Joy to You

When did it stop being fun for ya

When did it turn to a job or a rut for ya

Did it happen over time

Bunch of moments in a line

Or one day

Woke up and was done for ya

Did you let them know the feeling in your gut (punch it)

Was it subtle or a little more what? (Pungent)

Did you hold on because you think you must love it

Or were you comfy so you went and grabbed a brush (fuck it)

Stressed out seeing their name and number calling

You pick the phone or the feeling and you just ignore it

All that red or green flags you just think it's horseshit

You see the yellow light coming and u fuckin floor it

I feel you

It's from experience, you mighta guessed it

Break a fourth wall cuz I'm heading for the exit

I mean I walk tall that don't mean I don't regret it

I just push em all away until I am legend

(pathetic)

Can't do it if it ain't bringing joy to ya

can't do it if it ain't bringing joy to ya

shouldn't do it if it ain't bringing joy to ya

wouldn't do it if it ain't bringing joy to ya

couldn't do it if it ain't bringing joy to ya

why would you do it if it ain't bringing joy to ya

how could you do it if it ain't bringing joy to ya

We wanna have our cake, eat it too, plus save a piece

and get another cake

just in case

this one doesn't taste as sweet

never the one embracing me or chasing me

it never ceases to amaze me how I fall for all the taken queens

maybe it's fear (maybe) maybe it's Maybeline

make up possibilities, maybe I'm living make believe

guess we'll just wait and see

right now the slate is clean

Who knows, maybe one day we'll get to recreate our dreams

Basically shades of green, plus grey

Interesting how the will they won't they tropes play

Used to be thinking bout futures after a pho date

Nowadays just want my peoples to be ok

But folks can curate their lives how they want though

If I'm not bringing joy I might get Marie Kondo'd

I might not practice what I preach but I do believe it

And let it out musically and you could see that...
