[Intro]
Ayy, man, turn that up

[Pre-Chorus]
Once upon a time not too long ago, I had to find myself
Blind lead the blind almost half the time, I had to guide myself
I was down on love, luck, hope and everything, I had to supply myself
I don't dwell on failed relationships no more, I had to find myself

[Chorus]
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long ago, I had to find myself

[Verse 1]
Lately, a n***a been lacking (Uh)
My wins feeling like defeat (Yeah)
N***as being hella passive (Uh)
I be chillin', I'm discreet (Yeah)
I been wishin' upon a star and shit
Holding on to who I am (Yeah)
How did I make it this far and shit?
I ain't have no other plans (Yeah)
All I had was the faith in me, n***as don't pray for me
All this shit fake to me
People be coming and going, I stay out the way 'cause that shit just feel safe to me
Woah, woah, hold, swole
Make sure you doing this shit for yourself
I keep it real 'cause the love being felt
Platinum-platinum I got plaques on the shelf
Platinum-platinum, ooh, I'm feeling myself
Platinum-platinum, turned my n***as to stone
Platinum-platinum, I just wanna go home
Platinum-platinum, got me sittin on chrome
Platinum-platinum, I'm just takin' a chance
Platinum-platinum, another chapter begins
Platinum-platinum, where the fuck I go wrong?
Platinum-platinum, I been here for too long
[Chorus]
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long ago, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long ago, I had to find myself

[Verse 2]
Some days I just wish I was strong, I put all myself in these songs
Pour up some liquor, I pour out my demons
I look in the mirror, can no longer see me
Look to my left and some kid wanna be me
So what am I really and who really feel me?
I just want love but the love almost killed me
Pour out my feelings but who gon' refill me?
Sorry, I'm speaking my truth but fuck how you feeling, I'm chillin', I'm tryna get back to my roots
I'm tryna just get back to Lute but rap money bought me a coupe
So I just ran off on the plug again
I do not need no gold bezel to capitalize on my following
I do not fuck with this rap shit 'ause I do not fuck with the politics
N***as be jealous 'cause I am the one that she swallowing
I am that n***a in my city and also in your metropolitan
I cannot take what you offering, n***as be dweebs
I take a pass if it ain't what I need
Shit getting deep so I roll up the sleeves
Take a step back so I just let it breathe
Fuck all that bullshit, I just let it be
Fuck all that bullshit, I get back to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Once upon a time not too long ago, I had to find myself
Blind lead the blind almost half the time, I had to guide myself
I was down on love, luck, hope and everything, I had to supply myself
I don't dwell on failed relationships no more, I had to find myself

[Chorus]
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long ago, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long, I had to find myself
Once upon a time not too long ago, I had to find myself
