LYRICS:
From a place that I can’t describe, so deep inside
That’s it’s something like a distant cousin to suicide
I could never think of that, never on the brink of that
But if you at the bar and at the bottom where you sitting at
I’m across from you at the table with a pen and nap-
kin, writing letters to god this what I asked him:
How I get out of this corner that I been backed in
How am I not the performer that I was back then
I admit, holding back some of my rap shit
Cuz the hardest shit I recorded got no reaction
They said it’s too complex, despite the passion
Plus it wouldn’t hit complex, without the traction
Silly me, how could I be anything but really me
I really see, they wanna steer you wrong, that’s how it really be
Imagine working so hard & you can’t cut through
Fucks with ya whole life like a uncle that touched you
I ain’t really get that line when ‘Ye said it
Now I get they gotta live it before they get it
I get it, my path unique and it’s something prophetic
I write it down, then believe, and I’m destined to get it
But why this chapter that I’m reading feel so embedded
And how could people so deceiving say I’m indebted
I always seen what they can’t see, the reason I bet it
And still nigha ain’t receiving, reason I’m checking with you
If it ain’t speaking truth, what I’m destined to do?
I thought investing in you, was the best thing to do
I’m watching everybody eat, while I’m stretching these noodles
Nighas that I’ve introduced cuz the work that I do
Suddenly, they best friends, trynna skip me like Uno
People winning cuz my presence infectious and you know
It’s cool tho, ain’t never needed no kudos from putos
A nigha va seguir pa’ lante y yo te lo juro
Imagine, 14 years trynna master the page
Why put in, 14 years if I’m after some pay?
No matter how far it appeared I paid you the wage
Why set me on a path, if it ain’t making a way?
I’m trynna get an understanding here
At least show me where to go while standing here
Before my Elon Musk ways start to vanish here
It’s Win or Perish god, and I been famished here
Do you not speak English or Spanish here?
Am I wrong, cuz the village got me banished here?
Even speaking truth to you I’m risking some damage
They cuffing me with paperwork, hard not to panic here
Following my heart & being good is how I landed here
I rose but it’s looking like jack on Titanic here
Banging on ya door losing feeling in my hand in here
Gotta go, but I wrote it down on a napkin here
Hey, uhh bartender..
Thank you.
Nah that’s for you, keep the change.
