Lyrics

I don’t know where I am but I ain’t going back

You’ll never catch me at the culdesec

Boys been plottin’ and schemin’ in the pitch black

Got no warning of attack aye

I don’t know where I am but I ain’t going back

You’ll never catch me at the culdesec

Boys been plottin’ and schemin’ in the pitch black

Got no warning of attack aye

Would get personal but don’t know if it’s healthy coping

Finding issues side of issues like we microscoping

Pick apart the thing to pieces right before your eyes

And then I kill it like a medic keep you immunised

Knocking down doors like we preach shit

You should open up your ears when we teach shit

Form a congregation open up a new page

Like we’re breaking out fire in the dark age

I’m just tryna make it through the fire

I don’t wanna see you on the outside

I’m just tryna make it through the fire

I don’t wanna see you on the outside

I don’t know where I am but I ain’t going back

You’ll never catch me at the culdesec

Boys been plottin’ and schemin’ in the pitch black

Got no warning of attack aye

I don’t know where I am but I ain’t going back

You’ll never catch me at the culdesec

Boys been plottin’ and schemin’ in the pitch black

Got no warning of attack aye

Grew up in a town so suburban and white

Some aren't locking their cars, some aren't locking their bikes

At my first job this lady emailed us, was like

"I spoke to Mayo, that young, black, man was very nice"

I'm a youngin Hispasian in a place full of old folks

Looking downtown, yeah there are the goalposts

Believeland, 216 is phone code

Planning the designs, then I'm leaving the ozone

10 banks no clubs, yeah man i feel stuck

And The next door neighbors kid is modding some trucks

Rolling coal, making noise when he's ricing them up

When he moved out for college we weren't missing him much

They don't even jaywalk here

Y'all can play safe, I'll be lapping my peers

Had to shift gears with the passing of years

Gotta leave the culdesac, won't be shedding a tear

I don’t know where I am but I ain’t going back

I’m just tryna make it through the fire

Boys been plottin’ and schemin’ in the pitch black

But I don’t wanna see you on the outside

I don’t know where I am but I ain’t going back

I’m just tryna make it through the fire

Boys been plottin’ and schemin’ in the pitch black

I don’t wanna see you on the outside

Me being strong, that doesn't happen often

We ain’t cut from the same cloth

I’m drenched in fabric softener

Often a vagabond and my problems i rather bottle up

I stock ‘em up, up to the ceiling I stack ‘em properly

I stack em in my noggin so they don't pass through my sockets

So don't touch the property my shit leaking faster than Yandhi was

I’m lacking solace

I’m tryna find it cos i done lost it

A passionless zombie, that's really what they called me cos

Its accurate for me

Now they building to success and i'm lackin’ a story

Get their legacy cemented and i’m backed in the corner

Slackin’ from morning til the night

Ain't no hustling like its 40 minutes til a flight

I'm in a dead end plight, gotta get shit right

I been in, this culdesac for most of my life

And I want success and I wanna thrive

But the road to self love is like a never ending drive

I don’t know where I am but I ain’t going back

I’m just tryna make it through the fire

Boys been plottin’ and schemin’ in the pitch black

But I don’t wanna see you on the outside

I don’t know where I am but I ain’t going back

I’m just tryna make it through the fire

Boys been plottin’ and schemin’ in the pitch black

I don’t wanna see you on the outside
