lyrics

bending lines
taking time until we fill our holes with life
pacing down the years until we tranquilize
fine with all the bullshit that they doctrinize
in our feeble minds it's just a ploy to find
satisfaction in on what they can't rely
are you fitted for the route where you could rise
look me in the eye no time to compromise
we're going off the grain ready to live real lives

[how long does it take to feel it]
there's something out there (yeah)

i show you my colors and lettin em breath
it's real spacious out here, hope that can bring you ease (uh)
i'm checkin into my memory bank
only a few stories floated, all the rest sank
shit was never giddy from the jump tho
every now n then i'm gettin caught up in a stump tho
i'm just bein real
past 2 years, shit got real
when my pops died, i couldn't make out how to feel (feel, feel, feel)
and that's life tho
easier said and that's for certain
it took some time i took some L's i'm still learnin
how to find a way to cope with depression
put my pen on the paper, applied the pressure
dark forces tried to keep me in the margins
but i flourish like a yellow iris in the garden
1 day just said fuck it off the bat
put music out, and niggas was fuckin with it off the bat
dutifully shining across the brightest hours
everyday i recognize some new hidden powers
talking bout the many possibilities
of who i am, what i want, what i could be
