V.I - Candles Lyrics

I been siftin
Through the memories and the words I been gifted
Thankful for the humans I've learned and who listened
Reasons that I frequent absurd in my penman

Bury every concern I contend with
Seems what I observe is so different
Life really be testin' my fervor with switches
Gaps workin' my nerves with new distance

Thinkin' I might lessen myself for new gains
This here is a lesson for those with new games
Puttin heart and soul into my, campaign
Really gotta weather some storms to feel reign

I don't need caveats on my worth
Those the type of foundations I curve
Know what I exude been missin' since birth
An aura that don't everybody deserve

Fulfilled I'm
Steady tryna to a peek/peak, that real climb
Break down over rhythms, I feel like an enzyme
Thankful I keep asking the Lord reveal minds

All that shadow boxing with me, can't steal shine
I been numb to so much, but feel fine
I just wanna cruise through the city and feel time
Or hear this over Cabernets, watch the real whine

I be the example (see why)
I hoped I'd be ample (the kind)
Too dope for one sample (the high)
Heads nod and hips scramble (see I)

Had confidence trampled (now my)
My doubts are dismantled (now I)
Put clowns on my mantle (cowhide)
On wax my groove candles (how fly)

I be the example (see why)
The vibes are too ample (please I'm)
Too dope for one sample (the high)
Will make ya hips scramble (see I)

Had confidence trampled (now my)
My doubts are dismantled (now I)
Leave crown on my mantle (that's why)
On wax it's new candles

Most to freeze off spoken heat,
That's what V on
Stroke these beats so potently, that's what queens want
Commas sing and close to peace,
That I be on
If you got, close to me then ghosted me,
That's wear he stunt

I done let go of so much, it got exhausting
Taxing parts of me, it was costing
Sanity, think I kid, no offspring
Think I deserve to do some flossing

On top off that cake like some frostin'
You can't en-com-pass what you lost in
Me the real do not, come so often
Astrology can't fix double crossing

Keep my vendettas, out of sight
So, I can freefall through the night (let)
Melodies take me to new heights (and)
Live the best parts of, what I write

Turn things up I'll get more sublime
Make you move, that come back rewind
So much made me this way, it's fine
Unrequited, but you will find

Fulfilled I'm
Steady tryna get to a peak, that real climb
Break down over rhythms, I feel like an enzyme
Thankful I keep asking the Lord, reveal minds

All that shadow boxing with me, can't steal shine
I been numb to so much, but feel fine
I just wanna cruise through the city and feel time
Or hear this over Riesling, watch the real whine, I

I be the example (see why)
I hoped I'd be ample (the kind)
Too dope for one sample (the high)
Heads nod and hips scramble (see I)

Had confidence trampled (now my)
My doubts are dismantled (now I)
Put clowns near my mantle (cowhide)
On wax my groove candles (how fly)

I be the example (see why)
The vibes are too ample (please I'm)
Too dope for one sample (the high)
Will make ya hips scramble (see I)

Had confidence trampled (now my)
My doubts are dismantled (how I)
Leave crown on my mantle (that's why)
On wax it's new candles (how fly)

Apologies for not being worth the time
I, showed love, and all you showed were signs

In an age where fake is the aesthetic
I realized for some, it is genetic
