I can cee it I can cee it/
I can hear it I can feel it I was too scared to reveal it/
Your opinions are barely appealing, you weren't there for the healing/
You only there when convenient, you can't compare the feelin/
Similar to when the loop's repeating n I stare at the ceiling/
i'm writing to declare the meaning, although I can't explain it/
The sensation is breathtaking/
It's amazing how my heart left aching/
Every time I seek validation/
That's that lack of patience shit is heartbreaking/
Impose every limitation/
I'm closer to liberation every step taken/
Lookin back at the past is neck breaking, I regret waiting/
In the past I was told I was abrasive/
I tried to move gracious/
Too passive, I regret fakin the funk/
I should've told you straight from the jump/
Give a fuck say what you want/
I'm no longer able to front/
Time been catchin up/
Still racing/
Navigating through this nation of racists/
I'm determined to make it/
The truth is what I'm faced it/
I can't shake it/
I can't shake it..
Yo
I can't
Naw
I can't shake it..
