Verse 1:

I’ve been looking at this world sideways

This shit weird like a side pocket misplaced

People poking on your girl nowadays

Swipe right then apply for the taste

Whole thing like a muppet with the glove spaces

Acting out the roles on the front stages

Making money like clowns in a dunk tank

How the fuck does it feel to get enough wages?

Inconsiderately ill in these Trump cages

In a minute we can feel it like it’s contagious

All this bull they be filling up thе front pages with

Speak out, they hit you with thе pump gauges

They shoot! No longer with the court cases

Poor decision, ever poorer with the moral placement

Quick pause for the whole occasion..

I made myself the boss for the motivation

Send my love to the post office

I ain’t here to lose time like I’m Pharcyde

Give my, cardiovascular muscle to the hopeless

At least I see the most light up in the dark side

Henny lit, shit talking

I got a whole lot more than a rocket in my pocket

Got a whole lot more than some knowledge in my noggin

I’m rocking again baby

Chorus:

I’m looking at this world sideways, sideways, sideways

I’m looking at this world sideways, nowadays, nowadays

(Repeat)

Verse 2:

I never meant to step on the feet

I mean’t to keep a step to the beat

Both of us like a post office, something to deliver

This time.. time got no second to peep

To see it like the windmill, the up & down

I’m tired of the fixed bill, the underground

They could, stencil the sound, but the intent

Could cut the internet troll or toughest crowd in ten

Paint a picture vivid, you can smell this coffee brewin

The brown sugar, but this time, there’s nothing left to ruin

I post up, the pulp fictionesque dress code

Pocket full of the cess, stress way gone

Heart full of intents, success weighing on

With all of its attempts, can’t even test phase one

I used to wanna kick it like Solange

Looking so flames, trail setting off alarms

How this gon’ win when it ain’t right within?

The whole point of love is to live like the hymn

The push came to shove, the beef turned to broil

The hate fed the beast, the beast fed the soil

I turn my cheek, facing the wind

Walking a little faster with a pace to get in

Cause this overtime got me complacent

I made a little tape I can push state to state to again

Chorus:

I’m looking at this world sideways, sideways, sideways

I’m looking at this world sideways, nowadays, nowadays

(Repeat)

Lord can you hear me praying my prayer?

Lord can you hear me, answer my prayer
