[Intro: Melvin Way]
Not being able to be seen
That’s what the formulas are all about
What you're about
I just see them, they can't see me
It's that simple
To be invisible
But to them it seems like a comedy or a joke or somethin' like that
Not magical, like phantasmal or like phantasmagoria
But I'm tired of being, having discussed myself with myself
Alone, yeah?
[Chorus: MIKE]
Only but a word
I keep trippin, know I'll never learn
Know my papa miss me, but I'm on the curb
Going up for sure
This year I'm poppin' shit, my sister told me purr
My share of confidence just twisted in the herb
Only but a word
[Verse 1: MIKE]
Still ain't strugglin', but shawty see the crud all in my eyes
Still ain't covered shit
Lotta twists and puzzles in my life, still fuck the government
Opposition, couple of them ties, why I be puffin' big
Lotta grim, and my mother on my mind, I peep nothin' rich
Lot of if's when trust be on the line, can't put my trust in him
Not for bliss, just money all the time, and I tried runnin' quick
Dodging crib, that Duppy gon' arise, still ain't huddlin'
'Cause I'm stuck on other shit, a lie
Can't get up with them 'cause they still be fumblin' a lot
Want me broke again
Had to put my stuff in different spots, oh, no luck again
Times I put my trust up into God, I just clutch the pen
Getting out some stuff I put aside
[Chorus: MIKE]
This year I'm poppin' shit, my sister told me purr
My share of confidence is twisted in the herb
I'm still my mama's kid, she visit me on earth
Only but a word
I keep trippin, no, I never learned
Know my papa miss me, but I'm on the curb
You know I'll be busy, roll with no concern
Only but a word
I keep trippin, no, I never learned
Know my papa miss me, but I'm on the curb
You know I'll be busy, roll with no concern
[Verse 2: Jadasea]
It could've been worse
You still here, these dark fears if it's been cursed
The ground heavy with demise, it's not a clean Earth
All them spirits in the sky, know they rebirth
Know they come alive at night, well, they disperse
Through spirits and discurb, I been to this scene first
This time round I find out why I been hurt
A lot of time to revisit, a lot to relearn
In my skins image that glimmers at these words
That was left to me, they bleed for me, took each turn
And every step I take, this road, it keeps going
And every step we take, this road, it keep going
[Outro: Prince of Benin]
By shakin' it, like this
