[Verse 1]
Always too shook to start
I do not look the part, outside they frame
(When I) decide to rhyme on stage and share these things that I can paint
(I come) prepared for stares and glares that go as far as eyes can range
And feel my spinal shake and pray, they see past what my titles say
Anyways, inside my brain
There's tidal waves, of primal rage, riptides of pain and rival games that try to sway and break my faith
Make me feel SOME TYPE OF WAY
Cried in shame and grinded late
To find something that might equate
Relate and see my side of things
Raised in a place designed by fakes
Where golden gates reside by lakes
At private school was shy and lame
That's what they'd say, no high or drink
I just used the sky as aim
And prayed to god id fly away
Be guided straight
Out of gas, running fast no don't apply my brakes!
Please don't make my flight delayed
I could die on any day
Lucky doctor said I had a tumor, was benign by 8
Or 14 forgot my age
Point is got no time to waste
My lion heart was bound to break
But now they hear my lion sing!
My Momma said no time awaits
Can't hesitate, or try to blame
The things you hate, must fight the pain
And drive insane, through night and day
To make it to your time and fate
So many questions to ask God
Sincerely signed my name
[Hook]
Looked at the world, from through my eyes
I, search inside and I cannot compromise for
The answers that they give me, cuz
Ain't no lies ever gon give me what I want still asking
Why
[Verse 2]
Moving too fast I question, complicate, then fluctuate
Between too many paths, don't want to crash, I need to pump my brakes
Take me back to younger days, a 38 above my waist
When honey glazed, and bu*ter tastes, kept me away from underweight
Fo' I hit my junkie phase, druggie ways, my dungeon days
Blazing blunts of skunk and shake, chase and pay for another eighth
Another strain, stuck in space, munchies and some tummy aches
It numbs my pain, corrupts my brain, but I wouldn't trade a slump in grades
For anything
Cuz it kept me from being someone vain
What I gained was something strange
A heart free from clubs and spades
No diamonds on my neck yet play the game like I can trump they ace
Confront my snakes, the ones that hate
I'm real, that beats a hundred fakes
So jump on board, jump on my train
Fo' I'm gone and on my way
And they say I'm long n changed
Forgot the Lord and all his praise
Forgot my home and gone extinct
Another Drake, just cut and paste
November's very own, various flows
But waiting on my break
I heard some say I overthink
Cuz I wonder things, and flood my gates
Well I like to think they under-think
I'll hunt with ink, till' I'm drawing blanks
I'm on a drug, some call it Faith
Still have questions to ask God
Sincerely signed my name
[Hook]
Looked at the world, from through my eyes
I, search inside and I cannot compromise for
The answers that they give me, cuz
Ain't no lies ever gon give me what I want still asking
Why
