Should've Kept Quiet - Music Video (Lyrics)

Описание: Should've Kept Quiet (Lyrics)

[Intro]
Told you I’d make us rich
Said it loud like it was stitched
Now every word feel heavy
Echo in my head already (yeah)

[Verse 1]
Saw the red bills on the table
Dad rubbin’ eyes, sayin’ prayers under breath
Mama countin’ change at the cable
Talkin’ ’bout what they can push to next month again
I got hype off a clip on my phone
Thought I’d cracked that secret code
Came home with a plan, too bold
Spilled every detail before it even had bones

You laughed like I’d lost my mind
“Dreams don’t pay on time” you said
I felt small like a kid inside
But my mouth had already run ahead

[Chorus]
I should’ve kept quiet
Let the work talk first, keep the promise silent
Now every time I slip, you say “you sure ’bout that?”
Like a joke you rewindin’ back
I’m doin’ this for you, or am I doin’ this for me?
Got me second guessin’ what I really believe
But I’m locked in now, even when it hurts
Wish I never bragged before I put in the work

[Verse 2]
Now I’m up late, blue light on my face
Tryna build somethin’ real from this tiny little taste
Lost some money, lost some friends, lost sleep
Screens full of numbers, heart skip a beat
You said, “Boy, just get a job
Clock in, clock out, stop chasin’ fog”
You don’t see the seeds, you just see the dirt
You don’t feel the burn, just scared I’ll get hurt

Part of me wanna quit to make you proud
Wear that uniform, fade in with the crowd
But this path got my name deep down in the stone
Even if I walk it scared, I gotta walk it alone

[Chorus]
I should’ve kept quiet
Let the work talk first, keep the promise silent
Now every time I slip, you say “you sure ’bout that?”
Like a joke you rewindin’ back
I’m doin’ this for you, or am I doin’ this for me?
Got me second guessin’ what I really believe
But I’m locked in now, even when it hurts
Wish I never bragged before I put in the work

[Bridge]
If I make it, you’ll say you knew
If I break, you’ll say “we told you”
Either way, it’s still my road
Still my nights, still my load
So I’ll save my breath, let the numbers show
Let the keys click slow, let the balance grow
You don’t gotta trust it, just wait and see
’Cause the next time I speak, it’s the last rent-free

[Chorus]
I should’ve kept quiet
Let the work talk first, keep the promise silent
Now when you bring it up, I just smile, fall back
’Cause the grind got receipts, and they stackin’ at last
I was doin’ it for you, now I’m doin’ this for me
If it blesses you too, that’s a victory
I’m still locked in now, even when it hurts
Next time I’ll show you
Before I say a word (yeah)
