| We been on this road for too long
|
| I can feel it coming soon, tonight
|
| And I don’t know where it’s all gone
|
| But I know that it’ll be alright
|
| It’s feeling like the petals just don’t fall in my favor
|
| Following fallen fickle dreams that put my pen to the paper
|
| I think it’s hopscotch, jumping off one leg unto another
|
| Better bet I make those colors change, sunny days to acid rain
|
| Life is just massive pain with cigarette burns and ash stains
|
| Y’all must be smokin' something
|
| Feel it in my lungs I gotta shout to get the word out
|
| Like I’m swimming in the syrup I shoulda drowned inside this world now
|
| Aunt Jemima got it out for me, slower than I need to go
|
| Burning rubber hopefully that someone else can see the smoke
|
| S.O.S I need that help I am a mess, a handful
|
| Least my momma says I’m funny and I’m handsome
|
| I been jumping round on one leg losing balance like a manx
|
| Signing deals on left and right I need that money in the bank
|
| Feeling hopeless, don’t know where the road is
|
| Lost my sight a mile back and all I am is over it
|
| I know that’s it
|
| We been on this road for too long
|
| I can feel it coming soon, tonight
|
| And I don’t know where it’s all gone
|
| But I know that it’ll be alright
|
| It’s no coincidence I’m less friendly
|
| Ain’t no predicament to bob and weave; |
| been running on empty
|
| Anchor weight resentment I’m tempted to keep pretending
|
| Put on my khakis and button up my tucked in shirt
|
| I wanna live simply
|
| But fortune favors the consistent and my masters ain’t so omniscient
|
| Calm kisses and a frantic sense of conviction
|
| Remember, every face in the crowd be thinking that they think different
|
| Heavy dose of self respect
|
| I pay my debts
|
| I thrive in stress pay your tides
|
| I even been lying less
|
| Not a whole lot left to confess
|
| I think I finally understand
|
| Serving your purpose and scratching the surface of being a man
|
| So deep inside my head affection read like accusation
|
| Couldn’t hear her begging me for reciprocation
|
| Partly believing every resource spent need compensation. |
| Forgetting love is not
|
| a zero sum equation
|
| Got nothing but patience
|
| There are things inside your heart that you can’t choke in blood,
|
| but that don’t mean I don’t want to
|
| My default to confront you but wheres the growth in holding close the things
|
| that brought me here
|
| Who you are gon' change as much as what you thought you loved
|
| Boy everything is perfect
|
| I’m everyone I’m supposed to be
|
| Not a follicle or cell out of place
|
| We been on this road for too long
|
| I can feel it coming soon, tonight
|
| And I don’t know where it’s all gone
|
| But I know that it’ll be alright |
