Lyrics

I had to stop praying that ima make it

Looking to vices prolonging patience

Many late nights with a life forsaken

Overlooking simplicities God has graced me

The breath in my lungs

Was meant for songs

Most tracks that I've made

Are bred from qualms

When my squad gon be on

Paying back my moms

Had to crack open psalms

And wash my palms

Regurgitate the dharma

And rewrite the laws

Focus on my dubs, negate my flaws

Lotus in these blunts

Took my brain abroad

Couple shots of the Cour

Drowned me in the dark

But once I sobered up

I felt like the Lord

If you don't look beyond

Your sword brings you harm

If you don't look within

Then you lose the bond

Now I don't wish to look

At taboo haram

But they're all around

So I search for sounds

To reassure that my soul

Won't outweigh a pound

I won't sing and dance

For these corporate clowns

Cus desire, the hound

Wants to shift my crown

But the earth shakes

When i touch the ground

So I know what I search for

Has been found

The song on my heart

Yells but not loud

A king conquers himself

Before the crowd

Chyeaaa

My life is a horror flick

Fentanyl zombies hella artillery

We ain't even got to the gore of it

I'm in my own world tripping off magma

Can't even get to the core of it

Alotta paper right there on the floor

But you don't even know know the allure of it

Yeaaa

This is my life in the sunshine

This is my life in the darkness

This is my life when the sun shines

But this is my life when the dark hits

But this ain't the sand in the hourglass

So I don't know how long this shit'll last

But in my work ain't no call off

Fall down but never fall off

Working 9-5's not the life we preferred

And yet to be heard but won't be deterred

Could lose our souls to things we ain't deserve

But fear will never be why our dream's deferred

Working 9-5's not the life we preferred

And yet to be heard but won't be deterred

Could lose our souls to things we ain't deserve

But fear will never be why our dream's deferred

Navigating through chaos of which lane to stay on

Our sessions like seance that we used to pray on

We claim that we're great and our names on it's way but

Our faces are fake and are drawn on like crayons

Each day we aim to remain in this state but

The strain tends to weigh on our faith with no payoff

Slaving for "nathan" and ain't seen a day off

each gray on my brain makes me think, "we won't takeoff"

And Dreams that I've had in the past gone away

Cuz my past motives ain't what got me up today

Can't afford contemplating of how I'm gone pay

For food and bills off of incomes that fluctuate

Just thought by 30 I'd have come of age

Now I'm looking to God asking for other ways

And it's getting harder thinking of what to say

Cuz I have less in common with folks y'all want play

Aye B, (what up) forget what they think

Can't choose for themselves, gotta be told when to blink

What to wear, how to move, what to eat, how to feel, when to sleep

The cycle just repeats how you loop the beat

Hours in the studio til the cyphers complete

To get V's on everybody's head like widow peaks

6 deep but these days its feeling more 6 feet

The climb back more steep seemingly outta reach (man)

Sometimes it feels naive thinking how it should be

Battling allure to stay pure as virginity

Shouldn't need cosigns defining validity

With lines that defy those verified, who checking me (uh)

Rare breed superseding in any league

Schooling all abbots, no Janine Teagues

Charge a hearse for a verse, wreaths complimentary (keep em)

Hard curving this urge its all I know certainly (all I know)

(Cause)

Working 9-5's not the life we preferred

And yet to be heard but won't be deterred

Could lose our souls to things we ain't deserve

But fear will never be why our dream's deferred

Working 9-5's not the life we preferred

And yet to be heard but won't be deterred

Could lose our souls to things we ain't deserve

But fear will never be why our dream's deferred
