Yeah, the city still talks when I pull up, ain't no denying
Mississauga plates, you know where I'm residing
Used to be ramen nights, now it's pasta with truffles
Still checkin' the cameras, avoiding any scuffles
They see the Patek shine, the Wraith parked outside
Don't see the late nights, the times I nearly died
Figuratively, of course, the pressure's a real thing
Trying to keep my peace, while the accolades still sing.
Used to look at the ceiling, thinking 'bout the next move
Now I just look at the sky, still got so much to prove.
(Pre-Chorus)
Used to pray for these moments, now they’re just another Wednesday
Another private jet, another city, tryna find my true way
Pressure building, they’re watching every move that I make
One false step, one slip, and the narrative can break.
(Chorus)
I'm out here, still die trying, just like the first day
When nobody knew my name, and I was just trying to pave my way
Yeah, die trying, even when the money piles up high
'Cause the hunger ain't gone, ain't no telling me why
I gotta keep pushing, gotta keep the fire lit inside
This ain't just a dream, this is where the real ones reside.
(Verse 2)
They call it success, but I still feel like I'm hunting sometimes
Paranoia creeping, reading between all their weak lines
Who's really solid? Who's just here for the free pours?
The higher you climb, the more they knock on your doors.
Every lyric a memo, every b**t a confession
Still haunted by the come-up, the lessons, the transgression
Trying to outrun the whispers, the fakes, and the snakes
But some bonds run deep, no matter what it takes.
Heard they talking slick, hoping I trip on my own two
But the OVO owl's always watching, what you gonna do?
(Pre-Chorus)
Used to pray for these moments, now they’re just another Wednesday
Another private jet, another city, tryna find my true way
Pressure building, they’re watching every move that I make
One false step, one slip, and the narrative can break.
(Chorus)
I'm out here, still die trying
