Rocking on these new jams got me feeling myself
Been wondering who can help me out of this Hell (Who)
Remember Momma had a sit down, talked to me 'bout my health
Nobody wants to see the boy in a coffin, oh well
Guess I'm well, better than before I suppose
Writing prose to make my money grow, you know how it goes (Facts)
But more important than growth in the financial sense
I'm trying to write something that motivates substantial growth
In any man, woman, or however identified (True)
However you've been putting in work, I hope its recognized
No matter what image you reflect, hope you ain't objectified
I'm hoping any moments I've slipped up have been rectified
Like Raichu I electrify, my voltage flipping the breaker
Martinis on ice, so cold, my fingers freezing the whole time I grip the shaker
Got Vans on my feet, but I'm not a skater
Pick your poison, I'll outspit you in any flavor of Venom you prefer
Me and the beat are symbiotic like that
Make them rock back forth, 'cause how I rap is hypnotic like that
But let's get on the right track (Talk to 'em, talk to 'em)
There's only one joint left
It's one that I've been saving for months
I guess I'm just trying to get accustomed to feeling my best
The weight is coming down again
And now is not the time to rest
I guess, what I'm saying is
I'm going back to what humbled me
Can't forget the times I would stumble
But the pressure never crumbled me (Nope)
This diamond went from rubble to luxury
On the beach in Galveston sipping bubbles and its peachy
Any issues I had before are beneath me
Doesn't mean I won't speak on 'em, better yet preach (Okay)
If you feel like you can relate
Then I'm hoping this song will reach you
Even if you've lost so much
That your heart's enveloped in frost
To refuse warmth is too great of a cost
You have made it through too much to give up (Yup)
I've got a mountain of examples to follow and live up to
My parents come first, my grandparents come after
My brother, raising his kids, is someone who I've seen
Master the art of tackling adversity (True)
Both of my sisters too
But if you knew me already, then that's shit you already knew
Any who, if you're ready, boo
I could be the Fred to your Betty Boop
I hope you're hearing this
(I hope you're hearing this)
I am a calm man, but am not
When I'm fearing this loneliness I've been facing for months
I hope you're hearing this
(I hope you're hearing this)
A lost man who jots his feelings in complex rhythms
But I think its time you started hearing this
(I hope you're hearing this)
I'm just hoping the next time that you see me
You see me for who I've always been in your dreams
That me is who I'm sitting with daily as of lately
Looking back at a version of me I almost erased
I'm in a much better place
But that's all I'm gonna say
You can see it for yourself some day
For now I'm just cruising along the highway
Thinking 'bout all the things that went sideways
Funny how that's what got me to drive straight
