Eleven

Live in the moment, I never do
Too worried, stressing 'dwelling on my negative thoughts
They got the best of me
Took my confidence and squandered it
There's nothing left of me or left in me, I'm empty see
All I got is empathy, a penny for my thoughts
I'm underpaid for these epiphanies
The least that you could do is hear me out instead of listening
The difference in nodding your head and moving your feet
See my mission is to make 'em peep everything that I speak
When you play this shit, hopefully it resonates wit' your soul
I can take this shit deeper, we ain't even scratched the surface yet
Still searching for my purpose, persecuted by my fragile mind
Stand tall within these frantic times
The world is fucking cold, it leave you froze like 3 below
I hope I don't ever break, keep it together I will
I feel like I'm on to something
My intuition buzzing like hummingbirds
I heard through the grapevine I got that honey nectar sweet shit
That shit them niggas serving overpriced high [?] shit
Saturated, [?] and fast, [?] the raps
I lacerate and trim the fat to get down to the nitty gritty
Ain't no structure in your shit, your foundation'll fold
It'll crumble fo' sure, oh, oh

Said ain't it something I, I
Said I know if I take my time, time
Said I know if we take our time, time
Then we can get it in due time, time
Never let you block my shine, shine
Never let you block my shine, shine
Never let you take what's mine, mine
Never let you take what's mine, mine
I know if we take our time, time, time

My heart and mind, they both aligned with my spirit, I swear
They told me patience is a virtue, take heed and believe it
The route of evil, well it's money, is how some see it
But not the ones that down and out, 'cause they actually need it
With mouths to feed but not enough funds
To get through the week and bi-weekly payroll
The next cheque don't come in 'till next week, already spent most
But that's just tryna stay on your feet
Just staying afloat, but cracks in your boat hoping it don't sink
But hope can only take you so far, it's low mileage
Ya ain't gotta take my word as the gospel, I'm nobody
I'm just speaking from experience and talking to myself, oh, oh

Said ain't it something I, I
Said I know if I take my time, time
Said I know if we take our time, time
Then we can get it in due time, time
Never let you block my shine, shine
Never let you block my shine, shine
Never let you take what's mine, mine
Never let you take what's mine, mine
I know if we take our time, time, time
