about

2021

lyrics

Faced with reality acceptance of the present/
For so long I tried to neglect it, my fragile pride tried to protect it/
Whole time in my mind it was hectic/
I can’t count the number of times that I died on the inside/ s
Sometimes it's hard to sleep at night my eyes wide/
It's 2021 I’m runnin thru the sun, it's a beautiful day/
Inside I’m smiling outside is violent/
Too many of my people dying i can hear the island crying/
That’s why I’m trying to make a way/
I gotta transport with this jansport fulla diamonds/
This top shelf rhyming must attract clients/
If I packaged the truth would you buy it or deny it?/
Ffascinating how u mistake weakness for kindness/
My purpose is underlying i been tryna find it/
All a matter of timing that’s what divine is/
While I’m tryna learn patience I’ve been reminded of what the signs is, I see the stars aligning/
Almost blinding how we shining, through these trying times I’m grinding/
It’s tragic alotta love was plastic/
I try to look past it it’s in the past so I can’t grasp it/
I gotta move forward, I’ve been through horrors/
Mostly self inflicted/
My dark pictures depicted through writtens it’s sickening/
Ball hard but I ain’t get the love I deserve like Rod Strickland/
What the fuck was ya’ll missing/ yo
What the fuck was y'all missing..
Either You with it or you isn't..
