the top where they all are, nah

You'll be at the bottom wishing you were born a star

Came in the game, just to tame all the pain

Made from these rappers with no brains saying the same thing

Wish I had it easy like they do, talkin' like that

Flat bars, bar bite, focus on the future don't repeat the past

All of them buyin' properties since monopoly

While they've never seen their own prodigy

Mockery of art, no lyricism, my philosophy

The things they say all faker then astrology

Can't rap like them cause it's not true to me

Cause if I rapped about shootin' they would disagree

Have to dig deep to express my thoughts and feelings

Ask what to do out of school rapping through the ceiling

Inspire those who listen, but honestly feelin nervous

Don't care about no listens but at least it'll be good music

Making what I like styles influence I borrow

Wanna be looked up too like Mac, or Jack Harlow

You're jealous of everyone around you

And you'll always be searchin' for the next thing

Won't see you at the top where they all are, nah

You'll be at the bottom wishing you were born a star

You're jealous of everyone around you

And you'll always be searchin' for the next thing

Won't see you at the top where they all are, nah

You'll be at the bottom wishing you were born a star

Realest thing I'm jealous for is people with a father

Missed out on a good one and I really wish we had gotten closer

If you have one, lucky, make sure you spend your time

Even if it's somethin' stupid, time with him you can't deny

Mine had good style so that's where I get it from

Simple purple logo on a black t shirt on him

Always had shorts, tattoos and a good work ethic

Passed to me taught to work hard for success

Think my brother and me carry down his legacy

Stay true to me, but I know he's lookin down at me

Proud of us well see him soon I guarantee

I'll find him another day once again well meet

Doin' good now but before I was really hurtin'

As much as I wish he was here I'm grateful I had met him

The death of my father wasn't the end it was a blessing

Cause havin' an angels better then any weapon
