expectations

(album: joke's on you - 2021)

Used to think I knew you
But that thought passed through
Skeletons speak softly
You got bones in your room
Can't think past two
'Cause my thoughts black and blue
Can't shake it off, sorry
Elephant in the room
'Cause I was just growing up
In high school, your friends had better grades than us
And more money than us, I wasn't giving it up
I know you're losing my trust, just had to follow it up

Expectation, I'm waiting for you
To tell me I made it up to you
Tryna work on my patience
But twice a day, I be praying to hear from you

If a tree fell in the forest
Those are words from my mouth
They run right past you
Like a star burning out
Misunderstood
You wear a mask on your face, Miss Hollywood
I'm just another page in the pile of books
And you'll forget about me like you probably should
Nowadays, I'm good though
Take it slow if I wanna move solo
I'm me, I'm no silhouette
Take the past and I put it to rest

Expectation, I'm waiting for you
To tell me I made it up to you
Tryna work on my patience
But twice a day, I be praying to hear from you

You had expectations for me
I know, I know
But look how far I've come on my own
I've been on the road

Expectation, I'm waiting for you
To tell me I made it up to you
Tryna work on my patience
But twice a day, I be praying to hear from you
