lyrics

(we got some fresh tunes for y’all)

Ain’t no use crying over spilled milk
Frenemies with the ill will like the disk jockey
Keep it on the humble, spit cocky
Cop and 8th from selling six copies of these CDs (oh yeah?)
Peep me with your eyes but can you see me?
Smoking some tree that fell in the forest with nobody around
A lot of niggas making noise, I ain’t hearing a sound
Seem like the niggas down to earth be six feet in the ground
For now, I stay ten toes down
Two fingers in ears with my eyes closed
They gone ask why I can’t see or hear nothing
Think it’s kinda better how my mind goes, It be
Hittin like a hi hat on the triplet
I been on my Eeyore, Tigger and Pooh and Piglet
Left me back like Chilwell, stuck in my blues
Running another marathon up in my shoes, uh

They told a nigga don’t run, don’t run
But never cared to ask him what he running from
And every day getting tougher
But I’m supposed to wake up feeling grateful for another one? (nah!)
That shit is cliche! They moving hella foul but it’s never PKs!
I can’t throw in the towel til my mama repaid
And if you feeling down you should know I relate, you should know I relate

Promised my mom a year of abundance
Whole time I been wondering how to bring it to life
Know she been depressed, tried to bring her the light
See back when I was hungry she would bring the rice, yeah
Either the jollof or the stew or the fried, see the pain in her eyes, I can’t even cry
Back when I was lost all the truths hurt my pride, I can’t lie
I’m still looking for self…
Ego death might as well have been the real thing
And everybody I know in need of healing
Look my demons in the face, man I don’t know if it helps
Took a second to reflect and get a hold of myself

They told a nigga don’t run, don’t run
But never cared to ask him what he running from
And every day getting tougher
But I’m supposed to wake up feeling grateful for another one? (nah!)
That shit is cliche! They moving hella foul but it’s never PKs!
I can’t throw in the towel til my mama repaid
And if you feeling down you should know I relate, you should know I relate
