[Intro: Substance810]

How do you live without your heart inside your body, huh?

Huh?!

Fuck man

They ain’t felt what I felt


[Verse 1: Substance810]

I’m straddling invisible lines I can’t get through (get through)

At times I feel helpless, it’s not my choice if I get you

It’s my fault I walk in big shoes

But Imma ace these interviews, I changed more than my physical

Trying to put myself in the position of a little you

Staring at this cold world, oh so miserable

I wonder how you holding up, I’m barely getting through

And I don’t watch the news, everything’s getting skewed

I’m tripping if it’s minuscule

No, I ain’t trying to bend the rules

I missed my baby girl birthday, we in August, this was June

Real pain, don’t get it misconstrued (ha)

They tell me call your daughter (uh)

It ain’t that easy, and explaining just makes it much harder

She’s held hostage by strict orders

While I’m on the other side of invisible lines, trying to cross the border


[Hook]

Invisible lines, trying to cross invisible lines

Invisible lines, tiptoeing on invisible lines

Invisible lines, trying to cross invisible lines

Invisible lines, tiptoeing on invisible lines


[Verse 2: Pee Tzu]

Tzu, nigga

Yeah, unapologetic, walking on a tightrope

Probably drown in a glacier cuz the ice broke

Invisible lines, invisible am I

And if your pain ain’t the truth, then you live in a lie

God’s favorite, they usually have a hard time

Dig a hole for these rappers

Plus I add some

Suspended? They hate the color of my skin

Fuck a job, fuck a bitch, I’m trying to make amends

Sell peace, don’t walk in to no booby trap

You know weird ones that always trying to make the cap

You sleep on this, Imma roll on naps

The future is the past and I ain’t given daps

It’s string attached

To my hustle days, niggas thought I was soft but never pulled my weight

No metaphors needed, I’m just eating

My logic, is better than y’all reason


[Hook]

Invisible lines, trying to cross invisible lines

Invisible lines, tiptoeing on invisible lines

Invisible lines, trying to cross invisible lines

Invisible lines, tiptoeing on invisible lines


[Verse 3: Substance810]

I’ve been haunted by mistakes now for a decade

Imagine having to swallow your pride cuz your bed’s made

I paid the price when it comes to end game

For too long I’ve been blamed

I’m ‘bout to prove that men change

Still recovering from immense pain

Still in the dojo training with sensei

Trying to shape my life while I navigate it

Hard to start over and go back to basics

That was back in ‘09, the very first time I seen a line

America the land of the free

Where they stop you from seeing
