A Week Ago

by Marcellus Juvann

on Carpe Noctem (2018)

(Verse 1)

Shit was all-bad just a week ago
We was tryna make a honest living
It ain't easy though
Insufficient funds
What the hell I got this visa for?
Plus a nigga walking
Cuz I do not have a vehicle

Lord I need some angels
Send some halo's to yo people
Show us things we never seen before
Tryna move a mountaintop
Balling till they call us out
One man, one plan
Single as a dollar now
Ex girl had me stressing
It's a blessing
I'm the best out, yeah
Walking with my chest out
But I'm staying humble
Ain't no stumble in my steps now
I was staying focused when a lot of niggas quit
Had to weather through the storm
I'm the only one that's left now, yeah
So you can't say a thing to me
I put in the time
Ain't nothing I got just gave to me
Learned this on my on
Ain't nobody give the game to me
Never sell my soul for the gold
That shit lame to me
Seeing shit different
Got my vision looking clearer
Use to hotbox in the Civic
Now we tryna sell the Civic out, yea
God told me this was written
Been a while since I read from a written
Wow

(Chorus)

It was all-bad just a week ago
We was tryna make a honest living
It ain't easy though
Insufficient funds
What the hell I got this visa for?
Plus a nigga walking
Cuz I do not have a vehicle

Lord I need some angels
Send some haloes to yo people
Show us things we never seen before
Tryna move a mountaintop
Balling till they call us out
One man, one plan
Single as a dollar now
Ex girl had me stressing it's a blessing I'm the best out, yeah

I'm the
I'm the, I'm the, I'm the, Best out x4

It's a blessing I'm the Best out

(Verse 2)

I grew up on Cudi and Wayne tapes
Had the dedication back in grade 8
By the 10th grade we was bumping Wiz
With a B in math smoking grade A
In my spare time use to mediate while I medicate
Dosing off on the interstate
Till I blacked out like Sammie Sosa
I was running wild
I ain't play it safe
Then my momma called
Said it's all bad
Brother going withdrawals
I felt his pain dawg
We the same dawg
Life is different so apart
And look we made it out the dark
Thank the Lord we caught a spark
Cuz I was out there breaking laws
Jakes never caught a nigga with the charge
But I new one day
With all these long nights and target practice at the stars
Would soon set the boy apart
Art's son with the Art
Use to hate you
Now I thank you
All I know is what you taught
But's it's good now
Cuz I'm good now
I still think how…

(Chorus)

It was bad just a week ago
We was tryna make a honest living
It ain't easy though
Insufficient funds
What the hell I got this visa for?
Plus a nigga walking
Cuz I do not have a vehicle

Lord I need some angels
Send some haloes to yo people
Show us things we never seen before
Tryna move a mountaintop
Balling till they call us out
One man, one plan
Single as a dollar now
Ex girl had me stressing it's a blessing I'm the best out, yeah

I'm the

I'm the, I'm the, I'm the, best out

It's a blessing I'm the best out


I'm the

I'm the, I'm the, I'm the


Yeah
