Olumide - Bandaid Smile Lyrics

I pray I never die in a tragic way
I'll put the city on that you hardly say
Some niggas did me wrong yet they message me
I vent through all my songs cause it's therapy
I toss at night why my fam living damaged
Momma 60 something working
I can't hardly stand it
I live through all these battle scars a smile is how I bandage
When I make to the top they'll ask how he ever managed

Always showing love that's just what I do
I can look me in the mirror can you say me too
Faces blue
I turned them frowns into zeros
Stepping my shit up so brother see me as hero

Beast mode how I do it using a cheat code
Make it look easy even through blindfolds
PGN
Boy that's my fam so it's more than friends
Knock out the pin I gotta strike again
Watch how I win then bring my niggas in
When you live by the code watch how the hate come In

I pray I never die in a tragic way
I'll put the city on that you hardly say
Some niggas did me wrong yet they message me
I vent through all my songs cause it's therapy
I toss at night why my fam living damaged
Momma 60 something working
I can't hardly stand it
I live through all these battle scars a smile is how I bandage
When I make to the top they'll ask how he ever managed

These them dark rhymes living in these dark times
Working 9 to 5s meanwhile niggas dying
Seeing sisters crying
What imma do this time
Feeling stuck in this booth
Who I'm gon' help with rhymes

Throwing ideas to read my partners minds
Thoughts of ambition that's what goes on in mine
Pass the boof I know my path is the truth
I excel under pressure and ash my blunt in a suit
Do you ever just wonder why do we do what we do
Ask me when I get comfy I'll let you know in a few

I pray I never die in a tragic way
I'll put the city on that you hardly say
Some niggas did me wrong yet they message me
I vent through all my songs cause it's therapy
I toss at night why my fam living damaged
Momma 60 something working
I can't hardly stand it
I live through all these battle scars a smile is how I bandage
When I make to the top they'll ask how he ever managed
