[Verse 1]
I don't know if I'm doing this in vain, yeah
But I swear that this shit be in my veins
This shit been startin' to drive me insane
I just want the money, I don't even need the fame
What if this shit I'm making actually lame?
That's why I ain't took off like a bullet train
What if I ain't as good as I think I am? (Yeah)
All this gold on my neck, like who do I think I am?
Complex wiring and circuitry gave me emotions
Connected to my brain from which that came all the notions
I'd be a liar if I said I didn't fill my mind with doubt
I'd be a liar if I didn't get my truth out
Now I done rapped my heart out and blew the roof out
And I done rapped so hard, I swear I spit a tooth out
The hourglass ain't giving me no time back
Talked to my nana with hеr cigarettes and wine glass
And shе said

[Chorus]
"Everything happens for a reason" (Everything, everything)
So they say
But honestly, I don't know what to believe in these days
Yeah, seasons change, people change
Talked to my n***as, and they told me, "Don't trip"
"'Cause you the captain of your own ship"

[Verse 2]
My girl been going through it, sometimes I feel helpless
Racing with my friends like, "Damn, how can I help this?"
I just want to be wealthy, buy shit I couldn't afford
I still live within my means, I drive a Honda Accord
I take eighty-seven gas, I'm not a regular n***a
Support Black business, breaking bread with all of my n***as
I ain't gon' stop 'til I pile several figures
Retire when I'm tired, go figure

[Chorus]
"Everything happens for a reason" (Everything, everything)
So they say
But honestly, I don't know what to believe in these days
(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)

[Bridge]
Starin' in the dark, my thoughts haunting me all at night
I done been so broke, I done put my pockets in rice
I don't keep a stank face, I try to keep it polite
Speeding down the tunnel, I'm headed straight towards the light

[Chorus]
"Everything happens for a reason" (Everything, everything)
So they say
But honestly, I don't know what to believe in these days
(Oh, oh, oh, ooh)
Seasons change, people change
Talked to my n***as and they told me, "Don't trip"
"'Cause you the captain of your own ship"

[Outro]
You are the captain of your own flight today
