[Intro]

Know when

I don't know when

I don't know when

I don't know when

I don't know (My power, I'll never need no one)

I don't know (My problem, I'll never need no one)

I don't know (My trauma, I'll never be comfortable)

I don't know

Look


[Chorus]

Slow down, the fast life is crazy

Those lights in that town is dangerous

I been tried, this lifestyle is not for you, you, you

Slow down, the fast life is crazy

Those lights in that town is dangerous

I know now, my love language solitude, 'tude


[Post-Chorus]

My power, I'll never need no one

My problem, I'll never need no one

My trauma, I'll never be comfortablе

My power, I'll never need no onе

My problem, I'll never need no one

My trauma, I'll never be comfortable


[Verse 1]

Look, look, yo, uh

Heavy is the head, I'm told, uh

Not too many know, invisible GOAT, uh

My intention with these women be pure

But my intention with these bitches just more

Look, lack of effort don't mean leave me alone

Just thinkin' 'bout what's next and we gettin' too close

Why should I expect any different results?

When the last one did me dirt fresh out of divorce?

Bullshit, that's why I don't force shit

That therapy talk shit feel like backdoor extortion

You thinkin' you've all healed and really, you gon' heal

You back on that— never mind, go back on this block list

Go back on that block list, she back on that block list

'Cause y'all could be anything, me, I gotta be cautious

Look, and I know it's exhausting

But I'm on this, I'd rather be single than double-cross shit


[Chorus]

Slow down, the fast life is crazy

Those lights in that town is dangerous

I been tried, this lifestyle is not for you, you, you

Slow down, the fast life is crazy

Those lights in that town is dangerous

I know now, my love language solitude, 'tude


[Post-Chorus]

My power, I'll never need no one

My problem, I'll never need no one

My trauma, I'll never be comfortable

My power, I'll never need no one

My problem, I'll never need no one

My trauma, I'll never be comfortable


[Bridge]

Tell me what you see

When you look at me

Eyes don't see the obvious

Love comes with a fee

My heart is on my sleeve

But eyes can't see what's obvious


[Verse 2]

Look, ninety thousand, two hundred and ten, yeah

My first album, I prophesied it then, yeah

Went from the carry-out to the Erewhon and back

With a back full of battle scars, it's a tragedy havin' friends here

Look, heavy is the head, I'm told, mm

Not too many know, invisible GOAT

Call it butter love, it's a slippery slope

Got me thinkin' 'bout what's next and who gettin' too close

My prime years, a prison of paranoia

Watched niggas I rhyme with gettin' killed and niggas record it

I'm talkin' to God less, my misery ain't important

My tears watered the flowers for thousands who need a garden, I'm blessed

I know my time's too precious

Gotta watch how I spend it, yeah

I know they watchin' the difference, I know they clockin' shit different, I got a lot to protect


[Chorus]

Slow down, the fast life is crazy

Those lights in that town is dangerous

I been tried, this lifestyle is not for you, you, you

Slow down, the fast life is crazy

Those lights in that town is dangerous

I know now, my love language solitude, 'tude


[Post-Chorus]

My power, I'll never need no one

My problem, I'll never need no one

My trauma, I'll never be comfortable

My power, I'll never need no one

My problem, I'll never need no one

My trauma, I'll never be comfortable
