[Verse 1]

You call me genius, I'm just editing the metadata

My end goal is maybe end up in a legislature

Papa always say my intellect could insurrect a nation

I just hope I don't lose my message in my presentation

Cause I don't think they understand it, Ignoring all the signs

Cause I'm living on a tangent

I can't think straight, pulling my weight like calisthenics

It's no wonder my generation is worried 'bout the planet

From lack of discern we got pandemic

Reminisce on back-a-when my main concerns was academic

Back when my behaviour was seen as recalcitrant

Or even earlier when we learned the alphabet

Now it's guilt triggers, I can't even go to High Park

Cause what I did there was obscene and my mind's dark

I'm beginning to feel uneven in my heart

As though my inner self is Steven and I'm Marc

But, don't get it twisted

I weave through rows of com roots in former cotton fields slaves picked in

But ima step back and yield, I ain't playing victim

Like Blacks who hear what catholics did, but they remain Christian

For the simple necessity, might try to ascertain freedom

Or you're thinking maliciously, like ima grab a chain, bleed him

Yeah, that's your specialty or better yet, leave him buried

Like near Penetanguishene, when attention seekers

Believed they could hang me from the tree of their awful view

Mentally they could change what everybody thought from rumors

Then that seed poisoned all the fruit

And I was extricated from their social molecule

Misery loves company, depression love solitude, power start meshing when the pressure

My friend said he saw me as a role model

I hope he don't listen, cause my soul's so hollow

That's what I was thinking when that list was up

Music was the only reason I was living, but

Then my girl came along, gave me what I was missing and I saw the ways I was wrong

Made me act different

Felt like I'm running in place, since violations of space

My mind state has been "days since last incident"

Besides, fixing my ways, begat innocence

Anxiety came back like waves, it passed different

[Bridge]

I fall like that, the feelings go away then they crawl right back

It's just the waves, just the waves

It's just the waves, just the waves

I put it all on the track

The lyrics convey, and my soul comes back

It's just the waves, just the waves

It's just the waves, just the waves

[Verse 2]

This last one goes out to my man, Bucket Hat

Thank you for coming back, I understand

That you wasn't happy with the way I was distant

Pushing others away, I should've listened

You were right that the business was just takin' over

'Cause when me and bro drifted I didn't even notice

Now I'm tryna close the rift, I hope I'm making progress

I don't wanna start a tiff, I just hope you notice

Whenever you need to vent, I'm your pair of ears

You're my bestfriend in the world, I make it clear

You're the reason I got these fans, the reason Spectre's real

You're the reason I made it through

I know how it feels to be haunted by the thoughts, every second that pass

All the trauma you've endured, I see it in your past

But I promise you'll make it through, one foot after the last

Your oppurtunities in the future are so vast

I love you
