Santo Dej - Nowadays/No Hook, Pt. 2 Lyrics

Ain't got much time before I go up so lets go up at it
So long I've been so underrated need to change my status
Let niggas know that I been wishing just to get a patek
They say I stay up on my music yea Im such an addict
I just been dreaming every night Im ballin like the Magic
I got these niggas they been faking so I call them plastic
Grew up not ever trust a soul thats just the way I plan it
Took lotta losses so I know just when I feel abandoned

All my life I just been trying hard to stay up on my toes
Remember nights when I was gassing hanging in the studio
Ain't my prime but when Im at it niggas gonna take my flow
Took forever what Im doing they wont ever really know
Had some trouble come my way I was not the one to show
Was so young with all my brothers had so much my life to go
Woke up screaming late at night thought I ain't gone make it home
They say if you got a dream you gotta do it on your own

Had my father always tell me it's the actions that gone make the man
Held it close to mind I might go and tat it by my hand
Gotta have a legacy and Imma take it by demand
Only trust myself told these people I don't need no friends

Once upon a time I was a youngan tryna chase a check
Nowadays Im on it spend this money then I make it back
Watch the day I blow up people think I got a fake patek
They been sleepin on me always thinking I wont catch a band

(I be zooming out)
Was some niggas had to let them go
(Ain't no fooling now)
Im gone work it hard and hit the road
(You cant take me down)
Ain't nobody finna tell me no
(I been working out)
Think Im bluffing I got much to show

Told my family on the phone soon we'll all be living large
I would rather die than to live where I wont be a star
Niggas tryna stop me cuz they know that I been working hard
Since I came alive I knew I was gonna make it far

Made a promise to my mama yea I know she love me
I cant help but cry inside every time she hug me
She the realest in my life that's on the God above me
I just hope she stay alive see what just becomes me

Im gone work my way up, I just gotta stay up
Let these niggas know that Im not ever gone be laid up
Im just staying on my grind then Im gone get paid up
Keeping strong I gotta rise ain't got time for wait-ups

All these thoughts was coming at me was in love with being faded
So much gas up in my head felt like I was meditating
Went thru way too many traumas yea thats how I been created
Was in classes writing lines thats how much Im dedicated

Now Im telling all these people how lil Santo is today
Last time I thought I died come to think it might been yesterday
Don't know how I am inside Im just tryna handle all my pain
First song was bout my past this is how I am just nowadays
