[Verse 1 K.A.A.N.] And Ive got a couple of flows You love my speed and Im giving you all of my heart Everything that Im feeling inside dont I confide on the records Repugnant pundits that push agendas and pass judgment My confidence consequently squandered, Im being honest These moments never lapse I sit and watch them pass me But still find time for the craft throughout the mist of madness This mind numbing tactic has now been a major factor What you see as monotonous becomes my daily practice Studied the rhyme but from front to back till I know it all Its every adjective, its every consonant, its every simile, verb, noun, its fortified Its for the soul but its all composed like a fragile mind [Chorus LANA DEL REY] White lines, pretty baby, tattoos Dont know what they mean Theyre special, just for you White palms, baking powder on the stove Cookin up a dream Turnin diamonds into snow [Verse 2 K.A.A.N.] And my family worked they whole lives Ive seen em struggle and survive Thats where I learned the meaning of sacrifice To love someone so much that you put your dreams on the shelf To provide a life for them that you never had for yourself I recall all them nights at deep run, arguments over low funds, roaches inside the dresser But never settle for less All these rappers speak on progression as though theyve actually seen it This mindboggling selfishness As though materialistic shit can fix all your problems in situations and instances Ive seen what money does to the soul It muddies it If theres no moral compass But youve amassed an amount of wealth Then invest in a crucifix, an attempt at saving yourself I can tell you its fucking hopeless but that would be pessimistic The poster child, for contain negativity, I will never be No longer am I lost in my thoughts, Im doing the best I can I have to put myself in their shoes, how hypocritical Am I to judge what someones been through? Or why the act they way they act and do the things that they do Its all perspective We subject ourselves to different vices and my advice is be decisive with decisions you make Dont be overly obsessed Find some balance and truth, everything in due time, its not as bad as you think The frame youre seeing things through Just multiply it by two, and youll see a bigger picture than the one you currently view [Chorus LANA DEL REY] White lines, pretty baby, tattoos Dont know what they mean Theyre special, just for you White palms, baking powder on the stove Cookin up a dream Turnin diamonds into snow [Verse 3 K.A.A.N.] And I wanted to make it I guess, how do i live with the criticisms? People will give an opinion they put it upon a pedestal A penny for your thoughts but I never asked for change My work ethics ridiculous and yours is not the same I swear to god and I wrote it all with a pure intention The truest testament with no excess or false aesthetics You couldnt imagine or fathom the effort Im exhuming My heart and souls in the shit but yet they force me to prove it Who in the fuck wouldve done it the way that Ive done it with all of the pressure No label backing, no facetious claims of independence, no hidden investor This shit is developed in my mind I pray to god and ask for strength and patience through these times Its to the point that Im passed insane but its intertwined 430 AM, Im up and my day has just begun Im living a life of focus Im giving you nothing but realness But give it a couple a minutes, I swear youll hear all my devotion Feel like Im stagnant Im running in place All of the time that Ive invested have I spent it in vain? Givin you a better effort, shouldnt that work more? Got me thinking to myself what I do all of this for How you complain about the hatred but you accepting of love So I take the good with the bad and I ignore the assumptions I aint read comments in years cause they wont do nothing for me I never take for granted the fact Im alive Its a blessing [Chorus LANA DEL REY] White lines, pretty baby, tattoos Dont know what they mean Theyre special, just for you White palms, baking powder on the stove Cookin up a dream Turnin diamonds into snow
