Sandman - Obsession

Copied!

{hook}
Tryna put it all together
But you takin my swag
Got me pulling back the curtain
On some things i never had

Last time i really rested, guess it’s been a minute
It’s a marathon, so why am i just always sprinting?
Expectations i surpassed, got me humble grinning
Got a borderline obsession with the thought of winning

{verse 1}
Gotta lotta expectations, views of greatness
But i cannot see my laces, where i’m stationed
Let go of the side, live for the ride
Ego tryna creep up, so i sleep on my side

Like a broken switch, i just keep pushing on
Hustle says i cannot switch my brain off
I know i love what i do, but sometimes it can be cruel
Judge yourself to others, thinking why ain’t i got your food?

I’m the king of my empire, but i don’t like the rules
Gotta get like russ & have my logo etched in my pool
Independent i won’t ever be a corporate mule
Set a table & some silver, then kick away the stool
You gone get your just deserts when i show you the proof
Does the culture really matter if you don’t eat the fruits?
They all work for 25, but their life's in the loo
Why i gotta keep tryna tear down all of my roof?

{hook}
Tryna put it all together
But you takin my swag
Got me pulling back the curtain
On some things i never had

Last time i really rested, guess it’s been a minute
It’s a marathon, so why am i just always sprinting?
Expectations i surpassed, got me humble grinning
Got a borderline obsession with the thought of winning

{verse 2}
Fly to la then spain, can go where ever i want
Got respect for all the lessons & the things i been taught
Gotta thank the higher power for the life that it’s brought
Know who i am & my plan, so your habla do naught

Always pop into my ear like a soda
So i tell em can it
See you tryna be like sandman
But you more like granite
Yeah i got doubts & creeping feelings always tryna ravage
But i won’t ever let em take me & get the advantage

{pre-chorus}
Feel like, i’m running low on time
But i’m only 25
Still so young in my life

{hook}
Tryna put it all together
But you takin my swag
Got me pulling back the curtain
On some things i never had

Last time i really rested, guess it’s been a minute
It’s a marathon, so why am i just always sprinting?
Expectations i surpassed, got me humble grinning
Got a borderline obsession with the thought of winning
