[Verse 1]

I'm at the point where anyone I know just can't be trusted

I been conditioned by vicious cycles of family grudges

Goddamn, it sucks when you sink in the shoes you standing up in

So then you pray to God, hoping His blessing hands'll rush in

And maybe provide some guidance towards a source of light

And the Heavenly doors divide to eliminate wars inside

Of my own head, my life's a battlefield where most just don't tread

This dark cloud's got me discouraged, all of my hope fled

Anger's revved up like a moped circling blocks

Pressure's on, urging to pop, no reversing the plot

You know how many niggas I wanna send to church in a box?

You know how many bitches I done dated that turned into thots?

Plenty, no doubt, too many to count

Hoes tryna empty accounts, they itchin' for clout, they'll piss on your crown

I'm clearly injured with no Band-Aid, so I take the wound

Next time, I trust myself instead of putting faith in you

[Chorus]

And that's the only way it's gon' be

I ain't got too many homies, you know me

This should all be good but it ain't right now

I wish I could hit pause, hold up, time out (Time out)

And that's the only way it's gon' be

These cold nights are creepin' on me, it's lonely

This should all be good but it ain't right now

I wish I could hit pause, hold up, time out (Time out)

[Verse 2]

If I could go back to all of my past mistakes

I would just smash the brakes, you live and you learn, it burn, if that's the case

Then this is the moment that I climb from the casket then I rise through the ashes

And I find inner passion 'cause my time isn't passin'

No time soon even though I'm bruised, I'm tryna reach

Greatness and I hope I do, this low-light blues

Is tryna creep on me, so I proceed with both eyes glued

Wide open, I must thrive, y'all niggas know my roots

Money can buy a lot of things, but it don't buy truth

It took me years to find this shit out, had my whole mind spooked

So now I'm tryna dig myself up out a hole I put myself in

For years, I lived inside of Hell's den, wonder who else been?

It's like my soul is meltin' and bein' poured in a witch's pot

And I just sit and watch as all of my riches rot

Is this real? Or maybe I'm perceiving reality wrong

Can't even recognize myself 'cause my sanity's gone

[Chorus]

And that's the only way it's gon' be

I ain't got too many homies, you know me

This should all be good but it ain't right now

I wish I could hit pause, hold up, time out (Time out)

And that's the only way it's gon' be

These cold nights are creepin' on me, it's lonely

This should all be good but it ain't right now

I wish I could hit pause, hold up, time out (Time out)
