Lyrics

As if nothing else makes it make sense
I’m half of who I was when I was him
Don’t nothing like reflection make me stronger
Because being down and out what helped me feel
Calls fragmented made it hard to hear the world at all
Something bout the state of celebration got me stuck in awe
Scars and scratches on the arm match the lashes on the walls
When the feds kick in my door, they made a hole out of my home
So here we are 10,11, 12 swat and armored trucks with bright ideas
Blinds tore off the crib my mama yell while I walk in
It’s a sober feeling, slight appealing, pressure high
Loading contraband and toddlers inside stolen cars
It’s a common sense of pressure that done been applied
I’m accustomed to, to tell the truth it help me feel alive
It’s the rush of ***** up cause if we do that’s 3 to 5 or at best put in a system where they split up me and mines
That’s a cycle, because cobra had to deal with it too
Funny how frequencies tend to pass over and through
Funny how I only notice when **** going cool
That I’m uncomfortable unless I feel I’m stuck in that loop
As if nothing else makes it make sense
I’m half of who I was when I was him
Don’t nothing like reflection make us stronger
Because being down and out what helped me feel
Try not to harp upon what coulda been, my heart done bent all type of ways
Fact of matter I ain’t fond of arguing nowadays
Funny how the echoes of your shame can speak volumes to your pain
So let’s mention everything
Cause I had imposed and exposed a part my soul I couldn’t control
Mourning deeja heavy, every day felt like a toll
And I told her, I’m going through some s***
See this where the tale of ignorance and pride plus all that other s*** combines
The reason then and reason now don’t figure out the reason why?
As I ride from Baton Rouge, with nothing to lose and 65
Dollars left on my account, I never thought about the signs
See peace is such a motherf****, it’ll get ya right
Cause my head lay gainst the window of my 2nd ride tonight
And the baby 2 seats up can’t help but fuss and have to cry
So the driver get fed up and stop the bus turn on the lights
But this a break up, this the make up of a life
One in which I can’t control, nor condone, s*** is trife
And now I’m navigating, talk to chance he tell me take it light
The greyhound park inside the lot, then all them sparks begin to fly
Toss and turn off Lafayette, let’s not forget where I was raised
On the side of city where before they pray they get ya sprayed
So I got a wound, b**** do what b**** do
Then you add the aftermath of Cap, Khalil & those I lose
I’m not sure what’s up with you, least that’s what you gotta say
But I’m doing shadow work, dealing things I can’t explain
I still twitch inside my sleep at night, grit my teeth and reach for pipes
Ready for what never comes but that’s just when I keep it light
Pressure does a number on me, numb to n****, bros and homies
Lost so many my dependence on em waiver, say they love me
But I disagree, prolly out here dissing me
Really I can’t blame em though envy such silly thing
Feeling things, tryna work my way through worry, and in vain
Anything helps
So I roll through voicemails & get reminded who forever gone be there, if no one else
