Wings (Roost) Lyrics

I got this monkey on my back and we reside in cahoots

Sun is shining and I wonder why I'm feeling uncouth

Dig my digits in the dirt trying to combine wit my roots

I been flying for so long that I forgot how to roost

I was lying to myself had to align with my truth

Often times in this life I can't decide what to do

I been blinded by surmises peep my iris for proof

I exist behind my eyelids trying to hide in the moot

I been dancing in the mirror trying to retrace my steps

Choreography is spotty and I'm dating myself

Funds lost in trivial pursuits I'll rebate my wealth

Angels watching over me I wanna replace they deaths

Demons lounging on my shoulder whispering in my ear

Sometimes I wanna listen but the language ain't clear

Every day I'm facing off with everything that I fear

Trying to revel in success like it is rare that I fail

I don't care bout the fame

Niggas that I never met they recognize me by name

And they acting like I owe 'em got me racking my brain

Got this monkey on my back sometimes he drive me insane

I just wanna fly away but niggas hack at my wings

I just wanna live a normal life

Raise a couple kids, pray they inherit my overbite

I'll tell 'em what is wrong even though I'll never know what's right

But how can I be present to my family I'm a poltergeist

Apparently I disappeared but I don't feel the distance here

I don't feel the pressure closing in on every instance here

I can't hear the dissonance my visual is crystal clear

Wanted to be closer but I'm fizzling away into the hemisphere

Know my hemoglobin low

Probably told somebody every lyric to this song but the words was jokes

But I ain't joking tho and I ain't wanna choke no more

Telling you the truth like I wrote this while I'm under oath
