Lot To Give

(album: How We Intended - 2021)

Lot to prove, lot to lose
Lotta weight, gotta move
Gotta wait, gotta choose
Gotta drink lotta fuel
Gotta pay lotta dues
Gotta wake, lotta snooze
Gotta play by the rules
Lotta days gotta lose
Lotta fake, lotta news
Lottery chances slim
Lotta they fancy him
Lot em say, "can't be him"
Gotta stay champion
Til lot of they champion
Lotta hope, lotta pain
Lot was lost, more was gained
For the fame
Lotta folks I won't name had lot of jokes
Lotta smoke, gotta see
Lot is said, gotta be
Lot misled, gotta teach
Lotta men got envy hidin
Lotta folks who got a lot got lots of emptiness inside em
Lotta loss, gotta build
Lotta blocks got lotta ills
Lotta got the issues got a lot who got em locked to kill
Lotta dark, gotta shine
Lotta hearts don't gotta be
Lotta mouths who got a lot to say if they just got to speak

We don't really got a lot of time
Got a lot of time, no no
And I done gave a lot of mine
A lot of mine no it don't grow
But you ain't gotta got a lot to got a lot to give
You ain't gotta got a lot to got a lot to give
You ain't gotta got a lot to got a lot to give, no

They was sleepin now they tryna eat
Bitch, I don't want a bed and breakfast
I wanna get em back I feel myself gettin selfish
Tryna figure what success is
Living free and wreckless
Beating the check to check shit
That when you drop the check shit
I tried to knock one tried to make shit that they all impressed with
Shit, it's hard to reach objectives when it's all subjective
I think success is feelin blessed with all that you've been blessed with without needing all that bad dopamine that we all inject with
That buzz from that buzz in my pocket ain't a good high
But fuck playin the good guy
They tried to play me they tried to paint me with a blindfold instead of usin their good eye
I pitched and they passed on me and their cultures were like "good eye"
And I want take a bat to em, but fuck his retribution
I get live each day with passion
Kids live in destitution in our own very nation
Feel like my soul can relate
I'm a complicated union of these emotional states
So is success findin peace?
Cause I got a lotta problems but got even more to give
Is it bout what I get or bout what I can bring?
If I don't leave my successes to loot, can I still be big?
Let me know

We don't really got a lot of time
Got a lot of time, no no
And I done gave a lot of mine
A lot of mine, no it don't grow
But you ain't gotta got a lot to got a lot to give
You ain't gotta got a lot to got a lot to give
You ain't gotta got a lot to got a lot to give, no
