[Verse 1]

Twelve fifty nine

Too much on my mind

Passing thru the lights

While I’m looking for a sign

Tiptoeing the line

Chaos maybe Zion

A cat may look like a king, but

He is not the lion

Somewhere between the drunken place

And the sunken place

Find myself emotionless

Like Tim Duncan face

Or Kawhi Leonard

I’m Searching for the truth

That’s a five percenter

I Pray so much I think

I need some knee replacements

Actions speak so loud that

I don’t need a statement

Fake niggas can’t be next to me

Can’t be adjacent

Somehow present concurrently

Mind being vacant

Then I make a left

At the next light

Hoping that my next right

Keep me in the best the best light

And these are introspective bars

While I’m cruising in my car

Underneath the moon and stars (look)


[Hook]

Bending corners

Bending corners

Bending corners

Bending corners

I’m just riding by myself

This is therapy for me

I don’t need nobody else


[Verse 2]

Went from alero to impala bruh

Southernplayalistic to the Carter one

Went from a student to scholar bruh

Went from a peasant to T'Challa bruh

Missed a couple tithes that

I should’ve paid

I Missed a couple funerals

I should’ve made

Lotta pressure on me man

I should’ve caved

Enough mistakes for my girl

To write a Lemonade

Two, I got a son

On the way, number two

God on the phone

The devil got my number too

I stop at Chick-Fil-A

And cop a number two

Got a chick in L.A

She got my number two

Then I make a left

At the next light

Hoping that my next right

Keep me in the best the best light


[Hook]

Bending corners

Bending corners

Bending corners

Bending corners

I’m just riding by myself

This is therapy for me

I don’t need nobody else


[Verse 3]

So much on my brain

How do I maintain

I know niggas who deal wit mo

Really can’t complain

Got so much to lose

Still so much to gain

Winners win and losers lose

Man that’s just the game

Momma got that pain

Energy be drained

I know that she battling

And somehow still the same

Who was there when them

Four cops beat my ass (momma)

Who was there when I fell asleep

And made car crash (momma)

Who was there when I failed

Every college class (momma)

Kept me check, ain’t let me

Slip ain’t pass (momma)

So I don’t care when

They call me momma's boy

I’m tryna feed the table

Middle man at Benihana’s boy

I don’t want the fame

That shit for the lames

You can have the watch

You can keep the change

And these are introspective bars

While I’m cruising in my car

Underneath the moon and stars (look)
