[ Featuring Mandako, FD Jackson ]
All these hours put away, my fingers no longer bleed Using muscle memory, close my eyes, I
Finally breathe away the stress As I'm plucking on my six string
People started listening as I delve into the darkness
Purse my lips and let it seep, make the sadness sound melodic
Yeah, I know that we're unique
All these strings that I've replaced, the frets my fingers have erased
That's love, it's like swimming in molasses
Dry wood covered in matches, left the cat around the canvas
Now you're staring at the prints of a colorful aesthetic
Stained yellow, red, and pink
Been shifting through dimensions framed by worlds my words created
I've been spending hours writing, sample chomping and curating
Crafting carefully from the verses to the adlibs
Heal a shattered soul, glue it back with burning passion
The fire in my eyes can't subside, I got a vision
Cutting through the noise cautiously with precision
I do this all for me, doesn't matter if you listen
Focus on artistry, bare my soul with every take
You don't gotta understand or like anything I make
Those who get it will get it, everyone else will fade away
Only do this for the art and that will never change
Well I long to be longed as I'm singing my song
The only thing that brings me shame is fame
Be as famous as fame can be
Whole wide world watch you wait on TV
Except when they don't because sometimes they won't
Well I long to be longed as I'm singing my song
The only thing that brings me shame is fame
Be as famous as fame can be
Whole wide world watch you wait on TV
Except when they don't because sometimes they won't
All these hours put away
Fame
