AKidCalledJay - Whatever It Takes lyrics

[Verse] Man, last five years has been a weird ride Through some real lows and some real highs When I set sail it was clear skies Then I realised something was missing I started seeing the success that I dreamt of It came in a trade off like ''Guess what? Apart from your best song, the rest of is slept on" So kept on tryna figure out where I went wrong This ain't the reason I got in it for Is all they're gonna see then I don't even want it anymore sh**, a little voice said "Come on Pez, I know that it's hard At some point you're gonna have to let go of the past Start moving on, just move beyond This bullsh**, if people doubt you then prove them wrong." Instead I seem to fall into this dark place When you pa** blame to deal with the hurt And every single day I feel the feeling get worse You can justify through the sets of respons— Ibility, this feeling of resentment Relieves and being full of contempt can mislead I had to let go, with that intend to proceed And accept my problem isn't with them, it's with me It took being at my wits end to concede But now I've had some time to reflect and see And after finally feeling that peace of mind Now I think I need some time just to realign Some peace and quiet So I can free these demons eating at me and then try to release this sh** I keep inside But instead I have my back up Cause the first one went well and I got pressure now to backup I know when I feel uptight, I can unwind Sometimes I wish I can go back to being unsigned When I'd sit there in my room and I'd just write Didn't give a f** about the outcome Now I can't think without one and when the doubt comes It's something you can't outrun, I know, I've tried So it's like I'm sitting here tryna find That feeling I used to feel when I would write I don't know what it was, I'm pretty sure it used to be joy Cause it's something that I used to enjoy Now I don't even really know if there's emotion Because most of the time I just feel like I'm just going through the motions I write cause I have to sh** I know that that ain't right but I have to And the thing is there's this image in my mind that I find I'm attached to It's how the guy back in time, I'm like that's you A reminder in the back of my mind Of a high that was at that I'm trying to get back to I never can
