Lyrics

[Intro]

Know when

I don't know when

I don't know when

I don't know when

I don't know

My power, I'll never need no one

I don't know

My problem, I'll never need no one

I don't know

My trauma, I'll never be comfortable

I don't know

[Chorus]

Look, slow down, the fast life is crazy

Those lights in that town is dangerous

I been tried, this lifestyle is not for you, you, you

Slow down, the fast life is crazy

Those lights in that town is dangerous

I know now, my love language solitude, 'tude

[PostChorus]

My power, I'll never need no one

My problem, I'll never need no one

My trauma, I'll never be comfortable

My power, I'll never need no one

My problem, I'll never need no one

My trauma, I'll never be comfortable

[Verse 1]

Yo, uh

Heavy is the head I'm told, uh

Not too many know invisible goal, uh

My intention with these women be pure

But my intention with these **** just moral

Look, lack of effort don't leave me alone

Just thinkin' 'bout what's next, and we gettin' too close

Why should I expect any different results?

When the last one did me dirt fresh out of divorce?

****, that's why I don't force ****

That therapy talk **** feel like backdoor extortion

You thinkin' you've "aw, hell-ed," and really, you've gone hell

You back on that "never mind," go back on this block list

Go back on the block list, she back on the block list

'Cause y'all could be anything, me, I gotta be cautious

Look, and I know it's exhausting

But I'm on this, I'd rather be single than double-cross ****

[Chorus]

Slow down, the fast life is crazy

Those lights in that town is dangerous

I been tried, this lifestyle is not for you, you, you

Slow down, the fast life is crazy

Those lights in that town is dangerous

I know now, my love language solitude, 'tude

[PostChorus]

My power, I'll never need no one

My problem, I'll never need no one

My trauma, I'll never be comfortable

My power, I'll never need no one

My problem, I'll never need no one

My trauma, I'll never be comfortable

[Bridge]

Tell me what you see

When you look at me

Eyes don't see the obvious

Love comes with a fee

My heart is on my sleeve

But eyes can't see what's obvious

[Verse 2]

Look, ninety thousand, two hundred and ten, yeah

My first album, I prophesied it then, yeah

Went from the carry-out to the Erewhon and back

With a back full of battle scars, it's a tragedy havin' friends here

Look, heavy is the head I'm told, mm

Not too many hold invisible goals

Call it butter love, it's a slippery slope

Got me thinkin' 'bout what's next and who gettin' too close

My prime years, a prison of paranoia

Watched **** I rhymed with gettin' killed and **** record it

I'm talkin' to God less, my misery ain't important

My tears water the flowers for thousands who need garden, I'm blessed

I know my time's too precious

Gotta watch how I spend it, yeah

I know they watchin' the difference

I know they clockin' **** different, I got a lot to protect

[Chorus]

Slow down, the fast life is crazy

Those lights in that town is dangerous

I been tried, this lifestyle is not for you, you, you

Slow down, the fast life is crazy

Those lights in that town is dangerous

I know now, my love language solitude, 'tude

[PostChorus]

My power, I'll never need no one

My problem, I'll never need no one

My trauma, I'll never be comfortable

My power, I'll never need no one

My problem, I'll never need no one

My trauma, I'll never be comfortable
