Lyrics

Promises made
It's likely another phase
I low-key stumble upon your number
The reason I give is I'm blazed
Sacrifice displayed
I might be prisoner to unsaid words
I show you my vices
Bled on the page for the listener and nothing suffices
Shed off layers of my faith
They say I'm the nicest, maintain it thru prayers and self preservation
I know my place
The world entices you with plain lies and mad validation
I'm at an age where recognition doesn't fuel my ambition
I fuse my soul on samples with stupid precision
You see
I gave so much of myself to everyone but self
Grave mistake, I touch grass and hug on a tree
Forgive myself
It's such a task to feel like I'm free
It's a lesson learnt
That means another bridge burnt
I try and paddle this wave
It seems I'd go to extremes just to settle my point
Live out my dreams on TV screens
Belittle my fears
Teach thee bout self preservation
I'm slept on it appears
They tell me show your face more
Collaborate with so and so
Can't contaminate this beautiful oasis for approval from you faces
Dismal in my tone as I speak
I meditate upon distasteful voices I keep
Conglomerate on demon time
I prolly see y'all 22 August
As My Sanity Fades
I'm at a loss of creativity
She my Monica Lewinsky
Pop it for me in 3D
Say she want her diamonds in VV
That hoe needy
Uh CC my invoice
No I don't drink but I still pack up the section
Nothing but 10s all around
Peep my selection
Until I rot
Until I fucking decay
I speak with a certain conviction
I'm the thought of a felon caught in the mind of a clergyman
As my sanity fades
22 August
Self Preservation
You know regarding this I've had my reservations
What good is any of it when my eminent decay lies ahead
Years of moderation turn into a source of self condemnation as the waters of my soul slowly dry up
Did I live enough?
What's enough in the face of eternal non existence
I mean I know there's no parallels between me and he who bled so in 3 days I know I can't return
Self preservation
