[Hook:]

I'm workin' five days out of the week

With only two days to rest so can you let me do me?

Let me smoke in peace

We can po' this drink

Talk about poetry

Give me head with ease, baby

I'm workin' five days out of the week

With only two days to rest so can you let me do me?

Let me smoke in peace

We gon' po' this drink

Talk about poetry

Give me head, don't tease baby


[Verse 1:]

Nigga quit your bitchin', ain't you sick of complaining?

All this milk and honey, don't take this life for granted

I be kicking my gospel in birkenstock sandals

Hate watching the news, seeing the world that we all dismantled

I ain't got no problems, I think we like freeing our mental

This life is far from simple, that's why I just pray to her temple

Pour water over her visions, then I attend to her garden

Whenever she give me the blessings, that part of my life's covered

Cut from that cloth that had to make heaven out of the struggle

Maybe that's the reason why they can't admire our hustle

Niggas always playing defense cause they want us in trouble

Instead of us living, getting money, on top of that still

[Verse 2:]

Let me give you more, I need some room inside my brain

All these feelings I've been holding, smoking, suppressing my pain

Maybe why I lost my focus, I still rose like a phoenix

How you confused by smoke and mirrors when we blow smoke on mirrors?

Embracing our demons, I'm living for multiple reasons

Melanin gave my life meaning, God made me a real nigga

Not James, but a giant peach therapeutic when I'm greiving

Helping me forget all my lows

Self doubt was stuntin' my growth

On Gwendolyn, I can't fold

Building my path from stones some chose to throw, for not knowing the worth that they hold

Learned to never overlook life, it could be worse

I was taught to get it how you live when you come from that dirt

In this world, ain't nothing for certain

Fuck a script, they love my improv on stage when I be workin'

I can hear voices behind the curtains

It's hard to find your purpose when you was raised on the surface

If you still livin, you got time to flourish
