Tobi, I'm sorry I ain't been there for you

Call you my brother, show little to no care for you

But you know the drill, chasing women, seeking affection

Ignoring enemies in my immediate section

Praising me in they mentions

Became addicted to vapes I'm in a hazy dimension

We just two souls on our own journey

When it comes to your heart , I can only hope I'm worthy

Just being open, there are moments when I'm so worried

That I've let go of something legendary

And bro I'm tryna hold on but this world is extra scary

I'm sorry, but at thе same extremеly honored

That you would even make an album and still have me on it

You’ve done so much for me

How could I ever repay you

Hope you know when I'm with my girl I make it a point to replay you

And these rhyme schemes feel basic but the message is heavy

I hesitate to work on the soul tape ‘cause I don't know if I'm ready

‘Cause when we drop it, our lives gon' change

What if I become a slave to them iced out chains?

What if i forget everything that made me Thiago Frazier?

And we stop talking and go from compadres to strangers?

It weighs on my conscience ‘cause I love you, I trust you

Time and time again you've forced me out my creative bubble

And I don't want no trouble between us, I mean this

Don’t take cursing lightly but bro you's a fucking genius

Between your concepts and ethics, I look up to you

Came from Maryland, still got that young Houston thug in you

And yo, my pen getting cold ‘cause of my frozen clutch

But all this to say I hope we keep our souls in touch


[Verse 2: tobi]

I’m sorry, I feel for everything

I feel for everyone

I feel the fear that sets aside when words hurt more than guns

I feel the need to reach inside my cheek and find the holy one

I seek a peek inside the leaves of trees that heed and preach of sleeping beasts and molded rust

I’ve tried to keep my soul in touch, forbid myself by writing empty lines and empty cuts

I feel me crush, I feel me cry and I feel me lust

I feel me fall in a crutch hiding from the sun

Hiding for so long, lost the feeling of love

Biting for the cross, and scheming for applause

Fighting with a mask, please don’t make me fall

Am I really who I wanna be?

Am I really what I wanna see?

Am I really one to judge when I hear apologies of empty crusts and common fallacies?

I try to keep it brief

Thinking for so long I always fill the sheet of what I wish to breathe

If I’m on a island, I’m sure to be surrounded by eyes tryna diminish my very climate

Born on a rotten tree all I need is to climb it

So tell my momma this

This is my right, this is everything I worked for just give it time

Fighting with no pen all I need is my wrist to write

Calling myself a legend, thought I deserved that light

Lost all reverence, turned to bars and lines where I was doomed by my strife

Conclusions are assumed bout my identity and life

You don’t know the truth of hiding from the sun and it’s shine

Lies, destroy my very being I’m seeing different things then what they preaching

I’m meaning to sacrifice my very own needs and pieces

I’ve faced bloodied lines of legions minimal rest getting to me the pressure right on my chest

Seen her eyes filled with hatred and aiming at my neck

While I’m paving the mistakes I’ve made and sign em to the next

So when you smile just know I’ve reached a crest

Till next year beloved, I hope you know I’m blessed, yes
