Academy Freestyle

(album: Nobody's Happy All The Time - 2022)

So much inside of me
Like a show car there's no driving me
Off the deep end cause I've been there
And I'd like to thank the academy
For all the times that acted like
My afterthoughts had no afterlife
Being too different can take its toll
Authenticity has its price

My pain trickle when the sample run
I get right to it I don't have to run
I got one life I got one wife
I got one kid I'm bout to add 2
And this pen don't move itself
I got things to say that I never felt
I got stones unturned that I never rolled
I got stories here that I never told

Lately I been seasick
My heart vroom like a v6
FaceTime my sister
Everyday I miss her
Haven't even met my niece yet
Got an old friend going through things
I wish I could take all that pain away
I wanna be the one that you can come to
And that good news just a day away
I put my life on blast
No highlights
No shiny lights
No peddy hype
I steady write
To save my life
Cause without this
I might just fade away
Like hardaway into harder days
But I prefer the Shawn Carter way
I make the song cry while I encore
I got everything I don't want more
I see it all from the top floor
To be honest with you
I just paint a picture
Based on things that I fought for
39th Ave to Sherman Oaks
From my pops basement just burning smoke
God watching on me yeah
God watching on me

And he never miss
Yeah I know
Nobody's happy all the time
That's something that they don't quite show
Let it go
