Pavement

[Verse 1]

I been gettin close to that invisible line that I told myself that I would change at

We be woke by design but asleep to instincts where it’s time to be brave at

Look at both of the eyes of each soul in the crowd like, “Yo, I made that”

We supposed to be shining, why they try to shade that? I hate that

I hate that I’m tired, the kid is stressed

Don’t want say I tried and I did my best

That implies it’s time to give in to rest

But won’t lie I been losin’ interest

I been havin nightmarеs with metaphors that’s easy to read

Prеtend they confusin’, time spent in illusions

I been missin' plots just to get to conclusions

Mix lazy with skill like you don’t get it, this fusion, I’m genre-blending

Sometimes venting ain’t the best if the air toxic

Sometimes it feel free, people try to fit you into their boxes

Rub shoulders with legends now but never let em impose their process

Homie, this is my shit

This my I-would-die shit 'fore I let ‘em pry shit from my hands while there’s still life in ‘em

[Chorus]

My shoes are too small for me

They don’t fit me no more

Can’t a new soul be bought for me

I was taught to want more

My feet on the pavement

My feet on the pavement

My feet on the, feet on the, feet on the pavement

My feet on the pavement

My feet on the pavement

Feet on the pavement

My feet on the pavement

My feet on the, feet on the, feet on the pavement

My feet on the pavement

On the pavement, on the

[Verse 2]

Sayin I’mma make new habits is my new habit

Not doin' is my old one

Tryna plan candid dates with myself for some minor self-love but be ghost when the vote come

Lookin' at the world like I want some change

Lookin' at the bank like I want some change

And there’s a lotta things I don’t want the same

But to be real I don’t know if I want to change

Cause my urges still unhealthy

All of my progress takes so much work

I wish this whiskey was nutritious

Wish all this lifting didn’t hurt

This is that 2am and I cannot sleep

Part of my mind that I cannot reach

You need advice but I cannot preach

'Cause everything ain’t ok with me

Sometimes the beat’s gotta be simple, the feet gotta be nimble

The reach gotta be infinite 'cause see the internet is an invincible threat cause how the info gets

And it be hard just to interject with some introspection

Like mint yo flex, son

A little reflection

Help us get some where we don’t scare when we think rejection

I’m just sayin' though

[Chorus]

My shoes are too small for me

They don’t fit me no more

Can’t a new soul be bought for me

I was taught to want more

My feet on the pavement

My feet on the pavement

My feet on the, feet on the, feet on the pavement

My feet on the pavement

My feet on the pavement

Feet on the pavement

My feet on the pavement

My feet on the, feet on the, feet on the pavement

My feet on the pavement

On the pavement, on the
