Finding Self lyrics

[Intro]
Ayy, man, turn that up

[Pre-Chorus]
Once upon a time not too long ago, I had to find myself
Blind lead the blind almost half the time, I had to guide myself
I was down on love, luck, hope and everything, I had to supply myself
I don't dwell on failed relationships no more, I had to find myself

[Chorus]
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long ago, I had to find myself

[Verse 1]
Lately, a n*gga been lacking (Uh)
My wins feeling like defeat (Yeah)
n*ggas being hella passive (Uh)
I be chillin', I'm discreet (Yeah)
I been wishin' upon a star and sh*t
Holding on to who I am (Yeah)
How did I make it this far and sh*t?
I ain't have no other plans (Yeah)
All I had was the faith in me, n*ggas don't pray for me
All this sh*t fake to me
People be coming and going, I stay out the way 'cause that sh*t just feel safe to me
Woah, woah, hold, swole
Make sure you doing this sh*t for yourself
I keep it real 'cause the love being felt
Platinum-platinum I got plaques on the shelf
Platinum-platinum, ooh, I'm feeling myself
Platinum-platinum, turned my n*ggas to stone
Platinum-platinum, I just wanna go home
Platinum-platinum, got me sittin on chrome
Platinum-platinum, I'm just takin' a chance
Platinum-platinum, another chapter begins
Platinum-platinum, where the f*ck I go wrong?
Platinum-platinum, I been here for too long
[Chorus]
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long ago, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long ago, I had to find myself

[Verse 2]
Some days I just wish I was strong, I put all myself in these songs
Pour up some liquor, I pour out my demons
I look in the mirror, can no longer see me
Look to my left and some kid wanna be me
So what am I really and who really feel me?
I just want love but the love almost killed me
Pour out my feelings but who gon' refill me?
Sorry, I'm speaking my truth but f*ck how you feeling, I'm chillin', I'm tryna get back to my roots
I'm tryna just get back to Lute but rap money bought me a coupe
So I just ran off on the plug again
I do not need no gold bezel to capitalize on my following
I do not f*ck with this rap sh*t 'ause I do not f*ck with the politics
n*ggas be jealous 'cause I am the one that she swallowing
I am that n*gga in my city and also in your metropolitan
I cannot take what you offering, n*ggas be dweebs
I take a pass if it ain't what I need
sh*t getting deep so I roll up the sleeves
Take a step back so I just let it breathe
f*ck all that bullsh*t, I just let it be
f*ck all that bullsh*t, I get back to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Once upon a time not too long ago, I had to find myself
Blind lead the blind almost half the time, I had to guide myself
I was down on love, luck, hope and everything, I had to supply myself
I don't dwell on failed relationships no more, I had to find myself

[Chorus]
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long ago, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long ago, I had to find myself
