maybe i’m not ready

how do I come clean to you?

on mezzanine I’m floatin’

I said enough words today

I’m startin’ to feel hopeless

I gotta keep doors open

I need a girl that’s focused

every date feel the same

ain’t nobody keepin’ it real I noticed

I keep it dully noted

didn’t know I had a cape on

you want me 

better say sum

only got time

for yo glock nine

and yo day ones

tryna save some

tryna race sum

runnin’ in place

when I medicate

chasin a mental break

pray that I make a way

hate when I freeze up

and hesitate

I take it everyday 

I had to pave away

she wanna smoke weed

and meditate

souls in the 808s

used to love Kanye

love when I’m down

but you hate when I ball

the higher I get

is the longer I fall

as meta beseeches

I’m rippin’ off leeches

I’m tryin my best

but nothin is pleasin’

maintaining a pulse

for activist reasons

if I’m outlined chalk

no cuffin’ this season

I just know what I’m taught

and it rip me to pieces 

I got one in the chamber

I’m prayin’ to Jesus

if I go up to meet him

I doubt he would greet me

Left everything back

But my chain and my black tee

Don’t @ me

Do you have a soul?

Well actually

Depends when you asked

“Are you mad at me?”
