It’s your favorite local Felicia

Your second-favorite golden child

Third-favorite prodigal son

My mind’s a little wild

I been stuck inside this echo (echo echo) echo chamber

Gotta get my thoughts out of this echo (echo) echo chamber

That’s one down, got a few more to go

Need to figure out the reason for the scarlet and the snow

Couldn’t speak for a while, so my mind got to roam

Clark’s Quiet Hours were quite a storm under the dome

Dark then light then dark just like an Oreo, Lordy no

Don’t compare yourself to something people like, here’s the Holy Ghost

To remind you that your life’s a wave pattern like an orbital

So you already know how the story goes

Hi, I’m Stuart Clark and I don’t care what you call me

Just don’t say that I’m a rapper, cause I feel like a phony

As a matter of fact, nah let’s not even mention music

Cause I don’t wanna justify to you all of what I been doing

So let’s drop the subject

Ask about the hoodie and I’ll talk above it

Now I got so high off fake humility, you got me bugging

It’s a tug of war between my life and my career

Between my wife and foreign air

Between the echo and the clear

But let’s triple down on that train of thought, GaryV

But I’m just tryna shake it up a lil like Barry B

But berry be they calling me down in Buckhead

I’m tryna get enough bread to up and dip to a new space

Maybe hop across the pond

And then try to find a place where I feel like I belong

They say home is where the heart is, but I think that mine got lost

Somewhere between Gwinnett Place and College Mall

Man, I’m just tryna find where I’m meant to be

Pretty soon I’ll be moving to the CLT

So I’m hoping it’ll bring me all the clarity

That I been wanting since February, 2018, yeah

Never mind and whatever, I’m tryna write all these letters

And I think I mighta met her, so now I’m tryna get better

Cause feeling fettered ain’t for me, I’m shutting my eyes

So I don’t ever feel the need to shut the blinds

But that’s besides the point, I’m tryna get a Behind The Boards

I’m tryna get where I’m striving toward, so I don’t have to try no more

Cause all the hustle and the hurry ain’t really been working

So I’mma take my time and synthesize what I been learning

Man I just wanna let the art flow out

Without the thoughts in my head ever slowing me down

So I’ll take the essentials and eliminate the rest

By the time the cycle finishes, I’ll be at my best, yeah

This the current situation at hand

I’m just trying to figure out the next step of the plan

There’s a lot I haven’t told you and it’s not okay

So let’s plan to catch up in about eighty days

Yeah
