lyrics

What ain’t meant to hold us together meant to tear us apart
I saw God in her face her pole is bearing her cross
Bear hugging the fam who couldn’t bear with the loss
I barely shed a tear when granny was buried at all
I saw God in her facial features featured wrinkled in time
You can spot the grief in her smile lines
Frozen emotions tundra with motives
Flatlined then revived from the hopeless reporting live from the locust
Desolate land with no trees in sight
I’m Destined for plans I struggle to execute right
Back against the wall but i ran it up with flat feet
I could’ve got you laid down for a flat fee
Put my stamp down on how I address ya
Paid extra to prioritize my expressions

Lectures were designed for the loose leaf
I heard Lessons are for those of us who lose sleep
I heard God work on the corner of 1st and 15th with AirPods on twirling company signs to make ends meet
I heard God once beat karma at a track meet
The Gun pow nah he’s a goner cause he didn’t think
We were only taught to move off of instinct
I spotted the hate that was caught in between your eye blink


They say Heaven is miles tall but it’s paved on the smallest road
Gotta pocket full of change although change can take a toll
The rain meant to clear the windows to the soul
The pain overheard that growth is the goal
Really don’t need more of a reason
Introduced my morbid demons to Morgan freeman
Broke me out of my prison freed me from people pleasing
The same people i'm trying to please are the same ones trying to leave
The ones that I cut away are the ones that’s down to bleed
I can hold it all in together or I can swallow my pride
Or pretend my life’s perfect but purpose don’t come through with lies
But His purpose is perfect He can turn accidents to surprise
Its a trip traveling down the thoughts of my mind
I can have it altogether in here but the world is outside


Lectures were designed for the loose leaf
I heard Lessons are for those of us who lose sleep
I heard God work on the corner of 1st and 15th with AirPods on twirling company signs to make ends meet
I heard God once beat karma at a track meet
The Gun pow nah he’s a goner cause he didn’t think
We were only taught to move off of instinct
I spotted the hate that was caught in between your
