Outro (SMS) Lyrics

Shed my skin, Lord

Shed my skin

Shed my skin, Lord

Shed my skin

Hunting for myself in these beats

I'm only one alive who can compete with me huh

I repeat

Huh

Hunting for myself in these beats

I'm only one alive who can compete with me huh

I repeat

Huh

Mentality of a boy self taught to be man

Surviving my only plan

Huh

This hunger not new to me

The rumble in my stomach is what's shaking the trees

You ain't been in depths as deep as these the

Breath of the beast

Blessing the mic with waves of fire when I speak huh

Shed it with machete this more than a melody

The remedy is to change the man that's inside of my memory

Lending me a path to catch a charge from committing felonies

Enemies tried to push me that way but now they in debt to me

Member day I doubted myself

Said

Alex you gone make it

This a dream had a by many

Achieved by a few

But I see my mama crying

I can't give up on you

You had dreams to live in a house with a working stove and a tv

Look where we at ma

You had dreams to fly from Kenya to here

Be a teacher

Look where we at ma

I pray I got your genes

And I achieve my dreams

God dean it true I plead

But for now we here

Can't wait for a miracle gotta preserver

Suppress how I feel I ain't got time for tears

But it surfaces when I write that's there's clear

But what I write I fear I tremble it smears

Aaliyah narrative a child prodigy jetting to a end that's near

Hear hear

I fear for speaking my truth

Scared for words spoken in booth

In youth I speak it into pillows but now I remove it turn it into profit like a fairy to a wisdom tooth

Who'd knew?

These growing pains unbearable I'm splitting the cocoon

And what emerges will be the soul to save my home

Bloodline

Brothers falsely imprisoned for fake crimes

End late nights of mothers replaying how their child died

Or might

So I mark this record as new beginning

Join me in revolution for our new religion

This the intro to my outro

Shedding my skin so I can grow

She'd my skin

So I say this is the outro

Outing all of my pain

I promise I'm gunna change

This is a new me

And to myself if I lose sight or focus please put this on repeat

Remember that this is bigger than you or me

And to the ears this lands upon

I hope you keep faith and

Keep pushing each day

Ignore what the others might say

And for this to be the outro

I must shed my skin

And allow a new form to take hold free from my sin

Shed my skin, Lord

Shed my skin

Shed my skin, Lord

Shed my skin
