Bazzi - Soul Searching Album Lyrics

Humble Beginnings

Count up the bands, count up the digits
All of us died, now all of us livin' (all of us livin', yeah)
I pimped out my ride, call me Xzibit (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I am a man from humble beginnings
I start to try it where it's cold and rigid (brrt)
You won't be caught if they catch you slippin' (no, no, no)
Family back home, my family I'm missin' (family I'm missin', yeah)
They livin' good like they gettin' commission
They gettin' commission, oh, yeah
Yeah, I'm feelin' good, I'm feelin' right
Stopped smokin' weed but I'm takin' a drag
Think of my pops and where we was at
Whippin' the Grand and it's all that we had
Place-to-pace, facin' eviction
I was like Raven, man, I had the vision
Picture me here, I picture me winnin'
Now I'm in the top floor, I'm smilin', I'm grinnin'

Can't believe that we made it
Can't believe that we made it
We was broke, we was breakin'
Now I'm here and I'm stayin'
Can't believe that we made it
Can't believe that we made it
We was broke, we was breakin'
Now I'm here and I'm

Countin' the bands, countin' the digits
Wasn't born rich, wasn't born privileged
Lebanese blood, I was born ambitious (I was born ambitious)
My pops told me, "If you want it, go get it"
You gotta go get it, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I been goin' hard, stayin' hot like the summer
You know I take my chance, I might never get another
Blinded to the hate, like my name is Stevie Wonder
Do it for the fam and the fans and my brothers
'Member Cherry Hill camp, sent there on the bus
Center kept me goin' like a voice from above
Knew that I was destined, man, I knew that I was touched
In my head was conversations that I knew should be discussed
Jumped like seven years, now I've turned into a star
Livin' in my dream, oh, man, I bought my dream car
Realizin', man nothin' doesn't make you who you are
'Cause money buys designer shit to wear over you scars
Damn, money buys designer shit to wear over you scars
Grateful for it all, but my wealth is in my heart
When they tell me that I made it, thought I made it from the start

Can't believe that we made it (I can't believe, can't believe)
Can't believe that we made it (I can't believe)
We was broke, we was breakin' (breakin', breakin')
Now I'm here and I'm stayin'
Can't believe that we made it (yeah, yeah)
Can't believe that we made it (I can't believe, I can't believe)
We was broke, we was breakin' (I can't believe)
Now I'm here and I'm...

No Way!

When I hop up in the Wraith
It's a high speed chase
Push the pedal to the floor
I won't quit, no way
You can't stall us
No matter what they say
I won't quit, no way
F*ckin' no way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm the same old kid with the high school dreams
Got my eye on the prize, get it by any means
Just go, push the pedal to the floor
Game up in my hands, and bitch, I'll never let it go
Die for this shit, I would
No matter what they say, always knew that I could
There are things that I won't let them take from me
There are dreams that I won't let them take from me
Oh, yeah

All my life I knew I could
Fantasized 'bout living good
F*ck the tens, I want the hunnids, yeah
Blue bands, just keep 'em comin', yeah
Tell the family we finally safe, but

When I hop up in the Wraith
It's a high speed chase (it's a high speed chase)
Push the pedal to the floor (floor)
I won't quit, no way (I won't quit, no way)
You can't stall us (you can't stall us)
No matter what they say (no matter what they say)
I won't quit, no way (I won't quit, no way)
F*ckin' no way (no way)

Fallin

I been hoping, I been praying
Someone else could feel this pain and
Save me from the fear, it linger
Only has me falling quicker
Look me in my eye, tell me that we fine (ah, ah)
'Cause right now I feel like I'm stuck up in the fire (ah, ah)
Fading slowly, falling faster (yeah, yeah)
Falling faster (yeah, yeah)

Three days out the week, I don't even sleep
Thoughts runnin' so deep, take control of me
Crashin' in at once, don't know what it's from
Breakin' me to crumbs, I'm tryin' to run
All these drugs takin' all control of me, ooh
F*ckin' with my energy, ooh
Pullin' and it's holdin' me, ooh
Alternate reality, reality

I been hoping, I been praying
Someone else could feel this pain and
Save me from the fear, it linger
Only has me falling quicker
Look me in my eye, tell me that we fine (ah, ah)
'Cause right now I feel like I'm stuck up in the fire (ah, ah)
Fading slowly, falling faster
Falling faster

I can't even eat, I might need some tree
Insecurity got a hold of me
Yeah, I been feelin' down, guess I'll smoke a blunt
Look up to the sky, pray for what I want
But I know that I gotta get back to me (ay)
Recenter and actually (yeah)
Catch myself midair (yeah), then start to floatin' up ('in up)
Sometimes I hate my choices, but I can't hold no grudge (yeah)

I been hoping, I been praying
Someone else could feel this pain and
Save me from the fear, it linger
Only has me falling quicker
Look me in my eye, tell me that we fine (ah, ah)
'Cause right now I feel like I'm stuck up in the fire (ah, ah)
Fading slowly, falling faster
Falling faster

