session ten - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I booked a therapy session, I'll be an hour late

Walk in the office, I'm hiding, don't wanna show my face

Never thought I'd need help, dawg, and I'm ashamed

But I gotta fix the problem living in my brain

You can lead a horse to water, you can't make him drink

Cities burn to the ground when I get time to think

Tequila handle for coping, throwing up in the sink

Instant replay, every time I take a blink

What's the biggest issue? Know it's me, dawg

Thinking I can fix it with tissues and some weed, dawg, nah

Nah, I know it's deeper than that

Conducting therapy with every line, it's deepеr than rap

Heavy burden that I keep on my back, I sleep on my back

So paralyzing dreams of thе past, it's keeping me sad

I know I'm disappointing my dad, my momma stay mad

But out of all the options I had, the one I chose got me glad

Uh, this the point of no return, huh?

It's so many lessons on my own I gotta learn, huh?

But I always been good at taking notes

So when I set sail, I know my ship will stay afloat

[Chorus]

I just needed time

Space to heal my mind

Clouds passing me by

And I think I'll be fine

The world goes round and round

There's color and there's sound

I'm still holding me down, so if I'm holding you up

I'll try and figure it out

[Verse 2]

I figured out the eye of my object

Peripheral vision, I'm putting paces in the process

Plotting out the points and pointing north, I follow stars and

I been poignant with my prose, but I suppose that I should pause that

I'm focused on myself, I'm close to getting better

Heavenly choirs of angels singing to me

Praying like a pastor or a prophet or a missionary

Look up being human and you'll find me in the dictionary

I been like a visionary

[Bridge]

Pretty future where I ain't got nothing wrong with mind

That's a good world, good world

I live in the real world, real world

But I know I could have that
