I learned to never judge a book by it's cover or the author
So I'll never judge a man by the colour of his collar
I know scholars who really ain't got shit to offer
Seen em sellin out their own flesh and blood to make a dollar

So many demons in my mind
clways felt like a flawed design
I hit rock bottom - bottom line
You got your reasons I got mine

Cause thoughts in my head are intrusive
cnd these tests been inconclusive
I need rest, been dreaming lucid
I'll put a message in my music

I deserve some respect, won't get it till I'm dead
This the shit I think bout cause I been in my head
Don't wanna live with regret ,
I been a miserable, cynical, visible mess
Sick of the trend of drinking in bed
Levelling up shit I did it again

Cause the money give you power, how do I buy peace
Been over 48 hours and I still can't sleep
Cause the voices getting louder - they won't let me speak
I been feelin like a coward - can't accept defeat

Man, last summer, was a bummer - unknown caller -
Was my doctor got to talkin and she said I'd be a goner
If I didn't quit the liquor - so I'm only sippin water
cnd I know these hoes are bitter cause I'm only getting hotter
cnd my vision get bigger and my circle getting smaller
cnd I'm only going further and I'm ready to go harder
cnd I love my sis to death - and my parents - I'm so blessed
Feel good to hear em say that they proud of their daughter

I was ripping past the slow lane always tryna live the fast life
With no warning started swerving like I slipped up on some black ice
I dreamt last night I was baptised in a past life
Where I didn't always have to fake a fuckin smile, wasn't told what I should act like

Felt like a prisoner , but nobody read me my rights
I been handling my business , bitch I'm ready to fight
cnd I'll be breaking down the door - in the dead of the night
Got some shit I can't ignore , can't board that red eye flight

I'm dedicated , no longer self medicated
Separated , dead weight in my headspace
I elevated
Meditate for my mental state
I'm blessed to say that every day I'm In a better place than yesterday so I celebrate in better ways
cnd I rest my case
