The Essence Lyrics

Yeah, it's the calm before the perfect storm

Kept on writing, it gets worse the more that I try to suppress the fact that I'm not the right person for her

But I could've sworn that when she called me from her dorm

Looking for some loving or a reason to have something on her sweetheart back home when he wasn't informed

It's been a dozen or more, sorry I missed your calls

Too busy tryna convince 'em I'm 'bout to lift us off, never flip or switch at all

Cut out from a different cloth

Values I held close came splitting off and ended up in verses I never finished but this was all DIY

I'd be surprised if you were ever realer than I billed you as 'cause so far, you like CSI

Only with the drama and the surface-level tea is why you'll never be eating fine as I when you eating fine

Rising above you, to me, a piece of pie

Don't let her call you easy, guy

Don't let me give you film noir visions of me and some women sipping tequila after the pinot

Mi casa, su Casamigos

I gave what you need most

On Beastmode, on Deebo, on anyone who try to be frugal in this casino

Every .wav from me feel like a heat stroke

To me, it's light as free throws

Nearly thirty-three, she need a freak though

Own a biz but steering in a leased though

Ever since you went out like Olivia Rodrigo, the sweet and sour hitting instead of the spicy miso

She hold it down from Rox and the cherry on top is a maraschino

Recording sessions are very much Tarentino

Grew up bumping Ali and Gotti and Jay and Primo

Back when everything was always all about bragging to 'em

It's only right I'm paying homage with my ego, but who knew?

Put some U2 on the Bluetooth

It's a million things she glued to and not a single one of 'em I'm new to

That's too true for YouTube

On the verge of ending my stream of consciousness here but the numbers doing JuJu

When life gave her lemons, she went to Lulu

Another day of to-do's and posing in my mirror, they closer than they appear to be

That being said, not a single would shed a tear for me

Even with our history, I'll pull up to the pier and I'll guarantee you sincerity

Knew when I was claiming this vision, we lost our clarity

Besides, I'm not about to be out here taking your charity

I find my ideas my ideal form of therapy

You deal more with paralegals, I deal with la musica, my vocals on some kerosene

I was not aware that our fragile lives weren't a guarantee

Until I moved to Dot and dawg, honestly, it's been scaring me

And this is all before they try to tear at me, rip me up and embarrass me

The time is coming, I'm becoming something they won't dare to be

Apparently, the kid got his zone in it momentarily

Just wait on it, my head perked up

No thirties, just love verse lust

It's been "fuck them" since it's been "fuck us" (Mm)

Right, so you have to have this knowing that

Okay, it may not work today, it may not work tomorrow

But, this is the right thing and this what I'm doing and this is what's feeding me

So, I would, that would, that would be the best advice that I can, I can give you

That knowing, just, just believe in what you're doing

And if it's, and if you don't believe it then you're not doing it

You, then you haven't figured out the thing that you do best yet

When you feel it and when you know, no one can tell you, it

You only have to be right once
