grow out your afro wild
grow out your afro wild
baby step out of denial
shout out to my inner child
don't focus on the future
don't focus on the past
focus on making it last
focus on making it last
on the defensive
i'm learning my lesson
i'm counting my blessings
i'm making it swift
hoping to act like i'll wake up tomorrow
instead of wishing i could end it today
see the horizon, it's healing my faith
imagine the words that i keep to myself
bouncing around all the walls in my head
overthinking everything that was said
overthinking everything that was said
overthinking everything that was said
overthinking everything that was said
overthinking everything that was said
overthinking everything that was said
overthinking everything that was said
overthinking everything that was said
overthinking everything that was said

i need a reason to stay
tethered to this atmosphere because
my heart is racing away
yeah and i just keep on moving
don't fall for the distortion
the many bad thing that try to haunt you
the world is lawless
and that was just a caution to pray it out
they wanna keep us watching
they wanna keep us plugged in
tuned out, stay put
you must protect your soul
you must protect your vibrance
stay vertical
i'm yellin
free falling, fall onto your radar
fall onto your your radar

free falling, fall onto your radar

but my warrior spirit on the chase
lay low
cuz it's coming from the inside
quit getting lost while you're trying to be whole
running through the world like you're praying for a new one
new one, new one, new one, new one
asking every god, why i gotta choose one
choose one, choose one, choose one, choose one

careful what's on your mind
understand that this is a tactic
delivered to trap you
if you are a brown folk, you better
look into my eyes and see my humanity
stuck in a prism, capitalism, reconning season, can't be the reason
what is the meaning, give me a seizure, try to escape the system of pain
i wanted to die but i didn't mean it
no didn't mean it
wanted to die but i didn't mean it
no i didn't mean it
don't need the paycheck

this generation doesn't need the chemicals
listen to the sound of me losing my mind
can't get no reply cuz i'm in overdrive
pretty little hoodrat call me on my line
but i'm spiraling out, i had to hit the decline button
i'm just tryina find the truth in the lie or sum

don't call me a
don't call me a
don't call me an american these days
from the first nation, can i reiterate
this redskin mad, getting irate
we already livin post apocalypt
we the product of the experiment
we the top shelf, you the shiny gun
yeah we lethal but
still i need you close
yeah i need you right here
think i need a dose
fore the sun go down i say adios
been waiting all week to get freaky
with you freaks n geeks n sexy senoritas
my culture is my currency
am i making it better my feet on the ground
be on a mission, the human condiiton
is lifting me up while it's pulling me down
dip into my seratonin
sippin on my gin n soda
only one thing that i'm sure of
i'll be sober when i'm older
but the date to be determined
it's an instinct, it's a balance
only learning by osmosis
this is scripture, this a sermon
oh yeah, she trippin again
feel the old me coming back
thought she was gone for good
now she back on the attack
oh yeah, she coming for you
and she always got my back
and she don't know right from wrong
only know's how to get the payback, payback
i been making bangers in my bedroom
jail cell, brain scan, dead pan, caveman, nonsense
with the plug, open invitation
name on the list, it's an alias
not my government
i never show up
i had to grow up hasty
midnight baby
grew up shady
hypnotized by misbehaving
might be wild but she ain't lazy
guillotine this avatar
and reprogram my repertoire
in the fountain of youth
could be frozen in time
put me under the sun
when the fighting is done
when we heal the divide
cuz it wasn't my choice, no
n i hear through the noise
and i see the disguise
i return to the soil
overwhelmed by the void
the before
the before
the before
say it just the one time
don't want to repeat it
i don't need a chorus
you don't need a repetition
tell my niggas i'm sorry
to my niggas who are caught up in the profit
best case you gonna cry in your ferrari
til then you gonna until the party
start
everything fade out
we already livin out loud
n we sayin our vows
running but we can't fall down
never surrender
yes i'm on a bender
n when i bring peace
ain't no one pay attention
but when i get livid
you all want to listen
i still got my breath
still got my vision
still gonna shoot with the best of precision
you gon have to roll with me to my next spot
you gon haev to roll with me to my next thought
follow my attention span, what's my next thought
carrying the weight of my generation
i might have to pimp my trauma
maybe pimp it out a little bit longer
baby, could you put my maker on the line
i got so many words to say
cuz it's my mothafuckin time
wonder if i'll always be this crazy
wonder if i'll always be this crazy
i'm crying cuz i'm missing something pivotal
lost it in the move and lost it in the visuals
if i'm moving a shadow
if i'm changing a habit
do it hurt you to hurt me
it play you to play me
the words may escape you
but they don't escape me
i'll see you one day
and maybe we'll grow
the veil is too thin
i've seen the shadows

maybe you can hear my cry
maybe you can see my sorrow

ghetto ballerina pirouette across the dance floor
adore me, ignore me
what more could you ask for
i need a candle light vigil for my peace of mind
au revoir, auf wiedersehen, and goodbye
overdue for an overhaul
n where your crystal ball
n where your third eye
musta lost it in the digital
yes i am clicked into the zone
even when i'm with the people
with the people
with the people, i'm alone
vigilante, vigilante zoom
only want to see you smile
only want to shake denial
only want to reconcile
me a banshee, me a banshee, too
maybe you can hear my cry
maybe you can see my sorrow
promise i'll be good tomorrow
no tattoo, won't find a squiggle on my body
pull a quick reverse, no stickers on my maserati
no tattoo, won't find a squiggle on my body
pull a quick reverse, no stickers on my maserati
tryna find another
well i wish you good luck
limited edition in the wrapper from the womb
from the womb to the tomb
from the womb to the tomb
from the womb to the tomb
bask in my creation
now he wanna say sum
like me when i'm wholesome
he love me when i'm on one
he like me what i'm patient
he love when i'm a critic
give a little space n i'll remind you what you're missin
give a little space n i'll remind you what you're missin
give a little space n i'll remind you what you're missin
why you kissin other bitches
wishin they were me
they couldn't be
mirror of your honesty
tell me why you scared of me
my softness make me lethal
with my tongue in cheek
sweet melody comin through with clarity
