Miles From Home (Sunset)

(album: Calligraphy - 2021)

Got my luggage, I'm out my budget
Ain't have a way, somehow I still end up miles from home
My circumference, is not redundant
It's ever-changing, yet I still find 'em on my own
I tried to show them folks the way, gotta find your own
I never been one to complain, you gotta grind alone
Ain't have a way, somehow I still end up miles from home
So many faces, but I feel in my mind alone

Yeah, I put all my heart in this bottle
I'm tryna swallow my sorrow
Watching the sunset
And I'm starting to think, would you love me tomorrow?
Floating through time and space
Taking my time to find some space
I gotta stop going outta my way
Tor people that just wanna eat on my plate
I ain't really with the run-around
Fake love always come around
When I'm going up or when it's going down
Ain't no run-around, yeah
Look, I feel the evil inside me
But I'm just tryna find peace
I'm not tryna let it come out
But I don't got a choice if you try me
I've been drowning in my thoughts
Once you're deep, it's easy to get lost
I swear, everybody want a better life
But they don't know the price it really cost, yeah
I don't owe nobody nothing
Too many nights with no food in my stomach
Came out now they want me to plummet
Like four quarters, I keep it a hunnid

Got my luggage, I'm out my budget
Ain't have a way, somehow I still end up miles from home
My circumference, is not redundant
It's ever-changing, yet I still find 'em on my own
I tried to show them folks the way, gotta find your own
I never been one to complain, you gotta grind alone
Ain't have a way, somehow I still end up miles from home
So many faces, but I feel in my mind alone

I feel like Adam in the garden when he sleeping
Toxic is the fruit that I've been eating
Often what you sow is what you reaping
Other times, life is so deceiving
Pick apart the pieces of my demons
Peace of mind has been forever leaving
Drink so much, my feet above the deep end
Dream so much that I don't want no sleeping
Paper-chasing, people think it's easy
Told you how it was, you wouldn't believe me
Man, so many nights, I wasn't eating
Stabbed me in my back and left me bleeding
Picture captions don't even capture half of
Pain I feel just sitting in the bathtub
I ain't gotta sit here and act tough
My life been tough enough
I done been through enough for us
I told my family that I'm tryna minimize it
Who gon' save me if don't?
Second you win, ain't nobody sympathizing
Tattoo on both of the sides of my brain
'Cause the pain is all that they symbolizing
How I sell my art for cheap on the block
'Fore I let somebody come and gentrify it
How much more could I simply it?
I'm tryna reach 'til my arm is an inch from the sky
Or I'm on the last inch of my life
And there ain't no glimpse in my eye
Let the temperature rise
Reason I drive and I don't put no tints on the ride
I'm never afraid to give 'em a glimpse of my mind

Got my luggage, I'm out my budget
Ain't have a way, somehow I still end up miles from home
My circumference, is not redundant
It's ever-changing, yet I still find 'em on my own
I tried to show them folks the way, gotta find your own
I never been one to complain, you gotta grind alone
Ain't have a way, somehow I still end up miles from home
So many faces, but I feel in my mind alone
