Retrograde

[Produced by Tom Misch]

[Verse 1]

Tired of running

Mind steady running tick tock the time steady running

So exhausted I find that I want to take it slow

Trynna save my soul from my egos hold

No letting go like it caught a prey

I just pray, I can get this weight up off my brain

Always getting blazed crossing different strains

Made a promise to myself that I'd refrain

For at least 365 days trynna find my way

Lost up in this maze, caught up in my ways

Everybody born know they gotta make mistakes

My subconscious steady warning me

I gotta feel the pain if I ever want the gains

Life is full of test and its pouring when it rains

Finding bigger treasures than the fortune and the fame

Am I really chasing dreams or the happiness they bring

Going out in public just to practice being sane

Then Im back up in the lab, mac up in my lap

Got my pen and pad, master of my craft

Mind be running wild let my madness out on tracks

Let me snap! I said nigga let me snap

Walking down my path trynna get these demons off my back

[Hook]

So Im shaking 'em off

I be shaking 'em off

I be shaking 'em off

I be shaking 'em off

The same back I be praying for my angels to watch

The same back my team on headed straight for the top

Headed straight for the top

Headed straight for the top

Headed straight for the top

Headed straight for the top

No room for these demons so Im shaking 'em off

I be praying for my angels to watch, me

[Verse 2]

Words flowing like the stream, I need cleansing

Urges tell me that I need pussy need riches

Higher self says I need wisdom need temperance

Team tell me that we need hits so keep killing

Im conflicted, grades slippin now my mom and pops tripping

I know Im blessed to live this life that Im living

But lately my mind spinning busy dealing with my own problems

Always folks who would kill to have your problems

But give me some inner peace and I'll help with the globes problems

Winning with my team hope the money ain't more problems, shit

But running and ain't gone solve them

Time for me to face them no time for being complacent

Time to make some changes no time for me to being playing

Time to see my name as a topic of conversation

Time to get my weight up start popping around the nation

Time for me to take what the fuck is mine for the taking

Im out...
