Benediction

Family calling me, they worried, I said just pray for me

I’m outchea thinking bout life and how to build a legacy

I’m working on myself and I’m trying to do that patiently

Imma be a better me

Tired of sending out my shit to hear that there’s no vacancy

Knowing I’m the hardest, out and that’s just speaking tastefully

I’m tired of swinging jack, man I’m tired of being jodeci

No humble stages left in me

OGs been warning - boy try not to waste your potential

They said I got game so there’s nothing you lames could tell me now

But life is a process, and the stages are sequential

I’m gonna make it anyhow

I’m not the type to get on beats and spit rhymes over petty things

But I can’t stand no fake gangster, worse than TV wrestling

I wonder how they sleep at night, I bet that shit’s unsettling

Oh you think you’re from Medellin, okay

Family calling me, they worried, I said just pray for me

I’m outchea thinking bout life and how to build a legacy

I’m working on myself and I’m trying to do that patiently

Imma be a better me

Sometimes I go down on my knees

and talk to God, Tell him I need

a lot of grace, Nothing to Odd

His warm embrace, When life is hard

Maybe a body double

To stand in and fight these troubles

And get through all of the tussles

While I‘m hiding in a bubble (that’s the Holy Spirit)

Something bout life is you should always try to carry on

Quit thinking about how to be revered in a millennium

Cos folks gon try to box you in like fish in an aquarium

Stand tall like the pantheon

I don’t want this to seem like a song about pain

I’m just deciding to let the ink bleed for a change

I’m freeing up my heart and I think you should too

This isn’t just the outro, I wrote this for you
