My love
I know I be strong for you, my love
Gotta be strong for you, my love
But really I don't know what to do, my love
My love
I know I look strong to you, my love
Gotta be strong for you, my love
But I don't know what to do, my love
This beat feel like essential oils
Lavender aroma and vintage camera recorders
Replaying my life before this
Damn it we grew up spoiled
Aint get it out the mud but we grew it out of the soil
My self-care
Has lately been less-careful
Caught up in elsewhere
Less present, and more fearful
Being more cautious, y'all
'Cause when you slipping it get way too hard not to fall
Into the dark, that's where the demons and monsters are
Letting my light shine
Tune into Primetime
CNN talking bout how some Senator on one aisle
Been selling us white lies
A bill in the House died
The wrong and the right side
My niggas been outside
Fighting a long fight
I grew up in all-white, neighborhoods
And tried to fit in with all the white kids
With dogs and a white fence
Who lawns was the nicest
My moms had the block smelling like six different spices
I tried to act like them so that they wasn't aware of it
I even put a cross around my neck started wearing it
It worked till when my parents came around speaking Arabic
And there go my cover
There go me over-thinking again
Deep in my head
Leaving shit in the past is hard
Often I frequently bend backwards
To please everyone around me
But even my friends battle to deal with the stress
That's why they frequently twist backwoods
I'm peaking again, I'm free as the wind
Oils release while I sit, I breathe in the scent
I'm taking it in
'Cause often these moments don't stay for long till they leaving again
I'm back on my feet and I'm sprinting, running, I'm fiending to win
I'm running so my pops don't gotta worry bout feeding the fam
I'm running from anxiety, chasing me
Beat it again, 'cause I can't let society see me be weak as a man
I'm running on E but I'll never quit to sit back
Running away from all my past, it catch up I get lapped
I'll run until I get the bag, bet I still won't relax
My parents ran up out Sudan, running 'til they get back
My nigga ran away from life, running 'til I bring back
All of the moments that we had, that I'll never get back
Running until I make a change, run to make an impact
Running until the feelings last, running till I get back
Running until I
This beat feel like essential oils
This beat feel like essential oils
My love
I know I be strong for you, my love
Gotta be strong for you, my love
But I don't know what to do, my love
My love
I know I seem strong to you, my love
Gotta be strong for you, my love
But I don't know what to do, my love
