HOOK:
Feel like the memory is split down the grain
The good turned bad, left to rampage
Over all the crying
I'm so over it
Yeah
VERSE 1:
Feelin’ like a starving artist
Tryna pay for my apartment
Takin’ pictures in the darkness
Frame by frame, sellin’ out markets
Like every beat I gotta make it
Still I’m stubborn, frustrated
I’m quarterbackin’, Joe Namath
Nickel and dimin’ all of these payments
I gotta balance the books
By writin’ a verse, performin’ a hook
Yeah my mob deep, got ‘em shook
You don’t know my name, don’t know what it took
This pain in the present I asked the reverend
For peace on this side of heaven
Need hope for my soul, I gotta let go
I’m rollin’ I’m prayin’ for sevens
Still I’m takin’ my chances
Checkin’ the mail for advances
It’s no problem, I don’t panic
I’m still here juke jammin’
Temptations I keep facin’
Feel like decades in the dessert
Just keep waitin’, I’m impatient
But I feel like I’m movin’ to better (Better things)
Lately I’ve been tryna smile homie, smile homie
That hasn’t happened in a while homie, while homie
I got a lot that’s on my mind homie, mind homie
And I just wanna feel alive homie, live homie
HOOK:
Feel like the memory is split down the grain
The good turned bad, left to rampage
Over all the crying
I'm so over it
Yeah
VERSE 2:
Don’t got time for the chit chat
Been tryin’ to get my lick back
Rewritin’ my verse, don’t spit that
No pillar of salt, don’t look back
Dropped out, I heard ‘em say
Fantasized’ I’d runaway
Low lights had me FML
Heart was breakin’, no 808
Been through major shit
I was burdened with yuh
Might call in for shifts
But I’ll never quit, nah
This my thesis I don’t need this
Might delete my pink slip
Got some demons, wrist is bleedin’
But it’s just a season
Losin’ the bruise
Fresh out the tomb, I gotta move, uh
Lettin’ ‘em snooze
Watch ‘em assume what I gotta prove, huh
Broken heart, in two parts
Sewed it back on my damn arm
Fallin’ down, shootin’ stars
You wish, I work when shit gets hard (That's facts)
Lately I’ve been tryna smile homie, smile homie
That hasn’t happened in a while homie, while homie
I got a lot that’s on my mind homie, mind homie
But I just gotta stay alive homie, live homie
