[Verse 1:]

Take it back, take a breath, yeah, we used to rap in the shed

Packs of the lead and the paper and the pen, often my head was a vision, let's not pretend

No one was on my wavelength, and that's with all due respect

Project after project, they claim it's my best

No substance, no depth, what do you expect? The group didn't last long

Too many opinions and whack songs, too many decisions, no traction

Those friends I had to abandon, to protect and perfect that vision in a sense

I guess, I didn't like the freedom that I lacked, and the people they attract

And I just wanna rap, and it kinda makes me sad looking back

At what we once had, a moment and a dream, if you know this follow me

There was no in between, you either loved it or hated

Or thought we were playing or boring and basic, you catch what I'm saying

It's more of the same shit, than I dropped Past Tense Poetry

When I fell in love, and I'm still in love, it's that feeling of euphoria

So I poured my motherfucking heart out, but it's starting to get dark now

Who the fuck you think Back Seat Thought was about bitch

He left me no choice shit, it's a coin flip

50-50 chance if we get ahead, but they on my tail

So I never got a chance, I expand, I apologize in advance

Take it with a grain of salt, take it with your whole hand

I don't even know, I don't even motherfucking understand

This time we coming a little different, each track is something a little different

Then I'm dipping, cause I know if I drop a project dawg

They not spinning, I know they not spitting

That's what I say to the opposition listen, I'ma leave and come back

But for now, this my perception of perfection, it reflects my adolescence

It reflects my adolescence, it reflects my adolescence
