[Hook]
(What ya Sayin')
Figured I will be destitute
Guess I taught you a lesson
I look at you like (What ya Sayin')
What's that shit you was talking
And now you punching the air ain't nobody hearing (What ya Sayin')
You really tried to bring me down with you
The people holding up my crown (What ya Sayin')
And I return it with love

[Verse 1]
Yea Yea
I'm kinda sorry That you had to see me rise like this
And manifest the future in my mind like this
I know it must be hard to see me up
With the stars when you was throwing the sword
And wishing for me to fall
It take a lot to hate me with everything that you are
And everything that you have
I hope you get out the past
And maybe then one day we could get together and laugh
And I can figure out why my being here make you mad
I hope you getting your money
I hope your setting is sunny
Only intentional shade
Veggies and fruit in your tummy
Happy with who you became
Little ones calling your name
Beautiful woman at home
Nobody dousing your flame
You hope I'm hurting and I hope you great
I live my purpose I ain't perfect but I'm flying straight
Going through the highs and lows
Learning not to run it hot
I just hope you know that all I wanted was to find my way

[Hook]
(What ya Sayin')
Figured I will be destitute
Guess I taught you a lesson
I look at you like (What ya Sayin')
What's that shit you was talking
And now you punching the air ain't nobody hearing (What ya Sayin')
You really tried to bring me down with you
The people holding up my crown (What ya Sayin')
And I return it with love

[Verse 2]
I tell it how I live it I ain't putting on a act
I celebrate the village and it's why the people clap
I'm genuine in spirit even when I'm dead wrong
Tryna give the people hope like restoring dead lungs
I'm just sitting on my balcony and living my truth
Even when I feel ashamed I admit it to you
Cause I don't do it for myself it's for the good of the world
I'm on a mission I feel like it's something I gotta do
That's why no matter what you saying you ain't taking my juice
Suicidal niggas stay attempting breaking my rules
I'm thanking every single person that doubted me on the way
I be thanking you every day as I'm waking up to my view
Get up to the sunrise this a struggle sometimes
I hope that you step into your power when it come time
Life is something special so you really gotta love yours
Before you finished or getting close to the runtime

[Hook]
(What ya Sayin')
Figured I will be destitute
Guess I taught you a lesson
I look at you like (What ya Sayin')
What's that shit you was talking
And now you punching the air ain't nobody hearing (What ya Sayin')
You really tried to bring me down with you
The people holding up my crown (What ya Sayin')
And I return it with love
