My mama said, mama told me not to run from all my problems
Spent late nights in the lot tryna solve them
I've been on the lamb tryna find a way to cope
Never could find any hope but I got some
Spent years here tryna run with the pack
Had to split and make some shit that they could run right back
I know myself, I know worth, I see my thoughts on tracks
Years fearing a derail 'til I cut my slack
I watch my back for fake motherf*ckers and phonies
Took the road less traveled on a path to my lonely
Had to tell all of my problems that they just don't own me
All the people close to me bro, they just don't know me
Feeling distant from the ones in my past life who act like point blank strangers should act nice
Forgot a couple names and faces due to all the races I took on
This death row shit, ain't no Suge Knight
Chronically depressed and always short on the rest
Praying that these f*cking raps won't have me short on the rent
I understand who I am, I know this life is a test
These demons up in my ear, they give me shit to resent
I tell them give it a rest
Cause really I've had it with all these goals that plant a seed in my mind and never learn how to grow
I got advantage to most
Still the devil shoveling all this shit down my throat
Bro y'all just looking for quotes and really y'all do the most
When I'm out on my own, I'm glad my father always showed me the ropes
Too self sufficient for contingence on this pit in my stomach
I know my heart so I speak it
Until the day I'm in coffins
Into the ground where I plummet
F*ck every edge that I jumped, feet on the ground for every time I was nothing
For when I anxiously scuffled, skewered my face to the public
When I was f*cked up and drugging
I got these songs I recorded, I know I can't mean nothing
I can't mean nothing
So when these demons crowd around me and it's all that I see I say f*ck em
F*ck em
Don't wait up
Keep your pace on this road
You've been down, settled child
Know you're grown
Keep your head up
Keep your shoes laced
When you wake up, get to moving
I know you're lost sometimes
Put your heart on the line
Time spent away from time
Moving, find another
Move and find
(Don't wait up)
(Keep your pace on this road)
