I don’t want your hand while i’m treading water

I don’t want your plan if i get the offer

The bridge is out i jumped on in

Ya climbed on land i never bothered

Never bothered, we waste tonight complain tomorrow

Never get it right if ya wait to start it

Throwing away a life don’t make a martyr

Losin all ya fights won’t make ya harder

My momentum lost on dopamine

Oppo cost keep slowing me

Nothing wrong supposedly

I don’t want much hope in me

Or knots up on the rosary

All of your climb seemed overnight

My door won’t bother opening

(SOLANA)

Take the cuffs off

Dopamine go

What i got left

I don’t even know

Chasin my wants

Refuse to get lost

This ain’t right

I work too hard

I just need time maybe, time maybe

I wrap my head round it oh so tight

What can I do? Pullin out hair

It don’t fit, it just ain’t fair

(Allen Echo)

I’m next to all these flowers all their radiance and power

Watch em growing in the sun swear they raising by the hour

As i wilt away, swore to myself i ain’t built this way

What if i doubt my ability, Matter a fact i been feelin lame

All of their growth intimidates

Build then fall then disintegrate

All of my jobs are incomplete

All i want will dissipate

I tried growin up just. to be. Just. to. be. You

What if my time runnin out on my prime yeah what do we. do

(SOLANA)

I don’t wanna be left back

I don’t wanna get looked over

If anything I ever wanted

Was to sing, and you were here

Hustling for what I hold close

Time’s a thief and I don’t know

What i got left

What’s my chances

The feeling’s fading

(Allen Echo)

Cynical nonsense fill up my lungs

Sick of this process gettin all stuck

Given all my life to make this work

Still with that time I’m feelin all rushed

How do they want me to mean that smile

How do they want me to fill that cup

I see the storm coming even while

My skyscraper’s still building up

Building up, further from the great unknown

Living for the bigger picture but I couldn’t finish a.brush stroke

Ponder on the past

Hold myself to perfect

Nothing here will last

I should just observe it

(SOLANA)

Take the cuffs off

Dopamine go

What i got left

I don’t even know

Chasin my wants

Refuse to get lost

This ain’t right

I work too hard

I just need time maybe, time maybe

I wrap my head round it oh so tight

What can I do? Pullin out hair

It don’t fit, it just ain’t fair
