I've been trippin off what other people say
Sometimes you be only getting what you take
I can’t help it I just always play it safe
Then came winter I was going through phase
Yeah I’m not as confident as I portray
Keep the ones close that be seeing through your fake
I be with the people that was with me at the base
I don’t ask for the fame I’m just thankful when I pray
The raining was over with opening up all the blinds, yeah
Pain in a folder I locked it away and I threw the keys up in the skies, yeah
Now that you better, it’s better when you can admit you were never that fine, yeah
I sent a letter to whoever needed a net or a reason to fight, yeah
Yeah yeah
Common sense, common sense, common sense
Dollar signs lead to broken promises
Optimist, optimist, optimist
Know I’m not defined by my accomplishments
And that’s root of all evil
And when you plant among the thorns
They all stood up unequal
Buried deep inside the problems you can’t look up a cheat code
And I would tell you all about it but you wouldn’t believe though

Listen to your heart where the voice is
Life is all a bunch of little choices
Go and get up back up on your horses
God told me that I’m anointed
Last night was crazy
The pain it couldn’t change me
Someone come to save me, save me
Got up on my wave see
I gotta do it daily
And when I’m down I say
No way, no way

yeah, take a little peak you won’t believe where I’m at
i’m so used to losing sleep so all my dreams were detached
gate keepers ain’t believe me, so i creeped in the back
& i can feel the tables turnin’
finding balance in the things that make me lose mine
that’s a challenge but it comes around in due time
tunnel vision makin sure i never lose sight
& my baby hold it down i gotta do right
young street sweeper, sometimes i got it all figured out
sometimes i think i need jesus
i hit his line but only when i need help
i’m bumpin Nas, he told me that is wasn’t that hard to tell
funny how they shoot their shot but i ain’t photogenic
hmm, there’s no debating imma local legend
but i don’t wanna die as just that
& that’s a real good problem to have


Listen to your heart where the voice is
Life is all a bunch of little choices
Go and get up back up on your horses
God told me that I’m anointed
Last night was crazy
The pain it couldn’t change me
Someone come to save me, save me
Got up on my wave see
I gotta do it daily
And when I’m down I say
No way, no way
