Phora - To The Grave

To Rate
intro
Haha
Yeah
You know
Yeah

verse
So many people dependin' on me, i ain't got no time to relax
I ain't got time for the bullshit, i ain't got time for the past
I ain't got shit for none of you people that come up to me with your hands out
The reasons that you see the work, 'cause the plot was perfectly planned out
Nobody thought that i'd get here, just put two more plaques on the wall
I always knew that i'd be here, they always prayed i would fall
They always prayed i ain't make it, now they all wanna be involved
They shut me out, they push me away, but now i'm the person they call
Rich enough to buy a couple boats
Ridin' through the city in a ghost
Lot of people see me as the g.o.a.t
But i'm just grateful they can feel these quotes
2022, i lost hope
But writtin' music helped me stay afloat
It's probably fifteen millions in my notes
And that's the realest shit i ever wrote, look
I prayed that my momma see brighter days
I told her, "i won't throw my life away"
Now i feel like ocean and tidal wave
Came a long way from top ramen in microwave
Came a long way from not havin' shit
From sleepin' off floors, ain't got mattresses
Single mom raised me, it took a toll on her, wish i could pay for the damages
If money can't fix everything, just know i got you on anything
She knows my love for her is unconditional, she know i got her by any means
Focused on family, focused on music, i'm focused on buildin' a legacy
Focused on gettin' myself right with god, knowin' all i been through, he protected me
Saw the drugs kill my dawg slowly, watched the ones i love forget they know me
Tryin' not to let that shit break me, tryin' not to let the pain control me
Know i be in texas like ginobili, chi town, eatin' rigatoni
California where my heart stays, i lost a piece when we lost kobe, damn
Pray to god for protection, i don't really need a weapon
Came a long way from the '03 camry, used to dream of benzes
Now they love me out in london town and i know they love me out in texas
Then i learned that the most important thing is people love and respect us
Some want the money and some want the fame
Some want the diamonds all over they chain
Me, i just wanna fly away to the stars and write a few songs so they remember my name
Say what i mean and mean what i say
I'm grateful for life, there's nothin' i'd change
Only thing left is to spend all this money, we all know you can't take that shit to the grave
chorus
Pull me down, try and break me slowly
Show me fake love, nobody knows me
Take my heart out, they can't control me
I put god first, my spirit's holy, yeah

post-chorus
Nobody knows, they don't know
They don't know what i go through
Nobody knows, i got scars and i'm broken just like you
And in the end, who's down for me? who's down?
And in the end, who's there when i fall down?
Ooh-ooh, oh, fall down
Ooh-ooh, oh, fall down
