Phone blowing up, every ping a new flame  

Sliding in the DMs, callin' out my name  

Side chicks and side deals, money on the line  

Tryna stack the paper while I'm losin' my mind  

One text turn to two, two turn to a thread  

Next thing I know, whole day already dead  

Chasing every sparkle, missing every gold  

Heart racin' fast but the story getting old  

They say keep it moving, I say where we goin'?  

Eyes on the prize but the prize keep glowin'  

Fake love in the mix, real ones in the cut  

I blink, lose a grip, now I'm back to stuck  

Every siren singing, every light turn green  

I accelerate, then I crash the dream  

The whole world is yelling, "look at me, look at me!"  

I nod my head but I can't even see
