Tokyo Proverbs

Yeah, yeah
Wise man said
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wise man said, wise man said
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ain’t no feel
Wise man said
No doubt
Oh, yeah
And the wise man said
Correct
They told me, «Good ones ain’t supposed to die»
(Ain't supposed to die)
And girls don’t cry (They don’t cry)
Guess that all was a lie
Get high, tryna face my pride (Tryna face my pride)
I need a moment to myself, a bit of privacy (A bit of privacy)
Seems everyone who hurt, try to confide in me
(Try to confide in me)
Shit, I hurt too, they just don’t be tryna see
Turn blind to the flame that be burnin' in me (Burnin')
It’s hot, and all this pressure be boilin' my blood (Boilin' my blood)
All this hate around really be spoilin' my love (Spoilin' my love)
Who do I trust?
This thought constantly screwin' me up
Confusin', I’m stuck, I need motion (I need motion)
Tryna not to be emotional and stay focused (Stay focused)
Aware from vultures
It’s like I was my happiest when at my brokest
Nah, now that’s not fair to say
‘Cause even on those sunny days, it was fairly gray
(And they say)
The stick that sticks up, gets hammered down
(Gets hammered down)
The minute you don’t stand up, you stand down (Stand down)
It’s always criticism when you stand out (Stand out)
But if life ever knocks you down, hold ground (Hold ground)
It’s what you make out of life’s lessons
(It's what you make out of it)
You got your sight, and you’re not breathless
(You're not breathless)
Just stay firm on your word (Stay firm)
And live through this Tokyo proverb (Proverb)
Dance like a diamonds (Dancin')
Guess you can say in my many ways, I’m shinin' (Shinin')
Change the climate by changin' who I am
Redefinin' who they thought that I’d be
Lost and forgotten, ooh boy, they tried me
They expectations short, they must be 5'3″
Ain’t no shortcuts, my roads keep windin'
No whinin', this timings justify me (Me)
And you know God’s timin' is perfect (Perfect)
All that time shapin' and moldin' is so worth it (So worth it)
Sometimes, I feel like a hard lesson my sole purpose (Sole purpose)
I ain’t perfect
But I perfectly inserted this grit
So, anything I get — I earned it
Firm grip
I ain’t lettin' go of a goal I ain’t get yet
On myself, I place a bet
And you know I’m here to win, I ain’t take a L yet
The stick that sticks up, gets hammered down (Hammered down)
The minute you don’t stand up, you stand down (Stand down)
It’s always criticism when you stand out (Stand out)
But if life ever knocks you down, hold ground (Hold ground)
It’s what you make out of life’s lessons (It's what you make it)
You got your sight, and you’re not breathless (Not breathless)
Just stay firm on your word (Stay firm)
And live through this Tokyo proverb (Proverb)
