Burdens Lyrics

Niggas don't wanna reset

But stuck with this burden

Don't say you relate

The black and conscious know my hurtin

Rain forest every night

Noname sense where I'm lurkin

They don't know respect

It's lame

Moksha chips be stacked for splurgin

Free and flying on the 8

It be 10 these days

2 meals the way

Yeah I ate

I let my people have their say

Niggas narratives the same

Who am I supposed to be savin?

Walk this path alone with shame

My blood really have me shakin

I've never been so embarrassed in my entire life

And to think, the people responsible for it

Are my own family! My own flesh and blood

Maybe I did something to hurt you

Is that it?

No no thats not it

Then why?

Despite their words I'm copping next

While keeping toxins from my chest

G.O. therapy taught me best

Your efforts need to be laid to rest

Every relation can't be saved

Forced to lean when I ain't been paid

Treading the line between

Real respect and silent trippin

Still on my own when pain hittin

Why these the niggas that I'm missin?

Won't refrain from any dissin

Hear the whispers when I'm shittin

Clean cuttin been difficult

This family like a Disney cult

A Cartoon Network stan

But Propaganda strong as meemaw's belt

Don't get me started on trauma

Whoopings whippings master momma

Fingers pointed you drama

It's an ellipsis not a comma

Nigga

So why bother?

Bond something round a solder

Bide the time and let go

Follow my heart like Jon Snow

Always knew I was royalty

Grind so everyone can see it

Self love what anointed me

Set blocks and be free shit

Stop

asking

B

why

Um

So the conversation i'm going to be having with you today

Is not an easy one to process

And i'm not gonna pretend that it is

But we need to start talking about it

Every inch of pain that was ever caused

Was with the motivation of saying that behind pain

There is an odd of endurance

She glamorized it in my life to such an extent

That I believed

In order to ever achieve something

Pain is a part of it

And honestly that's something a lot of us have grown up learning

But that's the problem right

You start thinking that when you beat a child

It might be for discipline

It might be to ingrain some information into the child's mind

But is that actually what you're doing?

Or is it that peaceful conversation children have with their parents

After they've been hit

That actually teaches them what was right or wrong

We often associate pain to a lesson

But is the child not performing that behavior because the child is afraid?

Or has the child actually learned why it's wrong?
