[Verse 1] With all these thoughts in my mental, I feel its essential I express em whether living in bliss or if Im stressing Never gripped a Smith and Wesson, thanks to the lessons That Momma taught me No catching bodies outside of trust falls Thats what shed tell all her children before I love yall Then kiss our foreheads before we head to the bus stop On our way to school, we would probably pass a gun shop Now, its blood clots in my mug shots from corrupt cops If science is God I guess that makes me master at defying the odds Still perceived as a bastard in the eyes of the law A life lost is the untimely demise of us all Being involved in a life can solve Problems that financially providing cannot And I aint even tryna preach, Im just trying to talk But the silence keeps on magnifying my thoughts RED blood spilled over GREEN dollars bills BLACK teen steals when a WHITE cop kills Innocent lives lost by the GOLD mine fills VIOLET pills copped and popped for cheap thills They shop for refills and give children the chills Dudes want millions but still have no skills Swimming in the river of sharks with no gills Invisible ink forged the signatures on ya wills [Bridge] Silencing my mind as my soul speaks Ive been feeling salty this whole week, Im so weak So throw me in the hole where the crows eat A crows feet landed on the side of my eye with both feet And I leave them there as a reminder I dont sleep Cause Im wide awake, Im wide awake I can see my whole life today, its like Today are we tryna live the righteous way Or just repent once our time is gray? [Hook jBarb] I dont know Where Im going now All I know Its that youve helped me through the crowd You make me happy for why how You are a flower, pretty and round I wanna hold you close to my body The stars well count, every last ones got a story I see you laying there under the sheets Come here closer while I rub your feet Your eyes so deep like a Black Keys poster And you drive me crazy, I hope its never over Baby, youre my woman only You make me smile, never ever lonely With you by my side, I need you by my side Youre my ride or die, but baby, oh my [Verse 2] Jotting lyrics on the city bus These chicks is sickened with lust, they dont get any trust From my heart, you gotta catch my mind as a start But most of yall are only interested in physical parts So maybe its my temple filled with all these mystical thoughts Or perhaps its the fact Ive got a blackened soul And my spirit is dark Im feeling like Im a pessimist who is positive Optimistic outlook on life viewed through my optic lens But actually reality happens to be the opposite Of good when things dont go the way that they shouldve went Whats life when its nothing like what it couldve been? Blame it on the hood youre in, enduring pain that wouldnt end The window to your past is what youre looking in Would you rewrite a page or change the whole book again? Nevertheless, while reflecting in retrospect I guess my regrets couldnt be stressing me much less High selfrespect collected without the help of a check While progressing on my quest, The Pursuit of feeling the best That Ive ever felt, because happiness is a test From a lesson I slept on but Ill give it a guess Deep in debt trying to make a change from living worthless So I made a purchase and gave a homeless person the rest Yes, I must confess that I am tired of stress Im on my knees yelling please!, begging God to be blessed
