Angels in My Ear Lyrics
Bakes | from From the Ground Up (2021)
Written by Bakes · Produced by Isiah Salazar
Seen it all, through ups and downs, I'm still goin'
People changed, I never switched, I'm still flowin'
I don't move where the wind's blowin'
We're up next, I've been knowin'
Been provin', I've been showin'
Even with the hate that they been throwin'
No matter what, I'ma shine regardless
Game cold, but won't let it turn me heartless
Found the light, I made it through the darkness
Honed all my skills, and improved my sharpness
Who came through in the freshest garments?
But it wasn't always like that when I started
If I could take you back in time
You would see how I always had it
I don't mean the money
No, I'm only talkin' 'bout the passion
You know what I never lacked was the drive
Just a bigger budget to do more than survive
That's why I had a good plan from the start
Put myself in a position to depart
From the typical life of 9-5
Even though I graduated from school for it, why?
Each decision came straight from the heart
Now, more than ever, I feel so alive
If you only knew all the things I did in my life just to be here
You would see I put in the work, and had the faith it was drawin' near
I killed fear
Vision never hazy, it's still clear
Grinded hard
Blood, sweat, and tears
If you only knew all the times I sacrificed just to get here
You would see how I overcame
Was always quiet, now people cheer
I killed fear
Stayed prayed up, and I'm still here
God in my heart, angels in my ear
Regardless of what's goin' on in my life, or what people sayin'
Still doin' me, and pursuin' my peace in the place I stay in
Careful with what I'm doin', and the messages I'm displayin'
I'm just tryin' to give you a walk in my shoes, you could take a day in
Please believe
This did not come easily
Every time I try to ease my mind
I just know there's more to be achieved
Thinkin' back on my college years, when I was dead broke
Good intentions, but was less woke
Listenin' to my gut more
Probably inspired my best quotes
Thinkin'
"I've been grindin', tryin' to make it
And I know my time is comin'
I have patience, I'll keep goin'
When I'm on, they can't tell me nothin'"
Even way back then, knew I had a
Gift, I developed it, now I'm at a
New height, can't get up with a ladder
Makin' hit after hit, like a batter
I don't really have time for the blabber
Yeah, I made it by myself, why you mad, bruh?
'Cause I really am the man, not an actor
I'm the one, and you're not even a factor
If you only knew all the things I did in my life just to be here
You would see I put in the work, and had the faith it was drawin' near
I killed fear
Vision never hazy, it's still clear
Grinded hard
Blood, sweat, and tears
If you only knew all the times I sacrificed just to get here
You would see how I overcame
Was always quiet, now people cheer
I killed fear
Stayed prayed up, and I'm still here
God in my heart, angels in my ear
