[Intro: Abstract]

Let me out, yeah

Let me out, yeah

Let me out, yeah

[Dialogue: Ms. Rachael Watson]

Can you elaborate on a personal connection to love?

[Chorus: Abstract]

These sober nights, when we dim down the lights

You and I made a home, know you changed my whole life

Threw a match to my plans, put your heart in my hands

And when I gave mine to you, you turned me into a better man

[Verse 1: Abstract]

With you I know I can take it anywhere

I can't stand your beauty, pullin’ up a chair

Let me stack this money then we outta here

Europe for the summer, I could take you there

Spend my time on you, but you know time is money

I do this all for you, no, they can't take it from me

I do this for the crew, that's my brothers overseas

For my sister, mother, father, to my family in the East

No, I see these rappers lost, everybody sound the same

No, y’all ain't ever leadin' 'less it's leadin' us astray

I stopped drinkin', started thinkin', gotta be a better way

Speakin’ through the universe with everything I say

No, y’all don't love no more, no, y’all don't feel a thing, y'all

Hopped up on some Xans, only way that y'all can sing

Yo, who the hell is talkin’? Is it y'all or just the darkness?

That the drugs inside you author? I been sober with my ink

[Chorus: Abstract]

These sober nights, when we dim down the lights

You and I made a home, know you changed my whole life

Threw a match to my plans, put your heart in my hands

And when I gave mine to you, you turned me into a better man

[Verse 2: Abstract]

You my light, my brightest star

I wished for you back when everything was dark

Keep me in orbit despite the gravity

Of the black hole that was born inside of me

Keep me on course through the mission I was given

Reason that I'm livin' biggest since the fission of my birth

You know I was supposed to die, but I'm thriving on this Earth

Must have been a reason why, who knew all that I was worth?

So I'ma make a change 'til my time's up (My time's up)

Staring at the range, I'ma climb up (I'ma climb up)

Show you our mistakes don't define us (Mistakes don't define us)

On the sunny side's where you'll find us (You'll find us)

Used to paint with pain on a different plane

I don't feel no shame, I learned how to change

But I had to get there through the flames

Don't compare no names, you can rest assured we ain't the same

Wanna be me, you can try

But your story isn't mine

[Chorus: Abstract]

These sober nights, when we dim down the lights

You and I made a home, know you changed my whole life

Threw a match to my plans, put your heart in my hands

And when I gave mine to you, you turned me into a better man
