Lyrics
Yea I got everything I could ever need
And I try to keep that in mind anytime I meet man tryna sell a dream
It ain’t no one telling me what to sing
And the people around me got better things
To do with they life
Than telling me what I should do in a rhyme
Instead of being with my family I was in Canada I was in Tokyo
I didn’t know before I learned as much as I love to perform at the show
It’s the people close I gotta show up for
Just lost a friend to an overdose
Make me question what I’m even sober for
Cause I used to think that I was scared to die but
I don’t even know no more
Look ma I made it it’s like we dreamed
Look ma I made it it’s make believe
Ya boy in LA in a fancy house and
My car don’t got a key
Some people I wanted to be proud of me
Ain’t walking this earth and that shatters me but
I learned to imagine things so I feel it when they looking after me
My heart used to be filled with jealousy for what others had amongst other things
And then when y’all sit in the same room you realize they ain’t what they seem

Look ma I made it it’s like we dreamed
Look ma I made it it’s make believe
Cause black boys on this side of town not supposed to be on the front page of the newspaper
For doing greater
I spent a lot of time wondering who’ll save us
It’s food on the table I’m grateful
I don’t give a fuck bout a label
Yea they put a mil on the table
But my granny really put meals on the table

Westside right on time
We can play make believe
Just like we did when we were 5
Save those looks for judgement time
Do what feels right
(Do what)

Compliments don’t get me high
Sometimes I get overwhelmed
And I feel I want to hide
Fall in love when you’re 45
For now,
Do what feels right
(Do what)

[Foushee verse]
