Telescopes in Ivory ft. NaiqwanWanya Lyrics

(Imprisoned by the past

Hard to receive the gift of the present

We fight to feel his presence, we

Lie through crooked smiles

Crooked halos weight heavy on the mind

But you carry the burdens)

Uh

This wasn't supposed to be the intro

I had something different

Nah, this is something lifted

Yeah, this is overcoming demons

Even those I didn't

Therapy with more precision

Learned to see beauty in this world

By just creating distance

Yet to change here (Hair)

Like Rodman on the 90's Pistons

On a mission

This culmination of what I envisioned

So if you listening still

Let me instill my focus

To whatever fears approaching

Welcome to my Magnum Opus

All been broken

And we all been coping

Still finding hope

In situations that's hopeless

That's why I wrote this

If I

Never say it

Just know I'm tryna make it

Middle of the day

Looking for a constellation, yeah

Searching for a reason deep inside

I wanna see (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Me in the bright lights

Oh, I just wanna be free

(Just wanna be free)

Tell me, oh, can you see?

Tell me, do you believe (Do ya?)

Just a star in the night sky

Telescopes in Ivory

This wasn't supposed to be the intro

This another feel

Tryna count money

Til I'm counting like a hundred mill

I remember struggling

It was too much to pay the bills

Now I'm betting on myself

The devil tryna wager still

But see I'm all in

Don't save me if I fall in

The stars that I been counting

And I currently been lost in

Keep it to myself

So nobody going down with me

Well the answers I was looking for

Were only found in me and I swear

Hurt some people along the way that cared

But don't judge somebody's actions when they're scared

Had my back against the wall

While in isolation

Looking at blue skies finding constellations

Praying

Searching for a reason deep inside

I wanna see (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Me in the bright lights

Oh, I just wanna be free

(Just wanna be free)

Tell me, oh, can you see?

Tell me, do you believe (do ya?)

Just a star in the night sky
