wan gray – striving for better things (carolina nature) lyrics

[prod. wan gray]

[hook] x2
used to dream big about luxury things
used to wanna be the goat, but i’m striving for better things
carolina nature, shout out to broughton high
for all of those big lessons, the future might be bright

[verse 1]
thoughts of young man raised in carolina
living through the hard times and the good ones
influence by society, everyday i wake up
life gets harder but i pray for the better
on the road touching people who need fresh minds
whenever they’re down, i’ll be there to pick them up
i use to take that curve route to make sh-tty music
didn’t know why the f-ck i choose to dumb it down
the power of my soul is the power of achieving goals
i’m reaching to the youth cause they need a role model
the ones that need to speak up for their city
the ones who don’t have a voice, but inside it’s making noise
i’m striving for the better stay away from the fakes
cause they’re the ones who tried to f-ck up my music
i’m worried about being blessed taking care of me
my future in raleigh but god said “keep striving”

[hook] x2

[verse 2]
adapting ways for myself including my mental health
to stay alive and strive for the goals i want to reach
all it takes for me to get there is having patience
family hitting lotteries, i stay crafting
believing in myself, live and learn from mistakes
things happen for a reason, turning negative to positive
people gonna judge you for what you say sh-t
but it’s all good, i use it as motivation
i remember about those days in my room thinking, stressing
what’s life without a balance, no respect from your people
back in the old days b-tches jabbed me cause my slang
they’re trying to lock my black -ss out like david stern
these n-ggas are racist compared to donald sterling
they don’t wanna hear a conscious man with a message
these days, the business people all about the money
thinking about the outcome, rather than the income
that’s f-cking bullsh-t, i’m just trying to the greatest
achieved ab honor roll until i got degraded
shout out to my lovers and even all my haters
might’ve been your fave before people ever heard of me
curiously asking why i’m talking about problems
i am part of the problems, my problem is i’m a peaceful maker
and i believe in the culture
and the carolina nature b-tch
