In Their Words: “The main phrase of this track is something I started saying to myself years ago as sort of a mantra to push through the hard times. Every time I felt like I was taking a step forward something knocked me back two, but ‘it aināt just luck’ that I made it this far. This track is basically my letter to myself acknowledging that Iām in some rough water, but Iām building towards something that will be worthwhile and that I wouldnāt let ‘the man’ or my feelings of impostor syndrome derail me. The line ‘I sold my soul for a slice of the life / Now I’m comin’ back round for another piece of the pie/ Feels like the devilās the only on my side’ is one of my favorites on the record. I did everything I could in order to make it this far, maybe even make a deal with the devil.” — Justin Golden
