Vices

[Verse 1: Issa Gold]

Listen, I had to learn to stop cutting corners

Summers getting shorter and the years be flying by when you a stoner

Spent my life a floater, carrying the weight that's on my shoulders

Rather not show up, funny how it's harder getting sober

I was on the border, tryna hide behind my vices

Always was the nicest, now I'm here fighting off a crisis

But I keep it silent while I'm slowly dealing with the violence

No one knows you trying, all they see is every time I'm wildin'

Been tryna stay in pocket while burning out like a rocket

Speeding inside the cockpit, it feel like you got no options

Niggas be tryna lock in, addiction always come knockin'

Every time you get poppin' bad habits just make you stop it

Fading away, substances taking the pain

Can't see a dim in your flame, thinking it's cleaning the stains

Lost in the ocean of waves, feeling the way that it sway

Knowing I'm needing a change, really I'm fiending to stay

[Chorus: Nicole Bus]

You give me joy like a fountain

Forgive me if I stay

Your touch so strong, like a mountain

Forgive me if I stay

[Verse 2: AKTHESAVIOR]

Yeah, at times it feel just like the world against you

But it's really in your mind, your response needs some fine tuning

But that clock is always ticking and the distance gets further

Got to put that effort in or friends faces get blurry

I was a child of love but work got into play, won't hang my jersey

Sent him up above, and I ain't even make the ceremony

Present day, the same story, dream chasing and ignoring

Special moments in this life, can't get it back; too busy touring

Lit a pack until I'm soaring was my practice, back to back

Double clouds will hide the facts but when I land I still felt poor and

Had to get them vices up, then it ignited something for me

When you really want some shit to change you gotta go all for it

Put the spliff down, was going ham before, I'm on my shit now

Everything I got within's enough, no longer in doubt

God created us with pure perfection, don't throw the towel

Now every time I see a boy reflection, I gotta smile

[Chorus: Nicole Bus]

You give me joy like a fountain

Forgive me if I stay

Your touch so strong, like a mountain

Forgive me if I stay
