Lightning In A Bottle

(album: This Can't Be It - 2020)

It's just one of those things, ya know?
It's like uh, you feel it's right there

The work we put in feel like the poster child
I know my wife feels like it's overtime
Said that I'd be home at 9
It's almost 10
I guess that I was wrong again
Who wants to be a millionaire?
I'll phone a friend
Said it's the blue jeans baby
That's my final answer
I'm a tiny dancer
Ain't your momma teach you, mind your manners?
Rappers know the boss
Separate us like the grocery line
Staring at the clock like it owe me time
I've been linking up with God
We got an open line
Tryna have the tough combos
With an open mind
Said Nic get in the game
Boy you sounding like a coach of mine
You got a catch 'em it's the game
Boy, Pokemon
It feels weird
I'm honing in on what I'm focused on
Like tryna get 'em sing along
If they know the song
I'm just tryna figure out
Where my emotions gone
And if I'm doing the right thing
With what I'm supposed to want

Lightning in a bottle
Lightning in a bottle

I got lightning in a bottle
Chasing stars, Aristotle
Gotta leave a good impression
Gotta watch it, ain't a fossil
I'm appalled like the apostle
Had to dive into the gospel
God knows like a nostril
My God, thought I lost you
(Lightning in a bottle)
I'm cool with people deciding to look right past
Often it looks like what you want is just that
It looks like that
We want we acquire
We want we acquire
Then we forget what we have
Say "woops, my bad"
People tryna grow careers off of arguments
Turn beef into a cash cow
Easy to see through a glass house
When you form a web of lies it's easy to track down
Don't be a hypocrite
Don't just be nice in situations you where think you can benefit
You got the bar set low, like the limbo
I'mma start calling y'all Carl cause your Winslow
People sleeping on my bars cause they ain't punchlines
They just real life so when they live it, it'll hit them sometimes
They just like me in that box, ya know? Keep me confined
I'm hungry for it and I'm tired of waiting like the lunch line
But God's time has no flaws
If you learn something it's no loss
[?]
Means eventually we go, yard
It's just probability
Should'a never told me I had a chance
So there was a possibility
God willingly gave us free will
Get full or be filled
Be still and know
