THESE DAYS.

I feel like I've just been up and going through the motions

Back in my shell, full recluse, ducking all the commotion

I ain't the type to go cope with the pain, but I've been sneaking potion

I've been missing the way that the air feels from the Jamaican ocean

I've been feeling like younger me should've buckled down and listened to my pops

His advice to do your school, do it well, we ain't looking out for opps

His advice to let things go, hold in too much and you'll pop

His advice to invest in me more than others, gotta keep your heart on lock

I've been missing that coconut cream cake where I scraped off the icing

I've been missing my best friends, been a minute since us three been typing

Every time I see them on the 'gram, it makes me smile to see them thriving

I just hope they know no matter how long it's been, my love for them surviving

I've been loving this little knot I'm tying up, think I'm infatuated

I've been loving the feeling of being loved, tired of being hated

I've been loving blowing bags on loved ones, spending cheese that I grated

I've been loving my small circle, big groups overrated

Ew! Ew! Ew!

Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew!

Ew! Ew! Ew!

Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew!

I've been hating the way that I let myself get a little too comfy

It ain't nothing for someone to swoop in and take all of this from me

I've been hating the way that I feel like at any moment she gon' dump me

I've been hating how people expect me to just get over how they've done me

I've been hating my paranoia, I can't put trust in no words

Man or woman, friend or foe, Ima need some action with what I heard

I've been hating the lack of uniqueness everywhere that I turn

You ain't gotta dress like your for you page to be fly as a bird

I'm asking everyone to use their own mind

I'm asking everyone to please take the time

To look deep inside, and see what you find

Get to fruit, peel back the rind

You see that I've done the same thing to myself after all this time putting my heart on the shelf

I guess it's supposed to help me with my health, and keep my neck away from a fan and a

Okay
