graycielo - BRAVE Lyrics

I'm tryna love myself, love truly unconditional
I've been blessed with skills so truly unconventional
I'm sick of pining for people because I'm miserable
Tryna keep the balance but that shit gets pretty difficult
I'm not perfect but don't trust in our conception of perfection
Been impatient for the blessings when I haven't learned the lessons
Need a bigger f*cking hard drive, I'm snappin every session
Self-acceptance is my focus of the day
I guess I'm feeling pretty brave
I've been tryna stay out of my own way and let God lead me out of this maze
I've been off my normal game
Down on my luck, tryna tell myself that it's just a phase
Self-sabotaging, no one else to blame
Wreck the path that I just worked so hard to pave
I'm my momma oldest son, I can't end up in an early grave
From the cradle to the grave
Like I said, I guess I'm feelin pretty brave
All this money that I'm gettin been attracting lots of bitches but it doesn't numb the pain
Bathed in the River Styx
Feelin like I'm plagued by Shades
Devil really likes to change shapes
There's so much going on, uncertain what to emphasize
Even when I get upset, I'm always quick to empathize
So many energetic frequencies that I've been tryna synthesize
Sometimes I'm manic too, so I see you act out and I can sympathize
Tryna build awareness, but I've still been known to like a little bit of denial
I miss wintertime at Wonderland and Sofi up in Niles
Sailed from Cairo down to Thebes and Abu-Simbel on the Nile
My redemption part of wider-spread revival
Self-acceptance is my focus of the day
I guess I'm feeling pretty brave
I've been tryna stay out of my own way and let God lead me out of this maze
I've been off my normal game
Down on my luck, tryna tell myself that it's just a phase
Self-sabotaging, no one else to blame
Wreck the path that I just worked so hard to pave
Fortune favors the brave
I been getting paid, all this money that I'm getting, but it still doesn't numb the pain
