[Verse 1]

Momma why you always running after me like I did ya wrong?

Momma I wish I could tell you what's going on

Momma I see tears in your eyes, I know that you hurting

Momma I want to believe that all your prayers been working

Momma don’t trust me too much but I get it, I do

Why's it so easy to lie than just tell the truth?

I hate how people want the drip more than they want a diploma

Screwed up at fourteen, thinking life was 'bout to be over

Playing life believing that I had the controller

But it’s in God's hands, He knew I ain't have the right motive

I know He show up, but I don't, and that ain't the quota

I'm out here living, and sinning, milly rock in Magnolia

I go to work, and make some planes fly

But I don't know what to do when I see my girl cry

Thought summer was bad, and then it turned into the autumn

Could be closer to my dad, but man I don't even call him

It’s like it’s me in here

It's like I’m stranded in a sea of fear

Hoping that the feeling clears

But it gets worse, and soon enough I'm in a sea of tears

Don't wanna sound messy but I need a miracle to appear

Pronto, God made me a point guard but I'm just not Rondo

Please call a lifeline before my life low

I wanna be free, you know I hate to lie low

Just tell the truth, what you gotta lie for?

[Verse 2]

You know that I can’t just let it go

Sleepless, speechless nights

Thinking 'bout the lights

I can't get no rest

I just wanna dream of you and me, you and me

Talking 'bout a trilogy, trilogy

Love how you so real with me

You're my anchor in the shifting sea

I can't be so certain

Hands behind that curtain

Heed my warnings, I got questions (yeah)

In the morning, all new blessings (yeah)

Gotta embellish it or I won't be good selling it

Love hearing of honesty but I'm not good at telling it

I wish you could just see my point of view

Then it'd make sense

[Verse 3]

It's always green on the grass on the other side

Leaving the past in the trash, that's another time, yeah

(Leaving the green on the grass, that's another line)

Now's the perfect time

(Keep coming back to the past, that's a troubled time)

It's always green on the grass on the other side

Leave it at that, nothing more for the road this time

(Leaving the green on the grass, that's another line)

That's another time

(Keep coming back to the past, that's a troubled time)

[Verse 4]

I seen better days, I seen better ones

Hard not to feel alone when the weather comes

Building up pressure, until I explode

How it plays out from there, only God knows

I have been hungry, and I have been full

I have had nothing, and I have worn wool

On the nape of my neck, like a cape 'bove the chest

But I'm not like a bird, or a plane, or a Superman

I am just me, and for me that isn't good enough

Worse than I ever was, worse than I ever was

Everybody talking 'bout my full potential

I don't even know the definition of that word you using

Essentially, "potential" coming off as useless
