Winter in September Lyrics

This is not real, it's just a dream

Please, wake up, wake up, wake up

Yeah, I'm tryna find a way

But it's kinda late when all of the skies are grey

But I crawl out of my hiding place

And I ain't fake, do you see a smiling face?

This keeps me up all night and day

But we're polar opposites and that's the fight I face

I'm waking up at nine or eight

Just to be let down, another try of finding change (Change)

It's like we're taking flight with open eyes

Flowing into demise, diving into the side of caves

Uh, is there a point in even tryna save?

Cause this canvas I been on is left with drier paint (Paint)

Claustrophobic poet but I maintain motion

Displaying emotions for the tidal wave

Uh, I think I need a wider frame

The picture's closing in

I say goodbye, disguising fate, aye

And I'm right back on the beat

Tryna make amends with all these sins

But the past is haunting me

Imma play pretend but it's paper thin

Not no stacks on my car seat

Talking masks and a heartbeat that's boomin'

Yuh, and it's fuelling this darker music

I don't know what the art's gettin' fuelled with

But I got passion and starving to use it

Maybe abuse it, bruisin' the canvas

Two-hunnid plants stop bloomin'

And it's leaving my garden in ruins

From the leaves to the bottom of roots

And I can't take being locked in this room

Cause this mental fuse gets sparked then it booms

And I don't wanna go down a path

Where the waves just crash and I'm drowning fast

Tryna stay afloat, make a boat through these verses

Disperse and observe the shift in the currents

Drowning when I'm tryna keep up with what's current

Frowning cause then all of my dreams will not flourish

Make waves in the industry, it's so bittersweet

But I'm the clown in the circus swerving

Doin' 180 on the highway, might veer in the lake

Cause rappers be willing to give up an ear just to paint for the greats

Then you hear what's at stake

I'm penning verses all day to make it in the game

Then I'm workin' way harder once I have it obtained just to keep it

The reaper gon' snatch on my chain

Pull on my neck then stab me with his cane

Okay, I think I'm losin' my brain

Cause a sky that was once seen as blue is now grey

All of the hues start to change

And I try to escape but I'm movin' in place

The devil abusin' the pain

Tucked away in a room without panes

But y'all view it through a haze

The colour painted on the roof just drains

God has been givin' me challenges

And the devil has been tempting me

Do I push through all the obstacles?

Or do I sip the poison desperately?

Methamphetamine and ecstasy mix for an overdose, but it's all metaphorical

Do you see floral doors rotting?

Don't answer that, it's rhetorical
