[verse]

Skin as dark as my thoughts is

This nappy-headed kid came in this world like a whirlwind

Something like Dorothy but when I click these

New Balance heels, All I feel

Is that I'll never make it home again

Under these dim stars in this Maryland sky

Knew it would take me more than two arms to reach that high

Some people tell me it’s been too long

Or maybe I'm too headstrong

But this shit been in me since my mama had named me Marquann

I seen the forks in they tongues, the shed skin just wasn’t enough

My eyes wide shut

Took me a sec to see, inevitably

The grass is really only greener 'cause it’s fake as fuck

I keep that weed killer clutch

In my garden of Eden, been dodging heathens

And feelings at the same time

Y'all wanna link and build, I'm hoping that they don’t hit my line

Y’all say that y’all feel, I must be numb to a lot

'Cause what be giving y’all thrills some shit I probably forgot

Maybe it’s all of the pot or I'm just underwhelmed

Remember days when I was at the helm

Runnin' round with my three favs

Traded in our money for some time like a Motorola prepaid

Pushing ourselves to make a scene

In a place where there wasn’t a sound

I really didn’t wanna let the city down

I never wore no cap and gown, music was all I had

Diss my math, I'd only knuckle up if you said my raps are trash

But never that, come too correct

Ginóbli with the euro step, Curry with the three

So pardon me if I talk my shit

But deep inside, I don’t feel no ease, it’s really all regret

These demon’s chase, I gotta catch my breath

Cold winds

Angels
