Eris Dublin - Something 2 Lose (feat. Shavaar) Lyrics

You can get lost in yourself and I seen it
Bouncing back from all times I was deep in
Counting back 'cause I excelled from a fetus
Hate me, but you hit me up for convenience
Common sense ain't common, so I'm a genius
I been living 'cause I'm never gon' see this again
I gotta get it, how they gon' beat us?
R and R, I hit the blunt with my feet up
Glamour don't show you what's beautiful
The public eye always forces it
Plain sight ain't imagination
I'm glad we had it, I was fortunate
From the paddy wagon to the corporate steps
Showing innocence like endorsements
I ain't have a daddy like an orphanage
Still a black man ran the offices
So, who they saying took 'em back to school?
Why these niggas always acting cool
Had 1P like the afternoon
Broke it down for 'em like After School
Since a little boy I was troublesome
Giving hard dick and bubblegum
You giving her problems, she stuck with them
Ain't leveling up but in love with 'em
Numb as I been, I been finding time
Taking a break from a 9 to 5
Bread don't mean shit if you not alive
I was stressing myself man, I'm not gon' lie
Built enough wins just by cutting ties
Ain't have enough heart, but a lot of pride
My OG's to blame for my conscious mind
You can't walk in my shoes, if you not my size
The shorter my patience the longer my reach
Matching my actions to go with my speech
And each is to own, wanna own not lease
You don't speak for ya own, then you not gonna eat
I was raised by the wolves, it was hot in these streets
I was praised for the good, it was not to compete
I'm finishing chapters they still incomplete
Imma own my own masters, I'm still on the beats
Pressure busts pipes when your back's on the wall
I remember them nights when dad wouldn't call
Names on my list, I'm just scratching them off
I gave 'em assists, wasn't passing the ball
I'm staying consistent, and adding it all
They taking me serious, they gradually fall
Talking to Jesus, he actually called
The devil is lurking, he battled me y'all
You can get lost in yourself and I seen it
Bouncing back from all times I was deep in
Counting back, 'cause I excelled from a fetus
Hate me, but you hit me up for convenience
Common sense ain't common, so I'm a genius
I been living 'cause I'm never gon' see this again
I gotta get it, how they gon' beat us?
R and R, I hit the blunt with my feet up
When I started reflecting, I was like who this?
I was less of a student and more like a nuisance
Follow whose footsteps?
When I don't see a shoe print
What I know now I know that I can make you a blueprint
The bluest emotions can lead to a heartless decision
To try to stay open is truly the harder decision
But you gotta power through
You can not let it devour you
No this is not an "If i were you"
But it makes sense when I give my two
Truth
Let it wash over you
Let it drown you now
'Cause that's what it's supposed to do
Trust that you'll realize, that it was overdue
And me being in your life is God looking over you
I'm a vessel, I'm a light
I'm a prophet every morning
And The King of every night
I know we gon' be alright
'Cause my spirit just too strong
And FRXX will prove it every time
You can get lost in yourself and I seen it
Bouncing back from all times I was deep in
Counting back, 'cause I excelled from a fetus
Hate me, but you hit me up for convenience
Common sense ain't common, so I'm a genius
I been living 'cause I'm never gon' see this again
I gotta get it, how they gon' beat us?
R and R, I hit the blunt with my feet up
