Note To Self Lyrics

You ain't been doing what you 'sposed to do, my nigga

You ain't been moving how you 'sposed to move, you truant nigga

Saying you waiting for a time to prove, just do it nigga

You rocking stripes but ain't been earning yours or moving figures

Claiming your people just don't understand the movement

And the content you perusing

Just to drop and move like you been

At the top, shooting music

Through they veins

Claiming you here to stay

Reluctant to hit the stage

Then shocked when they scream your name

Propping up those around, forgetting the ones who came

When you wasn't the same young nigga paving a lane

For the youth

Still ashamed of the truth

Boy, you afraid of the booth

Different days but colors

Is all the same when the proof

Hits your face

You prolly been losing sleep

Praying you make it soon or catastrophe strikes your seat

Knocking you off your feet and leaving your mind a haze

Then you'd have an excuse for not making it off the page

You talking like you the one and still wondering how to dream

Showing 'em how it's done then forgoing the lights to flee

How you been skipping flasks to trip and talk out your ass

'Bout niggas wearing a mask and struggling just to breathe

You should be in the fray when they talking bout who to beat

Talking bout who was dropping the best of verses and schemes

Different cadences too

Boy, you know what the fuck I mean

You been taking it easy 'cause you ain't tryna believe

That you been one of the greatest since you was just seventeen

All alone in your room penning all alone for your team

Driven beyond belief, you writing like yous a fiend

Future was hot balloons and the music was your release

Kept you grounded and soon it would take you to higher peaks

Different places

Scenes getting changes

Vacants to plane tix

Portraits painted, pain sticks to dayshifts

Take trips to work then flake on vacations

See, I know you want to move different

I know you building community 'cause you scared to lose control

And sit alone in your mischief

Hope you paying attention

You the one who needs support

But never asks 'cause you scared of being attached to the feeling

Is it need or helplessness

You ain't tryna take the chance finding answers

Rather dance in a cursed existence

What's the point

If I'm breathing, yo, whats the problem

You busy thinking survival is living nigga you wylin

But fuck it

This just talk and the way you're weighing your options

You prolly gon end up flopping, I'm changing the fucking topic

Not the case

Let's be honest who you think you really lying to

Don't forget your conscience is prominent deep inside of you

Signing different deals and posturing just to feel

Preposterous you imposter, impossible bruise to heal

Shit, I know

Yeah, whatever I just hope you don't forget

The only reason you breathing is 'cause I prevent your death

Keep your heart, nigga

Yeah. Keep your heart

Don't forget how you start

And be careful falling apart

Huh

Just keep your heart, nigga

Keep your heart

Keep your heart, nigga

Keep your heart

Don't forget how you start

And be careful falling apart
