Swish Reezy - Progressing / Staying Behind Lyrics

Ayo
Ayo
No matter what happens, remember to
Always strive to prosper
No matter what It may seem
Let's keep trying, progressing
So anyway my life has been the same
Nuns changed, but my life's been rocky like a mountain range
Progressing through the game tryin' not to make mistakes
My logic tells me I could move past these growing pains
Rearranged and took all the bullshit out my life
Every step I take is an uphill battle, morning hike
Reaching the peak of my career is harder than I would like
Trapped inside a tunnel, but the light was inside
But truthfully sometimes it's so hard to keep going
People who live in glass houses and stones they be throwing
Elbowing the easy-going, tryna make it to the top
Taking shortcuts, not caring about the music they drop
Well It's not just the rap game I'm tryna advance in
These hard times don't get easier the timin'
I'm almighty pushing through these painful situations
Hopefully one day you'll see the picture I was paintin' - Picaso
No matter what happens, remember to
Always strive to prosper
No matter what It may seem
Let's keep trying, progressing
No matter what happens, remember to
Always strive to prosper
No matter what It may seem
Let's keep trying, progressing
Oh, oh, oh, oh
These times in changing
I can't just recline
Am I progressing, or staying behind
You know it, you feel it
It happens to us all the time
You know it, you feel it
That's when you know you're staying behind
I been around for years looking for parkin'
It had me like finishing touches without startin'
Tried to put in all this work without even clocking in
Tryna follow the straight line of life but ended up spiralin'
I've always aspired to be one of the greats
But as soon as you get your flavor, everyone wanna go and have a taste
As soon as I came into my own, sour grapes were shown
Had haters tried to fill in my place like silicon
I used to dream every night, now I bearly dream at all
These situations seem to get harder as time goes on
Haters undermind my value, they lowballing me
I ain't tryna to act hard I'm just tryna act me
No matter what I just know I have to persevere
If I don't believe in myself then tell me who the f*ck will
I have to get off this lounger, man I can't just recline
I'ma lead this generation, f*ck staying behind, Ima run it
You know it, you feel it
It happens to us all the time
You know it, you feel it
That's when you know you're staying behind
You know it, you feel it
It happens to us all the time
You know it, you feel it
That's when you know you're staying behind
You know it, know it, know it, you feel it, feel it, feel it
That's when you know you're stay - stay behind
You know it, know it, know it, you feel it, feel it, feel it
That's when you know you're stay - stay behind
