[Intro]

Ah Gutdamn it man

(It’s that shit?)

You gotta stay strong man

(You got that shit?)

This that feel good shit homie

Word


[Chorus]

Y’all niggas tell lies man I’d rather stay wise

In the event of my demise I’ll be dancing with the stars

Y’all niggas tell lies I ignore your advice

I’m an indigo child I’d rather listen to the stars

Y’all niggas tell lies man I’d rather stay wise

In the event of my demise I’ll be dancing with the stars

Y’all niggas tell lies I ignore your advice

I’m an indigo child I’d rather listen to the stars

Y’all niggas tell lies!


[Verse]

I feel like shedding tears when — I look at my past life

Look at the present and just see how a nigga risen

Blessings full of lessons thank God that I’m breathing

It’s a different season, sun is risen, tell pops he forgiven

We had beef for the longest time

A nigga might go vegan

You ain’t visited in centuries so now you forbidden

To talk about how I’m living

Where was you when moms was barely breathing

Working two jobs just feed us, cloth us, pay the fees when—

I ain’t even like school

I just wanted to rap and then open up a delicatessen

My best great decision

Fuck your assets, I see visions of mansion

That I’m gonna be building with my mom dukes not you

(Fire!)

Love you but you not cool

Could have wasted my time on archeology or law

But I don’t dig that no more

Matter fact fuck the law, I need platinum plaques

And not degrees up my wall


[Chorus]

Cause Y’all niggas tell lies man I’d rather stay wise

In the event of my demise I’ll be dancing with the stars

Y’all niggas tell lies I ignore your advice

I’m an indigo child I’d rather listen to the stars

Y’all niggas tell lies!


[Verse]

Mama say

“Anything you put your mind to is gonna happen

Think positive, believe in yourself, quit slacking

Trust your confidence, don’t be wack and—

Cut off everybody and everything that sets you back man“

Remember back when, fifteen year old Talé had acne

Total discomfort was my only reaction

Every time a dime looked at me

Not knowing she was feeling my style, smile or accent

Hit my first joint, things got a little clearer

Looked into the mirror and realized I was an angel

Spread my wings then I flew

Fearless is how grew

I’ve been on the move, obstacles ain’t nothing new

Not scared of taking risks

Love, Love

Chip off the old block

Pops got hoes and mom’s got holes in her heart

But she never seems empty

Emulating her is the only thing that helped me

Many are the times that I thought that I would end it

Look at me now

I’m alive, grown, unapologetically authentic

Feels good, Woo
