Black Orchid ft. Diaphanie Lyrics

I got on Nina Simone feeling good it's a new day

Blow tomorrow anything he do or say the new wave

Pledge to myself promise wouldn't break

Couldn't talk me off the ledge took a leap of faith

Heard it was stretch goals I'm reaching for

Well if it ain't to be the best what else I'd be here for

My life scanning all the pieces on the chess board

Always made sure my best move when I stepped forward

Don't wanna wind up like could've been, should've been, would've been

Wanna see you do well but not as good as them

Saw the hunger in the youngster they took him in

Everything clearer from the outside looking in

Can't buckle before they latch on

Know you gotta leave get your rap on come back before they catch on

Didn't know what I was walking into

Vultures hovering careful what they talk you into

Saying no strings attached what they got you into

Lips moving fast tongue sharp as Ginsu

They was in his camp not his corner

Became a lone soldier chapter ends with no closure

More calm cool collected than he ever been

It's no sweat still brought the heat he said he'd bring

Better respect every second, minute, hour

Nowadays lucky if you live to get your flowers
