[00:8.64]I was named after my grandpa
[00:10.48]Raised by both parents
[00:12.03]Grew up spending a lot of time with my grandma
[00:15.82]Y'all don't really give a damn huh
[00:17.52]Afraid of missing the moment somebody bring the camera
[00:21.79]Might be a Kodak
[00:23.12]Capable of great things sorry but I know that
[00:26.82]And I know dudes that wanna go back
[00:29.51]That's why I feel the need to hold back
[00:31.6]Tell me I'm spoiled my folks knew what I needed
[00:34.18]In a bad game but the parenting succeeded
[00:37.1]So I play fair I'm on that fair play
[00:39.88]That don't necessarily mean that I'mma stay there
[00:42.49]Pardon the concentration
[00:44.14]I always think about chord progressions while having a conversation
[00:48.57]So what was it that you said
[00:52.11]Is it going to my head
[00:54.3]Growing on stories that I've read
[00:56.34]And I don't feel the need to be out partying instead
[00:59.34]Spend my days mumbling in a studio
[01:03.8]In a business based on who we know
[01:08.23]Maybe I should get my priorities in order
[01:13.25]I keep thinking of all the thoughts I've never thought of
[01:17.88]This world is confused
[01:20.7]So I'm trynna spend more time caressing my girl than my shoes
[01:26.37]She feel like I don't write about her and I should
[01:31.2]But what is there to say when everything is all good
[01:37.87]Now she's like matter fact
[01:41.8]Don't do it don't put me in a rap
[01:45.48]The metaphors is heavy she won't know how to act
[01:49.75]I rap about my ex and trust me I don't want her back
[01:54.95]Somebody clap somebody bring a plaque
[01:58.9]Truly sorry I forgot to read what's on the back
[01:63.5]Steel expression facing a magnet
[01:68.82]I went to that same place out of habit
[01:74.32]She can't face that we had it
[01:77.72]Check under the carpet for traces of magic
[01:83.43]She came into my life to spread some light in it
[01:87.48]Had to let go of her hand so I could write with it
[01:92.17]They not liking it
[01:94.05]Everything I say must be coded or else somebody might get it
[02:04.12]And as we play on
[02:06.13]I'm frustrated 'bout the crayons she stay on
[02:11.77]I don't mess up usually
[02:14.53]There's a last name where a heart used to be now
[02:20.37]And I don't fight with my emotions
[02:24.58]Doors steady open keys are my devotion
[02:29.57]And everyone moving in slow motion
[02:33.62]Like they trynna run it at the bottom of the ocean
[02:39.53]I ain't trynna get no drama
[02:42.63]So I do my teachers like they did Obama
[02:48.33]I'm not a dropout
[02:50.5]But at times I've been one drop from dropping out
[02:56.25]And all I know is open arms never been rejected
[02:61.73]Though I recall the feeling of being neglected
[02:66.3]Thanks to my mom I am well reflected
[02:70.98]So you don't need to explain homie I get it
[02:75.75]Bitter dudes say I sound like so and so
[02:80.35]Translation sound like I'm going pro
[02:85.5]And it's hard keeping it on the low
[02:89.9]When the people that matter tell you you're on a roll
[02:94.6]Small fears all cares
[02:99.52]As long as you are something they can call theirs
[03:03.7]Got songs that gotta wait like 4 years
[03:08.32]So tell me who I am man I'm all ears
[03:12.97]And there was no doubt
[03:15.28]'Till I found myself in a big city all alone in a hotel room
[03:23.77]Like this is what I sell to'em
[03:27.13]They say I'm sick and they hope that I get well soon
[03:33.33]Mom stressed I never eat and I keep underestimating sleep
[03:41.25]I'm just trynna put a blessing on a beat
[03:45.1]And make those who do stop questioning the leap
[03:49.73]Confession from a geek the truth goes
[03:54.73]I actually write better wearing new clothes
[03:59.52]And watching these rappers makes me wanna do shows
[03:64.05]Too many cameras help me come up with a new pose
[03:69.05]Head's wishing time would be reversible
[03:73.65]I'm a part of a new era see we personal
[03:77.87]What do I put so much thought into these verses for
[03:82.58]Looking around like do I have to curse to blow
[03:87.8]Maybe I'm just thinking too much
[03:91.32]Analyzing everything I'm shrinking too much
[03:96.35]They say I'm bigger than myself
[04:00.08]No connection to reality I'm blinking too much
[04:07.02]Let's be honest for a minute
[04:10.88]Close my eyes I'm not seeing any limit
[04:16.4]Going more places than a stewardess
[04:20.6]I'm not a rapper
[04:21.87]I just sound good doing this
