[Intro]

Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)

Just how we do it, yeah

[Verse]

Time pass and I'm agin' but ain't growin' up

I fear that I'm the uncle who ain't showin' up

I fear the weight of all my words gettin' lighter

And the promises I made ain't been holdin' up, mmm

The future holdin' somethin' that could traumatize

Is that disappointment in my mama's eyes?

Wanna quit my job 'cause I got big dreams

And bring up out a life that I prophesized, mmm

Used to doin' what I say that I will, but

It's different when it isn't payin' your bills

Too broke to start a family, if I die right now

Ain't nothin' that I gave in my will, mm

I'm the golden child but I'm lackin' the gold, 'cause

The minе was a path of my own

I ain't good at plannin' routes so, we might be lost

And to my namе all I have is my soul, mm

I wonder: is it me who couldn't keep 'em around or

'Cause I couldn't keep my feet on the ground?

I'm always on the move, tryna run out my shoes

Never there for who's needin' me now

The thought I might let 'em down, it robs me of my R.E.M at night

I'd be fine if I accepted advice

But I'm far too proud to take the help when I could do it myself

In my mind, they won't ever be right

I'm too hard headed, I bet my skull weight a ton if you check

A heavy body part, second to the one in my chest

When they dissectin' me and turn my bones into ash

You'll find I was more than my flesh

Apologies ain't what they need from me but, Imma share it in case

In the mirror I've been scared of my face

I don't recognize who I've been becomin', I'm concernin' myself

The result to always makin' mistakes

I hope the karma kinda took me 'cause I know she comin' to visit

What happens isn't none of my business

If I had it my way, I'd be spared 'cause I wasn't aware

When I learned I just wanted to fix it

I don't want a favor 'fore I fix all the flaws in my ways

Cleanin' up my act so it's spotless in case

It's time for me to go and heaven callin' me up

I don't wanna see no lock on the gates, huh, yeah
