lotus

Nothing ever come easy in this life, no

Ma told me, "Work hard for the bank roll"

But I found a lotus in the mud

Pain

Drip like water

Splash like ink

Flash tat drink

Shot that

Pain

Drip like water

Splash like ink

Flash tat drink

Shot that

It's a celebration

I convince myself it's moderation

"It's ok, it's not on you 'cause girl, you were persuaded"

Math ain't mathin' on that personal equation, ooh

Start over again like that smooth clean shaven

Get that validation get that ass shakin'

Only see me lookin' fine on my timeline

But I'm barely hanging on to a life-line

Drink, smoke, rise up with the flame

Float up in the ether but my molecules remain

Crash, burn, took a downturn

But it's all lessons learned, go easy

Pain

Drip like water

Splash like ink

Flash tat drink

Shot that

Pain

Drip like water

Splash like ink

Flash tat drink

Shot that

I get no rest, miles on ten

Replay, replay, I can't rest

Hold my breath, minds on ten

Think I need some time off

Smoke to get my mind off

Need to turn my light on

All your evil eyes go blind

Oh-oh, smoking too much

Yeah, I know this

Maybe yeah, she got me open

Like a lotus

Ooh, yeah

I can't stop, yeah

Or put it down

Put it down

Pain

Drip like water

Splash like ink

Flash tat drink

Shot that

Pain

Drip like water

Splash like ink

Flash tat drink

Shot that

Nothing ever come easy in this life, no

Ma told me, "Work hard for the bank roll"

But I found a lotus in the mud

Anything to lift from here to there

To bring me to my knees, my hands in prayer

'Cause you know I once was blooming, now I'm here

Sitting with the lotus in the mud

Know I gotta swap the sin for medicine

Suddenly I'm gifted with the flood

(Ooh ya)