Can We Go Back To Bed

Can we go back to bed? Sleep a little longer
Voices in our heads, drowned out in the thunder
Can we go back to bed? 'Cause I'm not ready to wake up

I hate that we been so distant 'cause you know that I love you
Traveled thirty-six hours just to kiss you and hug you
You're so far, and all I want is to touch you
Smell your cheeks, you know the weird ways I loved you
And now we falling apart and it's killing me slowly
I'm not ready for another girl to touch me or hold me
We was more than lovers, you were my homie
Remember late, late nights, me, you, Anna and Kobe
I'm so obsessed with your spirit, I think that you need to hear it
You always doubtin' yourself, you way more than your appearance
I think album money made you
Beautiful, beautiful angel, perfection in every angle
Now losing you is so painful, damn

I know I'm not Mr. Perfect
I know I left you there hurtin'
I was just focused on workin'
And manifestin' my purpose
And now I'm beaten and burnin'
You know that you are my person
You know that you are my person, yeah, yeah

Can we go back to bed? Sleep a little longer
Voices in our heads, drowned out in the thunder
Can we go back to bed? 'Cause I'm not ready to wake up

Yeah, I miss your mom and your dad (and your dad)
Your sisters, brothers, all of that (all of that)
Remember Christmas-time by the pool
I never, ever had a family so that shit was cool
Yeah, I felt like one of they own
I wish we spent more time together, wish you lived in my home
Yeah, I wish I wasn't so busy, I wish that you could be with me
I wish you lived in my city, man
But, I just want you to know
That we should try and make this work 'cause I die watchin' you go
If I see you with another guy, I think I'd explode
Thinkin' 'bout you with somebody made my stomach go, go

Can we go back to bed? Sleep a little longer
Voices in our heads, drowned out in the thunder
Can we go back to bed? 'Cause I'm not ready to wake up

All the makeup gone, everything I wanted was you

Next to me, when I'm with you, you bring out the best of me
God made you a twin, but you the one I see
But shoutout to Elisha, that's my baby (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Conversations with Myself

Sometimes I wonder why I'm even here
Or if I have the strength to persevere
Sometimes I feel like I'm somebody else
Who's going mental with they mental health
Sometimes I wonder if I'll die alone
'Cause lonely people tend to have lonely souls
Sometimes I think about a younger me
If he'd be proud of the man he sees
I guess I'm rich, I made it out my town
I played in front of thousands, you know I shut it down
Look, little Bazzi, I'm living out our dreams
Mama cry every time we on the TV
Got a fancy car, we got a fancy crib
And you couldn't even dream of the girl that you with
Remember all your idols and the people that we love
I met 'em at a party, we was all doin' drugs
We's all doin'

Jesus
I think I need, I think I need some
Jesus
Rich enough and sad as f*ck, I'm
Lonely
Oh, I am, I am, I am, I'm so
Lonely
I'm the man, I guess I am, but I'm still

What's funny is
Is my whole life I thought making money and being praised
Would give me some kind of happiness
And I wanted those things because I was concerned
About what everyone else thought of me
I wanted to feel loved, I wanted to feel accepted
And then I realized that I could never feel
(Jesus) anybody's pain or their happiness
I could only feel mine. And the car (Jesus)
And the house, and the fame never made me feel
Anything except separated (lonely) and intoxicated
And honestly kinda grossed
Don't get me wrong (I'm so lonely) nice things are fun
I like nice things
But you just can't base your human value on them
Because at the end of the day
They don't mean anything
If I'm not happy, I'm a sad guy in a nice car
If I don't have any real friends or family
I'm just a lonely guy in a big home, damn

Who Am I?

I can't go on Instagram no more
That shit make me wanna die
I can't see another photograph
Paintin' the perfect lie, yeah
I'm so tired of feelin' paper-thin
Like I could tear at anytime
Trapped inside of the brain I'm in
Please get me out of my mind

Can anybody stop this train?
Take me back into my younger days
I was happy with the simple days
Who am I anymore?

Who am I anymore?
'Cause really, I don't know
All I wanted was to be something
To be something
But right now (but right now), I don't know (know)
Who I am anymore
Don't have a f*ckin' clue
I was hopin' I could be something
I could be something
But right now (but right now), I don't know (know)
Yeah, yeah

Take a look in the mirror, I don't know who I've become
Please take me back to the days when I was young
I ain't had no purpose, only thing I had was fun
Now the only thing I feel inside of me is numb
I can't spend another second on my phone
I can't focus on your life, homie, tryna live my own, yeah
Yeah, I got some issues, tryna fight them all alone
But if I'm in here by myself, this house will never be a home

(Stop this train) Stop this train
(Younger days) Take me to my younger days
(Simple days) Pride's on the floor

Who am I anymore? (Who am I? Yeah)
'Cause really, I don't know (really, baby, I don't know)
All I wanted was to be something
To be something
But right now (but right now), I don't know (know)
Who I am anymore?
Don't have a f*ckin' clue (I don't have a clue)
I was hopin' I could be something
I could be something
But right now (but right now), I don't know (know)
