Intro to the Intro

Yo

What u saying

Look

That's probably not the best way to start the message

But you know I ain't the one

For sugarcoating and messing

I appreciate the blessings concealed as a lesson

But I'd appreciate for real if I could breathe for a second

I understand this life ain't one where I end up as second

But I'm just 22

So give me time d'you reckon

Am I late to the party?

I was just fixing my vision

Finding reason in my thoughts

And making sure I could listen

When the substance they found was supposedly different

And somehow

I worked too hard to show you how I was different

Finding lessons in a place of juxtaposition

Tryna balance my mind 'tween growth and ambition

And still I was killed by their selfish decisions

So maybe that wasn't true

Maybe I should focus on myself when I'll be writing the sequel

Maybe the obsession i live takes me closer to being mindful

Maybe someday I find a way to be peaceful

I started treating talent and the work as an equal

I treated every one of them like they were my people

But you don't get what u give and that's a message I recall

This the intro to the intro

That's the name of the prequel

Lemme think

Look

Did my search for closure really fuck up my vision

Resentment in my heart, name a soul where there isn't

Did I really recover from that head-on collision

Or was I lying to myself in the midst of a mission

But for real

I've being working too hard for this not to bear fruit

Cutting some ties loose and getting some new suits

Life gave me lemons, I've been making a new juice

But is it really worth the squeeze

If it always gon fall through

Yh

If it always gon fall through

Cos I just messaged

Cos there's storms in the south

And they ain't going away

Speaking of fam, you need to show me the way

Cos I ain't showing the tunes

Before I make it away, before I make up a K

And then I'll make it a Mill and they'll be nothing to say

Can't prove me wrong if I'm already in place

Living dad's dreams like we'd switch up our place

And they'll have nothing to say

Na they'll have nothing to say

They'll have nothing to say

Nothing
