Honour Watkins - Evident (Ever Since I Fell in Love) Lyrics

It ain't about if it is fair
I had to get up off my ass
Because my grandma need a wheelchair
I'm on my knees I pray she heal well
As she laying on that bed she said baby I don't feel well
I feel ignored so I explored all my inner truths
Dear Lord tell me what a man supposed to do
F*ck getting signed because God done filled the void
The only thing on my mind is that grind and being self employed
We was affected so we was hopping all them fences
I'm a show you what they showed me in the trenches
Some jitty bugs soaking up the game
Listening to OGs ghetto stories acquiring all this ghetto fame
We were born in a land of sorrow
Our superheros were in Chevys and caskets we ain't look up to marvel
We used to fight we ain't used to argue
We were smoking blacks and gars
While yall was shooting marbles
I stopped being an addict
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Then I turned into a savage
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ever since I fell in love with myself
No more days of being a bed pan
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ever since I fell in love with myself
No more guilt for ever being born a Black man
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ain't it evident
I ain't your typical or average
And I know you ain't know but everything I drop magical
Niggas will never show you the passage
So the next step is on you
Yea I wonder what you will do
This world is a pain
It's a toothache
But mama say keep brushing your teeth
And make sure you squeeze out all of the toothpaste
And don't let no simp slide it's no veto
Daddy say respect your enemies so I drop a bomb on a mosquito
Karma's a bitch until she ready to find ya
But I live my life with no regrets so I don't need no reminders
They want me hungry
At an all time low
Spirits falling into the flesh and meshing slow
How the morgue filled with the youngings
They in the middle of a war and they ain't throwing punches
And this too shall pass
Because the master say brand them with bullets holes
Caskets packed with slaves
I stopped being an addict
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Then I turned into a savage
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ever since I fell in love with myself
No more days of being a bed pan
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ever since I fell in love with myself
No more guilt for ever being born a Black man
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ain't it evident
They wouldn't let me in the square
O where do I fit
Sitting in the ether
Wasn't even considered a pick
Last of a dying breed
So you know I gotta stay equipped
Ion think they ever seen a seven born outta six
Greatness take time
But it won't lead an ape to acne
They say I'm out my mind
So they tryna Anita Baker act me
He a giant
I ain't trippin' because I believe in God
I'm all in
What you betting because I'm a beat the odds
Ion think about it I just bet it and let my feelings show
So take a number, take a seat, and tune into the glow
He took his time but he finally delivered
I'm a lead you outta Egypt like that child found in the river
Yea you shouldn't take the risk
Really I insist
I'm not greedy I just risk
BB on my wrist
Yea the needy has a list
I'm needing you're assist
Yea lead me through the abyss
Lead me through the hiss
They say they want me dead well you better practice
O I feel the fire yea
Who lit the matches
They say they want to see me earn it without no loans
So I'm walking through the furnace with a suit on
Bitch I'm built tough like a new home
I ain't no science fair project nigga I ain't got no glue on
I'm like your wallet without a dime or nick
I'm solid built brick by brick
I stopped being an addict
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Then I turned into a savage
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ever since I fell in love with myself
No more days of being a bed pan
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ever since I fell in love with myself
No more guilt for ever being born a Black man
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ever since I fell in love with myself
Ain't it evident
