Joel Bleu - Stay Ahead (feat. Wlf. St & I Am Rain)

I know you hear me
It is getting scary
Word to bloody Mary
I've been on a ferry smoking weed
I've been seeing fairies
I've been going all across the world
Just chilling with the bros
Take a puff and another puff
That's that give and go
Oh, you got some bad news
I don't even want to know
I don't want to have that bad energy
Right before a show
I'm a better man, I've been writing down
All my goals
I just learned how to control my mind
And that's a case closed
Oh, you gotta live your life
Yeah brother I know that
Prepare for blow backs
Yeah, baby, that is all facts
Life's a rollercoaster
I been burning bread just like a toaster
Losing my composure
I just fall... like it is October
How can I not see that I'm the man
When I'm on every poster
Couple steps to my happiness, I am getting closer
Brother said that I'm gon' die
From drinking all those Arizonas
But... he gon' fly away if he stay on that marijuana
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay, yeah
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay, yeah
We just tryna stay
We just tryna, uh uh
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay, yeah
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay, yeah
We just tryna stay
And we just tryna stay
4:30 In the afternoon
I'm post up in my mom room
See I'm tryna break ties in life
I'm even tryna write
And then my boys tell me come through
So I hop on the bike and ride
Ain't got a car a drive
And so I gotta take the damn train
Now a nigga almost slip and slide
And yeah I'm still alive
But yo, I fucked up my bike chain
As if I ain't got enough stress
I been facing the d'evils up in my cathedral
Got a call from my girl
Tryna give her the world
But she said, nigga I don't even need you
When I hopped off the train
Seen a pic of a man who was slain
And I felt like it's see through
Cause I feel like we losing too many of our niggas
And fuck, now pen ink is bleeding through
So I got this stain on my shirt
Metaphor for my pain and my hurt
Maybe I should go back to my Church
But I got to their crib, I'm sunburnt
Cause it fucking like 90's degrees
And I can't even sneeze out a verse
For my damn life
And these niggas is smoking their trees
And they up to their knees in pool full free-writes
So I feel like I'm wasting my time at my job
And I feel like I'm doing the same here
Yeah I'm watching them rap and I sit back and clap
But I think why the fuck did I come here
So I gather my bags
And I reach out and grab for my phone
Lemme give this shit a last a try
Then I pick up a groove
And this shit sounding smooth in the booth
Then muhfuckin' phone died
Goddamn
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay, yeah
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay, yeah
We just tryna stay
We just tryna, uh uh
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay, yeah
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay, yeah
We just tryna stay
And we just tryna stay
Underrated, underpaid
Undefeated, undisputed
When it come to music, yeah
Unrelated to the wave
I been dropping knowledge
But my people never use it, yeah
Shit they cooking up is off key
I guess they don’t know that they can tune it
Uh, dropping classics and they all sleep
Get a chance to wake up and they all snooze it
I been working all fucking week, yeah
Payday is like a birthday cake, uh
But my bills all want a piece, shit
I just wanna buy some sneaks, uh
I just heard they dropping the new 1's, but
I might have to miss this release, yo
Why is everybody is this rat race
Fascinated by cheese, so they act ways
That’ll keep us all stuck inside of this rat cage
Like Bruce Wayne in the bat cave, uh
Surrounded by my worst nightmare
Like a badass, ay
Being real with pain
Took a nigga out a bad place, uh
Had to take a break for my own good, yeah
Moved again so it’s hard to rep the old hood
The meal that God got for me
Gotta be a slow cook, uh
They still do bad if they know good, uh
Tried to start fresh but it seems that they no good
If I give a pass then it gotta be a no look, uh
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay, yeah
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay, yeah
We just tryna stay
We just tryna, uh uh
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay, yeah
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay
We just tryna stay ahead
We just tryna stay, yeah
We just tryna stay
And we just tryna stay
