What Goes Around Lyrics

I been running on empty

Feeling shallow and cold

Sometimes I really wish this world

would just swallow me whole

Mama said that all that acting out

Is coming in back to bite you now

And you gonn' pay for every time

You opened up your lying mouth

I know I should remain strong

Lift my head and pray on

Give the lord a reason to forgive the sins I've made home

And I don't know if its pride

Or misaligned perception

But I've been looking at my friends

Like they've been lacking protection

And I don't know if its pride

Or misaligned perception

But I've been looking at my friends

Like they're the enemy's weapon

(I recon

I recon)

Hey yo

A lesson in the message

Just to lessen the tension

I rock visions of paying off all my debts

But never phone the fam at midnight

Or having to call collect

'Cuz most of y'all only know the Kody

Spitting on stage

But there's a whole lotta text

That couldn't fit up on the page

A lot of

Walking in place

And even more self doubt

Yo I've been thankful to those faithful

And all that helped out

Cuz the chances I've been granted yo

And all of the opportunities

Caused a some self reflection through a

Feeling that's been new to me

'Cuz i appreciate the hand

More than y'all can understand

When it felt like I was sinking

You gave me a place to stand

Sometimes it's hard to be sad

In this beautiful life we live

Sometime it's hard to be happy

Despite my wife and my kids

You ever just hate your reflection

God is gracefully given?

Like I don't wanna meet this man

If was made in His image

I feel ashamed up at the mental state

I'm tryna avoid

Wishing my privileges was something I could try and enjoy

Oh boy
