lyrics

I’ve seen a man cry. I’ve seen a man bleed. I’ve seen a stone crack. Here comes the stampede.

I pray peace once the dust settles x2

off the bench, the seat warm, the stage is set. The masks are off. Phantom of the opera hitting half courts, this the golden state, so we out with Steph. In my own lane, call my own fouls, my own ref

I blow the whistle on the hurt i’ve cause, the spells i’ve cast. Tryna shake these curses off.
Not always kind, but never malice. But there are always consequences for every action

Something i’ve learned
The surface of the water is a long fall from the bridge you burned
from that height the impact feel like cement to what might take years
But, thats how growth is earned

Show face to show relevance, the pressure is heavy
Bigger I get, the thicker the lies, they’ve started already
Figgy this, Figgy that. Figgy has changed. Just make sure you say the Baby when you speaking my name

I’m my big brother’s big brother.
Little primas, big homie, coparent with they mother
Even adults need help sometimes
Even kids gon be grown sometimes

I got lil homies, waiting for my shit to pop off, so I can pay for their lunch.
We living humble. Cover the basics first, before I cover the cost, so they can really stunt
I put that on my chain so you know where i’m from

Im tryna save lives, I got hero syndrome, but my villain era, it keep on interfering.
Way too occupied tryna up my body count, way too occupied tryna get this ass to bounce

Entertaining hearts, even ones I have no interest in
No focus where i’m getting to, only who i’m getting with
I can’t sit in silence, too much noise i’d be sitting with
The signal is static. Ah..u..etting this?

I got dick riders talking shit, requesting in my dms. Freedom envy. “why can’t I be him.”

Fuck bois, fan bois, only difference, one is brave enough to say they with it

If you only love me for the gender bending, you just chasing gimmicks.
If you hate me for the same, it’s cause you wish you could be in it
Listen to the lyrics
L when I’m stripped down to nothing
Is what i’m saying, worth the listen?

Haven’t heard a song calling me mid, think they offending me. Think they gonna be my downfall is really sending me. Wait in line, lil bish. If anybody ending me, it’s gon be me. i’m my own worse enemy.

People double down on their own instability. Let they shit fall. I’ve been chillen since. Lamictal. Aeryn love the self awareness. Jrizzle said, I need to settle myself, before I settle. So give me a minute

I’ve seen a man cry. I’ve seen a man bleed. I’ve seen a stone crack. Here comes the stampede.

I pray peace once the dust settles x2
