Sanctuary

(album: Smile, You're Alive! - 2021)

God damn shit jumping
Pittsburgh doing numbers
Lawrenceville got crazy, turnt up all summer
Whole joint went bizerk
Shawty wine when she work
Got the vibes all wavy
Made me sweat through my shirt
Music is my escape
And Music take me away
Take me up all night
So I can get through the day
The life takes my control, and I can't find my way
There's only one way to go
I flee to find my place

This my sanctuary, this is where I go out
This my sanctuary, this is where I show out
No, I ain't tryna show off, I'm just tryna go off
Turn up in the function, only way I know how
This my sanctuary, this is where I show out

I remember I was eating my top ramen for dinner
Only had a couple dollars, felt my pockets get thinner
Momma said it's gon be fine cause baby boy you a winner
Man I felt like a failure, how am I gon get through the winter
I went MIA
In my mind felt like outer space
Went to work, been dreaming about touring outta state
Cause one day I'll be on my way

This my Sanctuary, this is where I go out
This my Sanctuary, this is where I show out
No, I ain't tryna show off, I'm just tryna go off
Turn up in the function, only way I know how
This my sanctuary, this is where I show out

Ain't tryna be like no one
Ain't tryna act like nothing
Just tryna be myself, be all up in yo' function
We leave the world outside, feel freedom from that dungeon
Can we escape our minds?
Man, that ain't no discussion
In my mind, I feel ok (WHOO)
Don't get in my way
Rumble with the demons everyday
Ali Boombaye Ali Boombaye Ali Boombaye
Rumble in the jungle, fix your face you gon' learn today
No, I ain't tryna show off, I'm just tryna go off
Turn up in the function, only way I know how
This my sanctuary, this is where I show out
