These Ways (feat. Tano Rivers)

Ah

and I don’t want to stay in these ways

but if I gotta get moving

boy I won’t slow down

Ah

For whenever I’m awake

And you call my phone

this late

To ask me

If I want to roll one

My pain is evident

My lies are attractive

when I’m talking at 3 AM

I know that I be laughing

I know that I be crying

Cause tomorrow is a blessing

Cause I’m breathing at the moment

I wake up

And I might even feel a little lucky just today

And Just today I felt the rain

falling from an uncertain place

I tried to keep on running from it

But I never found my ways

I hear what you be saying

you needed your secrets in these chambers

Change the directions to getting no more progressions in these ways

Persevering while wondering

If I cannot contain that

Demon inside of me

Screaming my darkest themes

Why am i talking with no regret

in my honesty

Put me with these ironies

Hook me up with desires

Hit me up when I’m calling

I heard depression is defiant

Me me

Me is all wrong

Me couldn’t think right

Me was all lost

Me

sees

the

Right in his wrongs

Never hesitates to keep

wanting for more

Ah

and I don’t want to stay in these ways

but if I gotta get moving

boy I won’t slow down

Ah

For whenever I’m awake

And you call my phone

this late

To ask me

If I want to roll one

Hey

You thats listening

You don’t mind mind me

cause I got no intuitions when

I hope I survive in today’s age

this construct of masculinity is telling me to change

Fuck it

Im finding what I find attractive

If I want to wear dresses

It’ll fit my body language

Keep it with the gestures

Goodbyes and no digressions

I just want to find something that fits my own perspective

Life in this lifetime

Lost up on your timeline

you can’t help me keep it on track

That’s why I’d rather spend time

staying in my right mind

before I lose to stressing in this mess

Im losing my head to the writing on the wall

Im trying not to pretend that I’m close to slipping off

Listen to my pain when your hear the rain pour

Just remember the sun always returns after the storm

Ah

and I don’t want to stay in these ways

but if I gotta get moving

boy I won’t slow down

Ah

For whenever I’m awake

And you call my phone

this late

To ask me

If I want to roll one
