[Intro]

Hoping that I get the chance to see a better place

Mental state unlock the gate so I can get away

Ash left from burnt memories of darker days

Got this high to numb my soul to help avoid the pain, yea

[Verse 1]

Got these kids was raising kids and their age just a number

Daddy high and mommy drunk

Dem babies watching sober

Poverty and melanin create a thick aroma

Think I smell it now even though I'm getting older

Possessed by this demon and he made a new persona

On the road to riches and the ride is almost over

Thinking bout my life and I'm picturing my brother

Damn, I think he five

Recalling moments hoping wishing he was alive

Then he came into existence and I couldn't believe my eyes

My little brother, I love him

He wrecks my nerves without trying

Unjust aggression that's given

Was from the years of without him

Where I mentally crying

I was too much for my sisters

I chilled alone at the bottom

Said when I leave was out

Now I'm internally dying

I see myself in my brother

Hoping the same doesn't happen

Cuz I'm in college

I'm living

I'm falling into temptations

Not even thinking I was asking

For another black male in this system

I’m trippin damn

[Chorus]

Ain't no tears

For all this sorrow

All those years

And all that cargo

And yet I miss

The years I borrowed

Oh fuck this pain

And let my heart go

[Verse 2]

Left my little sister with the burden of my past

Share a neglectful mother her gambling is bad

Don't even get me started when I'm talking about our dad

I don't got the patience

I don't want to look back

I’m feeling sorry I left

But I still stay where I'm at

I love it up here in Oz

Now watch the wicked witch laugh

I killed my conscious

I'm flying

I'm high as hell

Chillen lying

I'm my dimension

I'm trippin

At least it's better than dying

And then I suddenly paused

Damn, I see my sister looking up to me when I'm gone

And still, it doesn't feel wrong

Fuck copping with my emotions

Yungin numb when he small

I got nothing left to give because right

Now you my all

Witness the Skvwalker fall

[Chorus]

Ain't no tears

For all this sorrow

All those years

And all that cargo

And yet I miss

The years I borrowed

Oh fuck this pain

And let my heart go

[Bridge]

I love it up here in Oz

I love it up here in Oz

[Verse 3]

Welcome to earth

You saw me come to this world

This baby boy gave mommy joy

Took her attention from her first little girl

Years later his good behavior

Would stand out from the rest

They all assuming prolly thinking

I would be with the best

But witness another victim

Falling into the system

Another black male struggling dealing

With his depression and weed smoke

In college trying to make it

And he knows that he can't choke

Been, working, rapping, coping

Like emotions are gone

Thinking maybe that it’s something in my heart feeling wrong

Thinking I should work to try and be like you

Caring for the family

Stand in my point of view

I’m very selfish

Can't help it

You always got what they need

Providing water for nurture I’m busy selling the seed

Always blazing up trees

Losing all my roots

Well maybe then I'll be free

Forgetting all this pain with the leaves that I breathe

[Outro]

Hoping that I get the chance to see a better place

Mental state unlock the gate so I can get away

Ash left from burnt memories of darker days

Got this high to numb my soul to help avoid the pain
