Between The Lines Lyrics

Reminiscing back to my old days

Thinking how I'm stuck in my old ways

25 now and I live down south

"I don't give a fuck, just make my folks proud"

That's my mentality

Lately I been thinking about reality

Lately I been feeling like everybody after me

I just feel like I'm becoming who I had to be

"uh"

And I ain't take shit for granted

Always kept it cool, shit I kept myself planted

I ain't ever planned this, keep my head low in the mist of the madness

Eyes on the planet cause the sky ain't my limit

Make y'all remember my life while I'm in it

Everything I'm saying, yeah I have envisioned

In the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit

Preaching on the beat yeah rap's my religion

I been feeling good shit I'm feeling so different

Feeling lke I'm finding pieces that was missing

Got too many angels for them not to listen

They been sending blessings, yeah I feel so gifted

This year been tough but I'm really serious when I say I really got 20/20 vision

Look

Just gotta stay focused

Can't lose control man people really hopeless

Yeah I really wrote this

Tryna put on for my city, hope the notice

My mind so chosen so you know the thoughts made the kid so outspoken

Never sugar coat it, keep it real

Letting y'all know how I feel

Coming from the south, shit I gotta rep the Ville

Coming from the south, shit be hot as hell

90 degrees so the angles gotta be right

I'm up all night with this damn mic

So I'm not alone

Did time with this microphone

Hear the growth I can tell I've grown

I been stuck in the booth

But the booth is my room

Or the booth is my mind so I take it everywhere I go

Shit I'm always spitting truth

You don't know me put yourself in my shoes

Size 12 homeboy what it do

That means these shoes are too big for you

So what the fuck am I to do

Lowkey your boy been making all these moves

I don't bring them to the light

Til it's time to live what I fucking write

Daddy always told me, don't let anybody hold me down

"Fuck them all, you a king, better wear your fucking crown"

"Fuck what they say shit fuck the way that they sound"

"If they talking shit better put them in the fucking ground"

But I never been about no violence

Man I rather kill them with some kindness

Never been a bitch but you know I hit a switch

When the time comes just to invite it

Look

So my roots really different

Aiming for the sky while y'all aiming for the ceiling

Tryna take myself to a place, a place where everything be so vivid

I was trying to paint this image

Now I'm just chilling

I ain't worried about y'all, man I spit it so raw, fuck your feelings

Really I'm just living

Man most of y'all be tripping

Get your shoelaces tied

"Look"

Put all that bullshit aside

"Uh"

People always talking

I'm just tryna do that walking

Yeah you know I'm always hawking

You can call me Brian Dawkins

You can go bring that chalk in

Cause you know I'm tryna kill shit

I been feeling like all I do is spit real shit

They don't really hear it

Pain in my lyrics

Spitting this shit like it was a benediction

We sending prayers up

For all the hard times God gave to us

It was shaping us

And look it us now

Shit I know it's been a while

I been holding shit down

Tryna make my folks proud

Ain't no love in this world so I love to make them smile

Yeah we headed to the top cause we coming from the south

And I learned silence sometimes has a sound

But this ain't the time

I got 4 minutes to really speak my mind

Spitting this shit like I'm living out my prime

But I'm feeling optimistic that your boy gon' shine

Everybody really wanna talk about they're life

But I'm out here just tryna tape mine

And every now and then I'm just searching for a sign so I heard just read between the Lines
