Kayo - Washington Heights Lyrics

On the day I was born I left an adornment on the tree that my family planted left dormant
I was made to be the one to grab on it
Gotta be formless, not enough to want it got to be staunch when it comes to legacy these building blocks got blood and sweat on it
I got a passport I can't use, apologies I'm owed that I can't prove
The furthest from God but somehow my faith grew
At the same rate my rates grew
No place for regrets, If I go back in time, On God I'm just retracing my steps
Pacing my breath, 1,2, Huh
Stay with me cousin, would you believe, my son and your nephew can play with each other
Looking at pictures, started crying we kind of favored each other
But me and *****, see was made for each other
Don't know what went wrong
Flood said the best-case scenario's we atone
He tryna look out, I think we both know it's as good as gone
I'm writing checks I won't want to cash on the day it's called on
That tree was baren, but I still found a way to grab on

I be crying in my sleep
These niggas hate me but they dying to be me
Gotta be drugs dawg, and envy is the worst I would think
See what God say, in the meanwhile it's got to be bleak, all of you sweet
Tell the truth n***a ain't got to be street
Making a living off of standing tall, the bonus is you get to sleep well
And if you go to war, you'll probably prevail
I miss the love I had before I became selfish with mines
Guess it's a sign, do everything for yourself you'll be fine
