[Hook]

If there’s one thing that I know

I’ve been blind to all my friends

Everywhere I ever go

I keep trying to defend

Something I don’t wish to

Me growing out of this is simply wishful

Thinking ain’t no issue

When I’m in the streets, I dry my eyes and look official

Loud by the fistful


[Verse 1]

This cool kid right here is no joke

This cool kid type professor woke, uh

Hoe, I’m still on the block in my burgundy coat

With a blindfold on I’ll still serve any foe

With my mind gone I still be superb with a flow

Still a python, right on

I’m on another level, bitch, I revel in the underground

I need no medals or metals to make me fucking proud

Give me an instrumental and a pencil, watch me buckle down

Then I’ll present with you with my mental, I’m not fucking ‘round

If there’s one thing that I know

I’ve been blind to all my friends

Everywhere I ever go

I keep trying to defend

Something I don’t wish to

Me growing out of this is simply wishful

Thinking ain’t no issue

When I’m in the streets, I dry my eyes and look official

Loud by the fistful


[Verse 2]

I’m sick of crying about my life

I know where I should go

To end this cycle, I must try

A different road

And I know that it sounds simple (yeah)

But progress is incremental

Guess I’m still the same face

Still the same everything every damn day

Stuck in a loop I can’t break

I keep running in circles

These rings ‘round my eyes keep on getting more purple

I stay on my back like a turtle

But this apathy’s hurtful

I must grab onto happiness like I actually deserve to experience more than this poorly written act

Crawling out of bed and then dreaming of getting back
