Wings (Roost)

I got this monkey on my back and we reside in cahoots Sun is shining and I wonder why I'm feeling uncouth Dig my digits in the dirt trying to combine wit my roots I been flying for so long that I forgot how to roost I was lying to myself had to align with my truth Often times in this life I can't decide what to do I been blinded by surmises peep my iris for proof I exist behind my eyelids trying to hide in the moot I been dancing in the mirror trying to retrace my steps Choreography is spotty and I'm dating myself Funds lost in trivial pursuits I'll rebate my wealth Angels watching over me I wanna replace they deaths Demons lounging on my shoulder whispering in my ear Sometimes I wanna listen but the language ain't clear Every day I'm facing off with everything that I fear Trying to revel in success like it is rare that I fail I don't care bout the fame Niggas that I never met they recognize me by name And they acting like I owe 'em got me racking my brain Got this monkey on my back sometimes he drive me insane I just wanna fly away but niggas hack at my wings I just wanna live a normal life Raise a couple kids, pray they inherit my overbite I'll tell 'em what is wrong even though I'll never know what's right But how can I be present to my family I'm a poltergeist Apparently I disappeared but I don't feel the distance here I don't feel the pressure closing in on every instance here I can't hear the dissonance my visual is crystal clear Wanted to be closer but I'm fizzling away into the hemisphere Know my hemoglobin low Probably told somebody every lyric to this song but the words was jokes But I ain't joking tho and I ain't wanna choke no more Telling you the truth like I wrote this while I'm under oath
