[Intro]

I start to wonder

Why time moves so slow

No matter how much I implore


[Verse 1]

The thoughts are cloudy

In the marijuana sky, but it started raining molly

It got me feeling sorry while I'm feeling on myself

Cause I don't know this bitch name but I'm feeling on her breast

I know it ain't right, but in this state I don't care

A whole week went past, I ain't gone nowhere

Hotel rooms crushing pills and menus

Daughter sending me messages saying "Daddy, I miss you"

But in this condition I don't think she need to see me

Ain't slept in four days, and I'm smelling like seaweed

Problems in my past haunt my future and the present

Escaping from reality got me missing my blessings


[Pre-Chorus]

Sent a couple G's but that make it no better

And now I got habits that ain't getting no better

And it ain't that easy tryna get all together

Been stressed for so long, think depression done set in


[Chorus]

It's time for me to clean it up

I came too far to fuck it up, like

It's time for me to clean it up

I came too far to fuck it up, like


[Verse 2]

Pops left mom when I was only 18

So rightfully that meant I had to be the man of things

And by 28, mom was damn near homeless

And now I'm 31, she 'bout to fucking cop her own shit

Triple beam dreams brought me nothing but nightmares

Thought that I was helping but the system don't fight fair

Cases had me locked up, mama always wrote me

Pops my only visit, they the only ones that loved me

That's why I feel bad, popping Givenchy tags

Knowing that this tee could feed my nephew for a week

For material I'm weak, acting like I don't care

I spend it all on clothes, then something is wrong there


[Pre-Chorus]

I sent my mom some G's, but that makes it no better

'Cause now I got habits that ain't getting no better

And it ain't that easy tryna get it all together

I been stressed for so long, think depression done set in


[Chorus]

It's time for me to clean it up

I came too far to fuck it up, like

It's time for me to clean it up

I came too far to fuck it up, like
