lyrics

Put you phone’s down and pick yourself up
I wrestle w/ how I’m so restless
been quarantined for 2 months I don’t know why I’m dressed up
i feel mess up

i gotta get it like i have no choice
i spit truth till i have no voice

feeling good eating great compassionate flex
2020 so crazy I can’t ask what is next
I’m living in the midst irrational mess
just Trying not to collapse in my flesh
when all I can see is an invisible threat

but holding hands with love
feels like an elaborate yes
the only piece of gaffer tape my life got left

I’m from the place where them things blow
from same concrete where them things rose

Heavy as a continent my conscious is
thinking bout how I’m in the game don’t always know what I want from it
I’m just done being broke like a promise is
but who are are we as a society when money ain’t a part of it


What are your raps about?
what do your goals look like
how can we map that out
when
everything is ocean of uncertainty
when
everything you penned w/ so much certainty in agenda and planner
everything that’s in your platter
feel like gelato
tasty but really don’t matter
feeling good eating great compassionate flex
2020 so crazy I can’t ask what is next
I’m living in the midst irrational mess
just Trying not to collapse in my flesh
when all I can see is an invisible threat

but holding hands with love
feels like an elaborate yes
the only piece of gaffer tape my life got left

I give everything I know
Everything
Everything
Just know you're not alone
Just know
You’re not alone
