No such thing as perfection, tracing it back to when those all before me set precedent
But I'm alone in my travel, the path overgrown
And I'm trying to follow the remnants
There ain't no shoulder to lean on, no handle to hold
And the echoes are prompting my hesitance
All of a sudden my vision got narrow
The only faces I care bout are the presidents
Had to go get that check
Last time I checked, I'm tired
I wanna move back to the city
In my hometown walking on eggshells
In the roundabouts doing 360s
Night's quiet, I can't escape the silence
But I try until half past empty
The devil got eyes like kaleidoscopes
And she calling, she always try and tempt me
Get me lit but don't pour up the chilly OD
Do the job, but the taste not welcome
Get me lit and go round up the city for me
Cause the means gotta equal the outcome
Get someone that don't need to get pretty for me
Get someone that gon show up and sit here w me
Get someone that won't have any pity on me
Get someone that gon split and go 50s w me
Get someone Imma spit on the MIDIs for three
We only what?
We only
Switch up the tactics, new Horizon got them out doing backflips
You make a move and it's heard through the static
Water ripple, heads turn on their axis
Heard a lot of people shoot for the stars
Aim for the moon but they won't ever back, back, back it
In the air, out the way
Bloody nose, bloody face
What I think, what you say
What you want, what I made
In the sand, I drew a line
Overdue, about time
Between the lines you see the signs
So finally some peace of mind
In the air, out the way
Bloody nose, bloody face
What I think, what you say
What you want, what I made
In the sand, I drew a line
Overdue, about time
Between the lines you see the signs
So finally some peace of mind
Paradigm shifted
Moving without thinking I can't afford
Fahrenheit lifted, change of the season
Isn't as cold as it was here before
Pair of eyes gifted
Stare in my soul, wish you could see what I'm seeing in yours
This ain't no paradise, is it?
Everyone know that a tragedy par for the course
Living through life with my eyes closed
See no evil, I know there's a lot
But I hate when they're letting shit fly though
And I hate when they're stirring the pot
So I'd rather stay isolated, I can take it
I could- I could- I could fake it
Everytime premeditated, stay medicated, all of my actions are weighted
Wearing my heart on my sleeve, ain't no wolf in the sheep skin
Ain't no suppressing the truth
All that I said what I meant ain't no taking it back
Ain't no more elephant in the room
Know it's a one way street, I don't shit where I eat
Isn't worth all the stressing to do
So now I got clarity, said with sincerity
There ain't no way I'm confessing to you
Ain't no question it's true
I admit that I read things wrong
A mistake to pursue
But not one thing I regret, that I wouldn't redo
After reflection's over, we're starting anew
A better future
For me and for you
In the air, out the way
Bloody nose, bloody face
What I think, what you say
What you want, what I made
In the sand, I drew a line
Overdue, about time
Between the lines you see the signs
So finally some peace of mind
In the air, out the way
Bloody nose, bloody face
What I think, what you say
What you want, what I made
In the sand, I drew a line
Overdue, about time
Between the lines you see the signs
So finally some peace of mind
Hold up
To the people I thought grew with me
Act behind my back, relax everytime they thought they fooling me
Turn to cruelty, eventually I knew that you'd leave
A burden I must carry, its a cross I bear like jewelry
That you don't know the seeds you sow will bear a sour fruit
If intentions were malicious, I'd repent if I were you
If I'm forsaken for a mistress, I don't know what I would do
Set ablaze upon our bridges, desecrating our youth
Thought my judge of character was all but perfect, I was wrong
Imperfections start to show in places they should not belong
Differences of values, we were just hiding all along
Now the divide is irreparable, it's fine to carry on
Got a knack for looking back upon my past, and learning more
Won't proceed and make a move without at least being informed
I got love for all my people, even those I may have scorned
Won't forget, but I forgive, no such thing as beyond reform
Peace of mind
