Bear with me, I need you to bear with me
[Verse 1]
My...only conviction IS self-expression
What...it's therapeutic when I felt depression
What...but if my music is self-expression
What's the reason internally that I'm dealt with questions?
Like...Where I'm going, what I'm doing next
I'm human, I'll keep it true to what my mood reflects
This my fifth drop of Hip Hop
Last EP was like a pit stop to let you know how shit's got
Uh. I'm tryna branch out the sound, homie
And not this conversation 'cause you been around for me
Uh. Heaven forbid you look down on me
When I tell you I'm done with the underground, homie
It's better said first - To all my people that would web surf
Hear my music and make it spread first
Grow with me, uh. Roll with me, uh
Through the highs and lows, you reaching my goal with me, uh
Bear with me, I need you to bear with me (4x)
[Verse 2]
It's either...shallow content or personal feel?
It's either...hella conscious or commercial appeal?
It's either..."Fuck that nigga" or the version I feel's
The one before the buzz - I swear that version was real
Simply chase a dream...
Of making music that one day you'll hear the nation sing
Trying to create some type of space between
Such a basic thing - If it sounds good
And it feels good - And it's got a purpose that I still should
That's my rule of thumb - I'm strictly pulling from
But I'll deliver, my nigga, my silver bullet's young
Spot my DNA - My fingerprints here
I ain't gotta convince you, you know I'm sincere
Music made to be felt...
Inside a box like neighbors we dwell
Fuck that, I'm made to rebel, what
Grow with me, uh. Roll with me, uh
Through the highs and lows, you're searching your soul with me, uh
Bear with me, I need you to bear with me (4x)
Hook (2x)
Bear with me, I need you to bear with me
I've grown a little bit since the last time
Bear with me, I need you to bear with me
And I promise that this moment is the last time
[Verse 3]
Yo, that chip on my shoulder ain't actually a chip
It's a fragment of a diamond and it's lasted me this trip
Visualize this journey, it's the path that we depict
Getting wisdom from this old head, naturally we clicked
He said, "Fortune favors the bold, better get bold, nigga"
Straightforward as fuck, no speak in code nigga
Uh. Bad habits die never
And like them good relationships you watch the ties sever
You could rewrite your story, or life will write it for ya
Or you could bet on success and let it hide it for ya
Don't wanna go there - I'm at the crossroads between...
Everywhere and nowhere, that position ain't so rare
David said, "Pick a side and run with it"
"And if you ain't decisive that's saying you done with it"
I'm far from done with it, I promise I come with it
Was busy looking for guidance but I was the one with it
I'm saying...
Bear with me...I'm saying...
Bear with me...
I need you to bear with me
