I use to wanna be up on Jordan's and such 'Cause you only feel good when they showing you love And you only felt good when you went to the club Shit I ain't ever feel good when I went to the club 'Cause we don't own anything but we living it up In a place far away Let's get closer to love I would love to craft the country Like Atticus Tell me who we are to have the nerve like sciatica Time to put some healing to that hurt cause we had enough I've lowered my moral compass If baby is bad enough Whatever happen to dreaming Now everybody wanna be a demon Am I the only one that's laying on a cloud sleeping Quintuple down on your plans if it's worth more And if it ain't fulfilling Then it ain't foreal then Men can't make mistakes Only women and the children But while I hold this weight Let me show ya that I'm great Plenty times You just gotta be reminded Plenty times I was looking and was blinded Petty lies you mistook it for the truth In the end gotta reconsider you Plenty times You just gotta reminded Plenty times I was looking and was blinded Realize if you look inside you That you had it along I thought you knew I thought you knew I never seen my parents together and it was crucial Generational trauma is violently coursing through you But the way that we treated and seed it like it's the usual Shrink diagnosis Is telling me it's a loose screw But do you know what it feels like On the north side of the city they kill life Bright ideas gettin' bagged and bodied and killed twice Just to go beyond like bath and body We feel frightened Uphill battles gotta pedal we still cyclin' Know it's been a long time Shit but I'm still writing Gotta enough fight left in my body I feel Tyson You don't know bout Nikki Giovanni Or real life then If you don't understand your past faults Then you bound to repeat it I'm like lets us build wealth I can spiritually see it Stepping stones I can't lie times I'm still alone But when I see what we on Surprise the feelings gone Plenty times You just gotta be reminded Plenty times I was looking and was blinded Petty lies you mistook it for the truth In the end gotta reconsider you Plenty times You just gotta reminded Plenty times I was looking and was blinded Realize if you look inside you That you had it along I thought you knew I thought you knew
