Don't you know I know?

I ain't got no self control

I wanna put these feelings on hold

But I ain't got no self control

I'd be wrong I give into my conscience

Got no money in my pockets

Man this shit is killing me

Struggle inside the projects

Trust I'm doubting my mindset

But I amount to nothing I won't let the negativity

All on my own

I have to be all alone

But I feel pain in my heart

But yet I have to be grown

I just can't take it, enough

Play from the morn to the dusk

I wanna do something but guess I'm lacking the touch

Trust

I don't recognize

Life inside my reckoned eyes

Blinded by my stress anxiety

Is where my head resides

Soulless petrified

Magic in my head has died

Ressurect affection ain't no blessings in my second life

Second guessing everybody yo who got me?

Paranoia got me dodgy

Probably not me in my body

Getting slim

People I don't trust are settling

Wonder who let 'em in

Open letters when my voice is getting thin

Fuck them then

Always playing victim like you ain't just see enough of them

Playing with your motives give a fuck again

Blood is thin

Some fam will want a limb to bend

When they all pretend

I could tell you had a bad day when you had enough of him

I've been reflecting no second guessing when all is said

I'll be a menace with all revenge till I'm fucking dead

Uh

Sinking in life

Don't care about tomorrow I'm not living tonight

Losing sight

Following the stares round town

Rather take a flight

Sky's are never fair I've found

Actors fake and nice

I direct the bare high ground

Never budging for a wave

Stubborn where I drown

Uh

I relate to those who hate to cope

Taking those escapes to where the angels go

Scared that I can't break the role

Viscous cycle venom idling

I connect to violins

Strings puppeteering till I find a friend

Don't you know I know?

I ain't got no self control

I wanna put these feelings on hold

But I ain't got no self control

Some people get to prove who they are

I have to prove what I'm not

Shares and views on my music

Don't share the views of the cops

Y'all perception distorted

Just like this mic and this box

They peg my mind with these rocks

I might be fighting the clock

Classism in my city put my mind in these locks

See it's kind of astonishing how I fly when they flock

Seeming lonely and silent I can't decide when to stop

Been alone on my island I see my time as it rots

Spin the block

Yeah you got it but we see who you are

I keep components composed but never gave it a thought

I keep emotions real blue, am I happy? I'm not

But I'll be damned I fake emotions I came in with a plot

To be taking over, tired of the world upon my shoulders I've been moving colder a loner persona of Tortoise

Cause I'm moving at my own speed and I hope y'all don't notice

But I'm exploding with rage and I'm losing composure

Hold up

What you do for exposure?

What you do for the cameras?

What you do if you know us?

All my **** they with me

I'll be damned if we folding

Put a **** on they neck you can never control us hold up

Don't you know I know?

I ain't got no self control

I wanna put these feelings on hold

But I ain't got no self control
