[Verse 1]

Dear people i’ve tried to reach

Ones who seem so far from me

Imma continue to try for my comfort, stay alive

I can put on my cologne, chain, durag, and matching set

With my voice i change the tone

But you can force a connection

And you can’t change a perception

Dear people that i have reached

Ones that seem so close to me

I still feel a disconnect, everything inconsistent

Cause everything is lininng up,should be closer than we are

I can try, and try again

But you can’t force a connеction

And you can’t force redirection


[Chorus]

Maybе my standards are too high

Am i too good or too bad now?

Is it me doing everything wrong?

Begs the question

Raises the question…


[Verse 2]

Dear the one i reached maybe too far with

Only a matter of time before we caved in

Just too new, just too fast

Different ambitions and definitions on the relationship at hand

Feels like i pull muscle everytime im reaching with my hand

We both gave chance after chance

Ain’t no different circumstance

Not saying i’m always right, but i fall asleep at night not regrettin’ nun, forgettin’ nun, wait for the sun

And me, Mr. JRJ

Im so scared that just one day i’ll look back and hate myself

Forget all the things i felt

Hope I’m different by adult

So close, but can’t reach that far

With the ones i share my blood, have i even reached at all?

Got so little, but so much

One good day feel like a rush

Wonder if my heads too free, or if it’s just only me

I just take it day by day with the inner monologue i say

They think they’ve read me like a book

Right…
