[Verse]

Yeah

Lately, my emotions got me boxed in

No matter my age, trouble a constant

Cause, I just turned the corner on 30, like Klay Thompson

Yeah

And, none of these hardships gettin’ easy for me

I lost faith, so now I gotta see to believe

I’ve been losin’ myself, tryina find the one

How much fire is in the heart of a dyin’ sun?

Mama, I learned the hard way

That some of the main guys around me

Wouldn’t cry, without me

The company I’m keepin’ really treat me like spillеd milk

Damn

And only 2% remember how rеal felt

Yeah

So, what am I left to do, but question all of the people who claim to love me?

People claimin’ they give me peace, but take it from me

Friends sayin’ they friends, movin’ in strange ways

Botox and hella filler, to save face

Fuck that shit, cause I’ve been excusin’ a lot

20% on Rotten Tomatoes, we losin’ the plot

Things that you told me before, I promise, I never forgot

Man, after all of this shit

Explain to me how I still got lessons to learn

Why I’m back to waitin’ again for the blessings I earned

Women playin’ with me, I’m hangin’ on every word

No one talkin’ to me, unless I be textin’ ’em first

I just take it in stride and show you how empathy works

Yeah

People crossin’ me, like a tally, but who really counting?

Shoutout Daniel, forreal, he one of the realest around me

And my brudda that’s in the Bay, he’s a crash out

All of my words hold water, like a bad drought

And when I’m pourin’ out my heart, it’s Dasani Blue

I got Sapporo in my system and saké too

Droppin’ bombs, all true, I’m at war with the world

Peace and happiness from a wifey, that’s more than a girl

The type love to make me feel like we Bonnie and Clyde

I’m Johnny Cash, how we already walkin’ the line

I’m tryina show you who I really am, on the inside

[Verse]

Look

I struggle celebratin’ my accomplishments, cause to me they an obligation

I hate compliments, cause to me it’s just confirmation

Of achievin’ things I’m tellin’ myself that, really, I should’ve done already

Shorty hearin’ me vent, saying, “that must be heavy”

“Never bein’ proud of yourself, only feelin’ relief”

“That’s insane to me, the way that you dealin’ with grief”

She said I’m makin’ good points, I’m leadin’ the league

Yeah

In and out of that conversation, like double-double

We flushin’ it down the drain, like Scrubbin’ Bubbles

Me and twin locked in, we double trouble

Open messages, in a bottle they gotta be stuck

I’ve been drinkin’ the pain away, it’s a lot in my cup

My needs for love are takin’ me out of my ways

Hella blank stares, instead of me drownin’ in praise

I’ve been fuckin’ up, payin’ too much attention to views

Bein’ honest, the music really ‘bout pressure to prove

But, without a better reason, then I’m destined to lose

I got producers makin’ me beats, with they neck in a noose

Yeah

I murdered every fuckin’ beat that they sent to me

And after all this time, I still got a good heart

I still got respect for women who hurt me before

The love I gave you back then doesn’t hurt anymore

Of course I wasn’t perfect, I was still learnin’ before

Sometimes we lash out at the ones that we love

Collateral Damage, throwin’ me under the bus

If my mother is speakin’ up and she’s sayin’ something

Then that’s sayin’ something

Friends tellin’ me, “don’t worry, there’s fish in the sea”

As if I didn’t swim an ocean for women who gladly burnin’ they bridges to me

[Outro]

Hardly changes things inside

Least I’ll say I tried

Swallowed my pride

It’s clear, in my mind

At least, I’ll say I tried
