Shep - 10TH GRADE JORDAN Lyrics

Self Esteem been tanking
I ain't been loving myself lately When I'm low on confidence, I force myself
To fake it Do daily affirmations to myself that I'm the
Greatest I know I'm probably not, but I don't care
I'm still gon' say it, ayy Sometime I stay up late, I wonder if they'll
Ever notice I only think about that type of shit when
I ain't focused And they be talking crazy bout us, they don't
Even know us But once they saw they couldn't hoe us, they
Tried to bro us If you don't know me and don't like me, just
Don't f*ck with me Cause everybody in my circle know what's up
With me Role model, all the kids be showing love to
Me Shorter than my lil' homies, but they still
Look up to me I just cut some friends off, but they still
Got my blessings I ain't thinking I'm too good, don't get the
Wrong impression But your lifestyle don't match me and the
Place I'm headed I'd rather walk alone than walk with y'all
In the wrong direction City the city, Syracuse is where I'm living
Now I'm just trying different shit till I get
This figured out Just got my bank account back to a big amount Might go buy a house, fix it up and rent it
Out Young black teacher, coworkers be thinking
Who is he Asking me questions bout my life, knowing they
Googled me And I got people making rumors tryna ruin
Me I thought they love you when you make it, this
Confusing me Used to throw us middle fingers, now they
Handshaking They be tryna ride the wave when you elevating
So they can say they know you if you make it
Used to hate me like I'm Chris, but now they love me like I'm
Raymond I had to move like that so I could play like
This Used to take what I could get, now I can make my pick
I was going broke, buying stupid shit like a kid
Learned my lesson, bounced back and I ain't been broke since
Ayy, gotta stand up for myself and I stand on business
Even if that mean I gotta burn some bridges I be tryna show love, but don't get it twisted
Cause I'll really slap the shit out one of y'all niggas
Steven sold drugs, but he told me to go to college
And it hurt me that he died before he saw what I accomplished
Did everything he said I could, I know he looking smiling
Your son like my lil brother, don't worry bout nothing because I got him
Ayy, he started walking in your shoes, but now he doing right
We spend hours on the phone, I just give him advice
He said he wish that he was me, I said we just alike
Same story, we just on different chapters in life
Ayy, that's just the way it go
But if he saw how far I came, I know I gave him hope
My circle's small and that's a cliche, but I promise it get tricky
And I'm picky about who I spend my time with
Cause people fake and they be wanting what you got
And if everybody asking for a little, that's a lot
When you lit, everybody gon' get jealous of your spot
It's too high for them to get up there, it's lonely at the top
Ayy, don't got no label, use my 9 to 5 to fund this
I ain't worried bout no budget, scared money ain't gon' cut it
I don't do this shit for no money, nah do this shit cause I love it
I be spending money like f*ck it, chasing bucks like I'm hunting
Ayy, I'm the underdog and I got big dreams
Put my words into action, I'm doing big things
I'm the Jordan of this shit, I want like six rings
Right now I'm Jordan when they cut off from the team
Ayy, just let that ride real quick
Ayy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the underdog and I got big dreams
Put my words into action, I'm doing big things
I'm the Jordan of this shit, I want like six rings
Right now I'm Jordan when they cut off from the team
Ayy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
