Queen For A Day ft. KD the Poet Lyrics

I need the grace that I didn't shout

That usually ain't the case

A glass half full

I seen Slurpee cups filled with hate

Hurry up

Fix your face

Learned enough

Finna chase

At least to know

You don't often get the chance to fix mistakes

Pump my head 'til it deflate

And all I seen just to get to this place

It ain't a simple fate

Hell

But with a different name

Earth

Where everybody want a show but don't pay what you worth

For that

I turn my back on who could probably use the words

Not my proudest moments

Pride can hide the motive

Make you blind to what's important

Find it when it's over

Hardly ever sober

Domino effect

Life a rollercoaster

Got me throwing up

Like it's a set

When I was still plagued with stage fright

Hills come with great heights

The new me and the one from way before don't fight the same fights

Running away from everything you need to face

Right

But you brave

Right

Hope you can accept me

Winners work

But If there's weight on my shoulders then this forty ball gon' hit me where it hurts

I'm burnt out

But not scorned ladies who scorched earth

On the eve of my arrival seen Adam's all on the turf

So where's the man Jay

Show me the work

Like it's a mandate

ID was in denial

Like Patrick talking to Man-Ray

So what to say

Was the violence a mistake

Is the act or am I cray

I'm feeling like Edmund Gaines

Imposter syndrome had me left feeing framed

I couldn't paint any picture

See this clown is a killer

My compositions competition for a larger militia

You have a military presence

I can't tell if we different

My dissonance was on a fence I couldn't jump off

I'm penalized

But we can't end this game on a ten second run off

I'm dumping with the speech

Hard to hide from the police

If you acknowledge who I am

Would I ever let me be

Mmm

To celebrate a guilty verdict

What's done in the dark will eventually come to surface

Is it the type to make Eddie Brocks' show up to churches

In critical condition from accidents on these verses

I got y'all

A Kodak moment

No longer lockjaw

Spit it from the soul with violence

Potential pop offs

Vulnerability in exchange

Promise I'm not soft

Projection

I slid on the draft board

The stock lost

At what cost

The snap of a finger

To make you dance I lose half

But was the sacrifice needed

Many questions need answers

Still will you believe me

If I told you I'm not smart

But these words are my keeper

Intelligence is mistaken for my logic and reason

Impedance of my progression

Is it a shock to you either

I played this game and now you're played

Would you give me a breather

Fake righteous

Poor minded

With reach of a teacher

I'm not Kendrick so stop the nonsense

He wasn't the first person to be introspective on projects

Pathologizing his way to validate every process that is taken so one day he can be studied inside a college

Probably wasn't his goal

He was just a man from Compton

being honest in his art so the crown was easy to digest

I'm insecure if you can't tell

Because if I was to do the same thing

I probably won't be acknowledged

So what line can I represent

I hope it doesn't end with a weapon drawn

But I got the same issues that he had on Father Time so I don't know if I can separate right from wrong

The reason this album is lacking confidence

Not so subtle and you can hear it in every song

Kinda wish parents wouldn't get along

To have an excuse for why I'm not coming home

Adult films were my alcohol and drug addiction

If my mama were to hear this

Tell her to turn it off

I'm embarrassed just to tell the truth

So I ask

Is the rhyme merely just a pawn

I got a lecture while I leave the booth

And maybe many more that just won't exhaust

One more question

Could you hear me

In a forest

While I'm yelling

To the sky

With no one around later on

Queen for a day

It's Jay

Uh

Yeah
