[Intro]

*audio of the interface getting plugged into the computer*

Here I go, use the microphone like I can't find my notes

Overflow, on another road, I’m going coast to coast

No one know all the twisted roads I had to swerve the holes

Heating up like crucible

You gon' watch the truth unfold

But let it look off

Only for a minute, the beginning before he took off

Don't know what a limit is, he said it then he took all

Betting on what he said, that he meant it, that’s a good call

He know hе don't know at all

But he know way more than most

Suspendеd like a frozen fall

In and out of class, he barely passed 'cause he was looking for knowledge

In and out of class he walking backwards, falling, nodding off

People acting like this what he asked for, not all

[Verse 1]

His mind spin around

And the world slower

Life hit like a bulldozer, fully loaded, no closure

Roll on voltage, over quota, every second gotta roll up

If you had to know what he know, your brains would be on your shoulder

'Cause you blew em out

Dream and pray for everything that I find myself doing now

One thing I don't do is doubt

Trying to wear a mask and act fake happy, it just ain't my style

To feel again, how?

I been wanted out

I'm taking what I found

And every secret I just keep it hidden in the sound

I was never on the right track, but I am now

I don't really think they understand who I am now

Just who I have to be to build what’s coming after me

They always setting traps for me, they fall into them tragically

That debt is unimaginable, but the magic cheap

Tell me what you had to see

[Verse 2]

Tryna find a new life

One that I won’t fight and beat

Hate when I do the wrong things for the right reason

Hate ain't the same as agitated, that’s like spice and weed

Rapping 'til I find the beat

Life is sweet like I'm a bee

That was a low bar...uh, limbo

Everything I did know until five years old was simple

After that I grew up way too fast just like I had the pimples

But I really had to fight the grown thoughts with my kid soul

Power trip, twisted

Like what's above the kicks soles

I’m talking about the laces like that time that I had hit bowl

I'm talking about the shit that you spark up and not the shit that roll

But I used to roll every day like neutral automotive

You can strive but you won't find this drive in any automotive

On my Ford shit, I'ma focus

Man that was another low one

But I ain't lie

24/7 all the time

Wear the truth right on my sleeve, it's right next to my heart and mind

Since all these thoughts mine

Let me explore my mind

And you can come for the ride if you don't mind

Watch me blow up like a mine

I'm a diamond that you finding in the rough like when you mining

Why is my business all the shit that these people be minding?

I could barely say the last take, I hope you ain't mind it

This shit come when pressure get applied, kind of like I mined it

Tell me where your mind is, this is where mine is

(I can't end it like that)

[Verse 3]

Anything but minus

Subtract the half of myself that found love in what ain't timeless

Wait ain't that what a divide is?

Go explore and find your passion, this what mine is

And I still got the vision like two dots around a minus

Living water flowing from within, don't need poseidon

I been living more life than I ever lived and you should try it

Lock around my ice, the grip is tight just like some pliers

I'ma clean the game up, let God wash me, spit the fire, dry it

This is how it's supposed to feel

There's no such thing as mostly real

I keep the flow just like a seal

I been reborn, I know I'm sealed

Walls that formed against me cracking up, it's something like a seal

No conforming, ain't no cracking, more like pack that's vacuum sealed

I ain't sold dope, man it sold me

I used to rock 2 Chainzzzz

My pendant said D2D

I bought my shit from GLD

In white gold so it ain't look cheap

The diamonds fake but not the teeth

I keep it real, GOAT

And I'm talking about the app, not the acronym

Yea the same app where you can by Acronym's

Think you gonna step on my shine, you gon' need some blacker timbs

Think you gon' look into my future, you need a blacker lense

'Cause it's bright bro

Leading with hate then you get deleted like a typo

Just months ago was seeing ghosts, right now all I can see is hope

This shit fire like the shit they used to grab to burn the dope

Keep it kicking, like a door

Keep it raw but I don't fold

Just like the paper, reach sky scraper heights with fire in the flow

Pray to God that He keep me grounded, just like a floor

To live in this life is war

I fight from victory, not for it

Matter of fact, give my battles to my Father fight 'em for me

Like I'm camping, I'm a fire in the woods, you can't ignore me

Everything I did until this point just chapters in my story

Now I live my life as open book

'Cause overlooked (is) the old me
