This is a certified hood classic
Nah not really
I'm just tryna spark a Philly
Times are chilly
Don't you think it's kinda silly?
The things we used to love like catching bugs and popping wheelies
Now you won't step outside the house for more than a few millis
Without something between your lips to change the way you feeling
Not a villain but if you see crawlers you would kill 'em
For no reason other than they came in with the season
Treat 'em like demons even though you're the one who's been scheming
I never dreamed that I would be the man I am today
I seem to be the type to read and write after I ran away
From things important in my life
Never know what to say
Until it's much too late
I know you love to hate
I'm just giving you what you want at least look at my face
I'm not too good at much except for taking up space
Is what you'd always tell me
One day you're gonna fail me
You held me back and you never really had my back
Yeah we were tight but I was always picking up the slack
And that's a fact even if you wont admit it
Your heart's Pitch Black like the Chronicles of Riddick
Nah it's shit
I'm sick as fuck
Ladada
Now that I sit back and analyze I'm thinking how
You know so much about me and I know nothing about you
But you make me think I'm crazy if I ever slightly doubt you
How do you live with all the shit that you did?
I don't know what's worse the fact it hurts or that I miss
When you would curse me out for saying stupid shit
I said was jokes with truth in it
Who do I turn to when I look just like you? (When I look just like you)
Can't even walk in front of mirrors
Need to walk a hundred years to get the hell up outta here
I'm running outta peers (What else)
I'm running outta tears (What else)
I'm running outta gears (What else)
I'm running outta things to run out of it's loud in here
I'm tryna reach the upper levels of the stratosphere
But all I ever seem to manage is feeding my fears
For years you made me feel I didn't deserve to be heard
Now I realize you were just an early bird stealing my worm
Anything that made me anxious never cause for your concern
When I couldn't leave the house nothing ventured nothing earned
Is all you would say
And then you'd go about your day
Couldn't even text me hey or ask if I'm okay like
La-da-da-da-da-da
But nowadays I'm feeling great
Even though I don't eat enough I got so much on my plate
It feels good to actually be too busy to text back
Rather than just avoiding your name in my contacts (Yeah yeah)
'Cause I'm scared to hear you're already making something of life (Yeah yeah)
Unlike me who can barely think of something to type (Yeah yeah yeah)
When you ask how I'm doing or what I'm up to (Oh yeah)
Uhh listening to music got some gum on my shoe?
I don't really know how to do that whole small-talk thing
So I have trouble making friends but other than that can't complain
I got motivated again and I'm in a really good headspace
Either recording or writing everyday like a death race
'Cause if you think about it well it kind of is
You could die any second even if you're tryna live
Might as well make the most of it while you still got the drive
Life's too short to be constantly cooped up inside
I know that's ironic coming from a guy who
Doesn't leave the house for weeks at a time but
For me the beats and my rhymes keep me free
So
I'm chillin' yeah yeah forreals (Yeah forreal)
Woke up sniffed daffodils (Daffodil)
I like this me
Yeah
I might just be (That's good you should)
Yeah
We chillin' yeah yeah forreals (Yeah forreal)
Wake up smell a daffodil (Daffodils)
I like this you
Too
You might just do
Ooh
Yeah yeah that's cool
