River (feat. V.C.R & Dakota Austin)

I was raised by the players in the game That they didn't want to win, so they never treated the same From the rougher side of the terrain Renovatin' broken links in generational chain Bigger than the curses and the claims That I watched 'em try to put on my family's last names Runnin' to the truth could look like runnin' from the lights and the fame When you ain't forget the nights of the pain Splittin' dice by the flame Bettin' on the fights in my brain Led to wrongin' all the rights in my lane From the heights I obtained I got extra ice in my veins If you're thinkin' you could try, come again I know time wasn't tame I'm refined and I'm wise in the ways That I find serendipity aligned and arranged Strive in the middle of the grind I'm lettin' it fall in line To the rhythm of the river when I pray now Another flight through the valley in the shadow of death Tryna keep my head from out of the depths That's where the hazard is left 'Cause this depression been as quiet as kept Tried to sacrifice it for the success Internal burdens while externally blessed It's been a world I accept My therapist said that's the too much to compress Put my soul to the test, identity could be the infinite jest Along with time robbing, all of the stress It's work to stop the descent It's different when the listener ventin', I understand Commitment and fulfillment, I balance on either hand I still get co-dependent and worry about the plan Adjusting to a space where I'm callin' out the commands Appreciate the patience while I've been learnin' to land It's still a couple lines we've been drawin' over the sand But I'm standing my ground with durability Committed to deliverin' my essence of humility, for real
