Lyrics

I'm living life like I'm coming back with a Mulligan
Double stuff stuffing my cup with enough to
Kill tigers and bears like Jazmine Sullivan
Take a walk in the jungle where we covenant
Where half the **** can't pronounce the
Name of that designer that they covered in
Mirror, mirror mirror, tell me why you so speechless
I wanna know why we exhibit the most childish of features
You know our thoughts can be the loudest of speakers
And ribs of cages cause our hearts can swim
And fly amongst the wildest of creatures
I digress, sometimes alone I sit and stare at the ceiling
And ask you all the questions that
Swim around my head when I'm chilling
I ain't tripping, I know that you won't clip my wings when I fly
Cause you ain't put me here to pay bills and die
So fuck they thoughts and opinions
I had a vision of the life we deserving
Gotta live my life with a dream so I can die with a purpose
We all the same, from the wino to the head of the service
But them hospital walls done heard way more prayers than them churches
That's why we here
I guess that's why we here
I guess that's why we here
I guess that's why we here
From the joy to the pain
From the shine to the rain
From the top of your soul
To the back of your brain
I guess that's why we here
Vicious society brings out a different side of me
Honestly there's a dragon trapped underneath all this modesty
Mazel tov to my **** in poverty
Take a ride with me through the slaloms
Of which we've been glorified by society
Hustle the day in the hopes of better tomorrows
And let my ambitions reflect themselves like these car doors
Paying off tuition, still tryna jump out this pothole
But it's never ending, I'm scared that you'll never get it, listen
My mind is on to some shit that I shouldn't speak on
Been dealing with some things with the visions of a king
And the privilege of wings, man the feeling that it brings
Every time I drop a track, swear the angels be yelling "Preach on!"
I got the soul of a hustler, come and fuck with us
You can visit my world, see the place that corrupted us
I swear it's crazy cause one day I'm Dr. King
The next night I hit the club with the bitches from my dreams
Ay fuck it, I'm just sitting here reminiscing
But fuck it, probably trippin' on all the shit I've been missing
My little cousins got older, them **** probably whipping
Would tell 'em about the world but they really too young to listen
Know how we was as kids, so expect it from all the children
The lives we leading are puzzling, expect 'em to wanna fit in
**** making a name and I really hope that they get it
While women acting like girls and these girls are acting like women
The friends you had on that stage at your graduation went missing
Even though they said they'd call you
And make it work through the distance
But shit, you promised the same so ****, you ain't no different
Now everybody's distant
And I hate that that's how it works, we never thought it would happen
You busy with all this school shit, I'm busy with all this rap shit
These ****, they ain't my ****, the city trying to trap me
It gotta be more to life, I can't help but sit and imagine why we here
