One time, my mind is on a new wave
Long hair I'm vibin' like I'm Liu Kang
I slice lines and write mine to fight
For that 9066 always flowin' through my blue veins
That block ten is locked in my coffin
So often I'm lost and forgotten
Been boxed in, exhausted and taut
So I'm jottin' every thought to exonerate my toxins
Now ten hut, my name's been left shook
When it rained hella planes and Franklin's pen struck
They ain't protect us, the pain is pent up
Still revokin' every piece of the blame in textbooks
But I rock steady, and thou not ready
Hardly holding on my palms won't stop sweating
Calm, I'm offsetting the gap from past feelings
I'll craft a bat so I can smash the glass ceiling, motherf*cker
Can you feel the vibe, can you feel the vision
Can you feel the mind in the composition
In every strand, with everything in my hands
And if this is who I am mama told me I should never switch up
Switch up
Mama told me I should never switch up
Switch up
Mama told me I should never switch up
But I ain't stressin' I'm renovating the resume
Dedicated to Auntie just recognize me at heaven's gates
Checkin' that my debt is paid, pedigree full of renegades
Skeptic of my image but f*ck you to the percentage rates
I'll never settle, I'm rockin' so heavy metal
I'm fascinating the masses and dancin' around the devil
But ain't no reason to revel, until I edit the image
That we can render a wave while visually being different
So I, lay low appreciating the moment
Can I really be devoted depleted of serotonin
I'm greeted by every omen, my demons are getting swollen
Can't seem to get any sleep I'm seekin' some melatonin
And since day one, they said I'm destined to fail
So I just want my mom to get my check in the mail
But I ain't ever sellin' out to no executive press
So don't you ever second guess if the expression is real, its all me
Can you feel the vibe, can you feel the vision
Can you feel the mind in the composition
In every strand, with everything in my hands
And if this is who I am mama told me I should never switch up
Switch up
Mama told me I should never switch up
Switch up
Mama told me I should never switch up
Switch up
Sorry mama but I gotta switch up
Switch up
I know you told me I should never switch up
Switch up
Sorry mama but I gotta switch up
Switch up
I know you told me I should never switch up
But then I went developed another name for me
I really hope she ain't ashamed of me
It was meant as an escape for me
But through it all it just elevated the pain in me
And I tell her I ain't ready to fight it
Then we rewind in her memory when I had meningitis
Barely a month in the world, she was afraid I would die
And then she tells me I'ma make it like the day I survived
But I ain't healthy, and nobody can help me
When everyone around me is focused on getting wealthy
And I ain't ever felt free, afflicted by the struggle within
While I'm continuously drownin' in my puddle of sin
Lost
No way of catchin' my fall
With all the stress and the pressure I barely manage to crawl
So I'm reflecting on whether it's time to this give this shit up
But mama told me I should never switch up
