Staerf - WAY Lyrics

      

WAY
by Staerf

Intro(Way to the top!)(Staerf, you made this?)

Verse 1
Pressure on my back, city talkin’, can’t relax
Liquor in my veins, tryna drown the past in wax
Mama said I’m blessed, but the devil watchin’ close
Every move I make, like a shadow on the road
Used to ride the bus, now the seats all leather
Used to pray for rain, now the storm feel better
Tears in my eyes, but I never let ‘em drop
Put my pain in every bar, let the real ones knock
Thеy don’t love you ‘til you dead or you makin’ six figures
Thеy don’t see the struggle, just the gold on my fingers
I been chasin’ dreams while they chasin’ validation
Took the long road, never asked for navigation

Chorus
I been runnin’ from the past, but it always find a way (Way!)
I been drownin’ in my thoughts, tryna make it through the day (Day!)
They been prayin’ that I fall, I can hear ‘em when they hate (Hate!)
But I’m still here, still strong, still pushin’ through the weight

Verse 2
Look—every loss I took, turned to wisdom in the end
Every bridge that burned, never lit that shit again
Trust is like a glass, once it’s shattered, it’s a fact
Ain’t no way to double back, gotta leave it where it’s at
They say pressure make diamonds, but it also make graves
I been walkin’ on the edge, got my demons on a chain
Smile on my face, but my heart feel drained
Lotta people know my name, but don’t know my pain

Chorus
I been runnin’ from the past, but it always find a way (Way!)
I been drownin’ in my thoughts, tryna make it through the day (Day!)
They been prayin’ that I fall, I can hear ‘em when they hate (Hate!)
But I’m still here, still strong, still pushin’ through the weight
