lyrics

We had the illest chemistry, easy-flowing conversation
Trying to find the missing beats in me, but I ain't Roger Davis
Maybe it's my fault, my heart's a vault, decide to let you spin
Jaded, I've anticipated any kind of pain I'm in
Punching like I'm Tyson, but my demons strong as Satan's titans
Read the Bible, never been a Christian, but I feint for revival
Either you fight or you retreat to a title
Tatted the face of famous pharaohs, taking heed it was vital

My lessons always turned to blessings
But in the moments it be hell for me
Take a couple losses, double back like I just left the key
Sometimes I want somebody that deserves me I admit
Had a couple of them waiting, but still idle is where I sit
Where I reside I got a couple places, never felt like home though
Suicide was in my head, my temple's where that chrome go
Read the Tao te Ching, the Four Agreements, skimmed The Prince
Restore the balance in my confidence, fully conscious in this bitch
I'm glad my momma had me, called my father up I know it make him happy
He gon set the player playing straight before they ever trap me
Say you sorry 100 times, you 100 times tardy
Caught me by surprise, I'm lying, I heard these lines familiar shorty
Simple things that's in my life is what value now the highest like a phone call
Disconnected, beautiful things always end like snowfall
And it's no fault or thought of my own
Like a mannequin was frozen no emotion was shown
My apathy is like a pass for me, you say you latched to me, it's bad for me
Open up my swollen wounds so gradually
I made these moves all by myself, executed every plan
And every dollar that been thrown into that pot, turned a grand
And only thing I fear is death because he waiting for us all
Took a couple of my friends, before they made a date at all
It's like the status quo, it's regular we so desensitized
Maybe death has been the heaven we praying for inside
I want respect but I won't ask for that, just push your cabbage back
Imagine that, double Dutch on my doubter back after that
My attitude has been inclined
My whole soul has been refined
Til' the day I pass away I'm drawing blood on every line
