Thinking outloud


Everything they said I wouldn't /couldn't have, bet I go get that! Anything that I might've lost just watch God work and level me up to much better when I get it back.
Grinding day and night just to keep a little stash.
And silly me sad and upset like I wish they would toss it all in the trash.
Heart been made of gold but alot of be quick to anger me
God told me to chill bc that's exactly what they wanna see.
quick wiped up my face bc by God's Grace ik i'm straight.
Crazy how ppl will talk down and do you but f*ck it bc it's never directly to my face!
And know that I look out for the ones who kept it g
One day i'll get to kick back and watch myself streaming live on the tv......
& nah you see w/me it's never about the glitz, golds, or the glam
Just crazy how shit go nobody much to call on unless we close like the fam.
But weak i've never been and Idrc to ask for much
But it's all grits and gravy
So yes I simmer down the fuss
Bc later when you see me living better, just know I worked hard and it was kinda tough
But God said that i'm a diamond that still glistens from all the dust.
