Lyrics

Like a newborn, stay curious and I’m always learning
I stopped swallowing my pride, instead, I started purging
Ashes on my lashes, now I’m active there’s still fire burning
When you see smooth as butter, don’t forget it comes from churning
The tension’s at a deficit - I cured my own disorder
I played another round the game is giving back my quarters
I lay these bricks by hand, my sweat and love is in the mortar
I want to taste all of the fruits, so I’mma plant an orchard
Too many people out here caught up on some scarcity
A lot of trauma goes deep you gotta share your grief
And everything you need is in you, listen carefully
Life is better when you can bare your heart not bare your teeth
And I see clearly now, because all the rain is gone
I don’t stress over chess, a King don’t sweat the pawns
And I speak clearly now, because all my pain is gone
I healed my heart, so I can put it deeper in my songs
Made my brain crazy trying to play the game safely
Safety ain’t made to create greatness daily
Found out I drowned out the sound of inner wisdom
Shut my loud mouth, I countdown to standing in my vision
She made me 5’ 6” so I would stand tall
She made me fall behind; now I’m outrunning all of y’all!
She gave me asthma in my lungs so I could learn to breathe
I thought I wanted fame, I was seeking inner peace
I fucked around, got beaten down, and then I left the trench
I did the math, I found my path and then I hopped the fence
I put in work, upped my worth, and now I’m feeling ten
Watch me thrive, I’m alive, in the present tense
20:20 vision I don’t need corrective lenses
Talk is cheap but wasted time is tragic too expensive
Be at where my feet at, thank Chase Young for the quotable
Never be in Jeopardy, never drive with potent potables
The whole scope of known emotion, I’m like seven dwarves
Soaking up internal wisdom, guess I’m self-absorbed
I keep it moving, there’s no time in life to settle scores
I’m outside with my truth, you’re on the message boards
On a journey, let my heart and guts set the course
Self-motivated by the game, I’m never bored
Upgraded pen - I got a better sword
Edgar Allen Poe, I’ll rap forever more
