| [00:12.57] |
Still working |
| [00:13.92] |
Still waking up looking for real purpose |
| [00:16.52] |
Still trying to figure out what it's gon' take |
| [00:18.80] |
Still trying to find connection with some real surface level types |
| [00:22.64] |
Back when I was young, I used to pedal bikes |
| [00:24.80] |
Now I'm riding cross country, doing several nights |
| [00:27.26] |
In and out the Sprinter van, pull up, get the levels right |
| [00:29.80] |
Get a bite to eat, do the show, and then we settle like |
| [00:32.46] |
What could be a better life? |
| [00:33.77] |
But I'm still staring at the ceiling in my bed at night |
| [00:36.45] |
Thinking 'bout what I don't got yet |
| [00:38.18] |
Why I'm not hot yet |
| [00:39.73] |
Why the last project was something that I thought would make me something that I'm not yet |
| [00:44.49] |
It's all a work in progress |
| [00:45.97] |
That's what they tell me and I respond with, "I guess" |
| [00:48.68] |
I been wanting to get something off my chest |
| [00:51.21] |
But it's not time yet |
| [00:52.56] |
It might never be time |
| [00:54.85] |
My kid won't get no screen time |
| [00:57.85] |
At least that's what I'd like to think |
| [00:59.39] |
'Cause my childhood was filled with tree climbs |
| [01:01.93] |
And Oatmeal Creme Pies and looking at the street signs |
| [01:05.78] |
I guess that he gon' be fine, or she will |
| [01:07.94] |
I just feel like it's hard to be thrilled in times like this |
| [01:10.90] |
When our hands can't keep still |
| [01:12.44] |
And if it's not Insta then it's emails |
| [01:15.97] |
There's beauty in the details |
| [01:17.69] |
So I'ma try my best to pay attention to 'em |
| [01:20.41] |
Spend your day with this and it can get you through it |
| [01:23.08] |
I ain't seen an institute since I ended schooling |
| [01:26.24] |
Used to hate it, now my dreams take place in it |
| [01:28.72] |
Sun shine through the blinds 'til I wake in it |
| [01:31.32] |
I just got done stretching like the eighth inning |
| [01:33.98] |
Now it's time to get something 'fore the day's finished |
| [01:36.10] |
|
| [01:46.82] |
I got |
| [01:48.73] |
Well wishes in my cellphone from my classmates that let themselves go |
| [01:52.38] |
Well aware that I'm well known |
| [01:54.30] |
Know we had a stretch of time between us that you felt close to me, but |
| [01:57.96] |
It's been a minute since |
| [01:59.82] |
Did I change or did they rob me of my innocence? |
| [02:01.61] |
Inner city kids I grew up with, we had some differences |
| [02:04.27] |
But inside gymnasiums, it's almost like they didn't exist |
| [02:08.35] |
Time's tickin', my mom's 50 |
| [02:09.79] |
Told me that she been thinkin' 'bout spending time different |
| [02:12.52] |
It's more precious, what if I took the same method at 21 and adopted it? |
| [02:17.01] |
Sometimes I feel like I'm tripping for dipping out of town while my pops living still |
| [02:21.53] |
Palms itching, but this money is not Benadryl |
| [02:24.01] |
Ain't no pattern to the way I tend to feel |
| [02:26.62] |
It's all over the place |
| [02:27.98] |
I'ma lower the shades and sleep in |
| [02:30.71] |
I ran into a kid I grew up with |
| [02:32.74] |
He shook my hand and told me, "No one thought you'd do this shit" |
| [02:35.23] |
I can't relate, but see, I understand |
| [02:37.16] |
'Cause when they hear me now compared to back then it's like, "Who is this?" |
| [02:40.44] |
Don't know if I changed, but the music did |
| [02:43.46] |
In my old shit, I used to just admit things |
| [02:45.73] |
Now I sit around and wonder, "Is that something you admit?" |
| [02:48.45] |
'Cause when I hear it, all I do is cringe |
| [02:50.62] |
I guess I did change |
| [02:51.97] |
Two years in ATL |
| [02:53.77] |
Before I moved, I had never got drunk |
| [02:56.14] |
Now I'm getting tore up like an ACL |
| [02:58.86] |
Meeting people that my friends idolize |
| [03:01.40] |
That they only ever get a chance to see on they TL |
| [03:04.75] |
Artists that they playing through a JBL |
| [03:06.75] |
In somebody's basement, smoking, getting wasted |
| [03:09.36] |
Something in the air and I can taste it |
| [03:11.46] |
2018 I couldn't be on my own |
| [03:14.37] |
Every night I'd call a girl and fall asleep on the phone |
| [03:17.71] |
I guess it was how I coped with leaving from home |
| [03:20.00] |
Discipline, I gotta keep in control |
| [03:23.21] |
It gets more difficult to rap every day |
| [03:25.31] |
'Cause it's less and less things that feel like worth saying |
| [03:28.36] |
Nothing is for sure except life sure ends |
| [03:30.45] |
I tried to keep that in mind but it's not workin' |
