Lyrics

I ain’t holding on for dear life for things that ain’t serving me well
Patiently waiting on myself without needing a bell
Coz the advice may be good, but the timing doesn’t corroborate
Fast lifestyle, but I need some time to contemplate
Never hesitate, but I sit & meditate
Mediate against me & myself I, we all classmates
Learning every day, this life is like a blind date
Don’t know who’s round the corner tryna fuck you for a quick plate
I see you in my DM’s tryna sell me shit
Buy a course spend a 100 & get rich quick
But I ain’t cutting corners that ain’t the right angle
That shit’ll circle back around & leave you tangled
People betting on my downfall like it’s fanduel
That chart is in the plus but I’ll take it & refuel
Story I’m writing gonna take a while to read through
I call this chapter I no longer need to please you
When did we put likes over integrity?
That instant gratification is not a remedy
I delay it, need to find a little space for me
I never felt peace like that moment in Yosemite
Yeah, capture that feeling in a bottle
Can’t bottle up my feelings, gotta take that pill & swallow
Can’t wallow in my thoughts I gotta think that all through
View is clearer & better when that ain’t resting on you.
Give me a second
Gimme 2 seconds just to breathe
Gotta take time when it comes free
Whenever it come around
Give me a minute, come &
Gimme all you got, it is never enough
We all running from the silence, but we hear too much
Everybody out here fiendin’ for that instalove
Always on the front foot, going attack attack
AC-130 waging war across the map
The only battle that I need though is the one inside
Individuation connect soul, body, mind
Carving out moments for peace on this tree of life
Every branch got a leaf & everybody dies
So when it’s mine, pray I helped the greater good
I got secure roots anchored in the right pursuit
If you hit me up I may not answer back
If I don’t that’s just me cutting off the slack
Butterfly knots wrapped, I see the edges fray
I need a clean break from the weight to get away
Rock & hard place, I find my coordinates
1% a day, focus on metamorphosis
People say to lap up all the water, but it’s poisonous
Commitment is laborious, to coming out victorious
Shake the snowglobe become a menace like Dennis
Thorn in the side of everyone who tried to end this
Envious of others lives, I’m trying hard to stop it
Coz I’m blessed in my own ways & I would never swap it
All the good, bad & the ugly
Do I want the fame, or be a man with no name?
Searching round for treasure, it’s been me all along
All the things I’ll become, we all gotta move on
Coz life goes forward either way
You can push away the present, leave it for another day
Ain’t pausing on it all, take control & let it play
I still got so much more left to say but
I’m tired of defending who I am
Tryna make a sucker happy only makes you one too
I’m an Orca in this sea I’ll toy around ‘fore I chew
But mum said when I was young never play with your food
Give me a second
Gimme 2 seconds just to breathe
Gotta take time when it comes free
Whenever it come around
Give me a minute, come &
Gimme all you got, it is never enough
We all running from the silence, but we hear too much
Everybody out here fiendin’ for that instalove
