Pieces

JONES, TOM NEVILLE

I’m on a mission, God
Some say impossible
But, I am possible is all I see
When you have fallen to the pits, it’s unlikely
You stay long, reaching heights strong, with all might, E
See
But it’s harder to feel that with a cushion
Gravitational pulls are resistant to my pushing
On top of everybody’s expectations
Whether it’s greatness or since I’m young, to be complacent
They see stability, I see a barrier
I’m tryna bury her
Fuck the feelings and dealings of being fancier
They tryna carry her
When nothing’s left to worry ‘bout
You see what’s scarier
And for me, that’s never succeeding
And I ain’t referring to me ever getting on knees, and
Not to mention day ones looking for they ones
Times that by the hundreds, it’s fuck the world ‘til they day comes
It’s my fault for being a giver
Not considering in need, I would never get a sliver
When the broken becomes the fixer
Keeping the frame and letting them get the picture
Constant worries of who gon’ have my back
And who’s just looking to get a stack
‘Cause I’m
Levitating
Waiting for the day I blow up like I’m detonating
Tell me will that day be exciting or really devastating?
This life ain’t all peaches
It’s like glass, I’m just giving you the pieces
Transparent, look and reflect, no choice but to get warm
Heated under pressure, no choice but to take form
So fragile, too many fragments lost in the shatter
Remaining “solid,” but never feeling like you “matter”
Just madder
Rough on the edges, they dropping us hard
Swept up all the pieces
Left us with nothing but shards
The time is flying
I’m seeing familiar moods
The generational cycles and tarnished silver spoons
I’m oxidized from drowning in all those killer ‘soons
Forcing myself up for air and it’s a different fume
See, I’m learning how to breathe again, Toni
I see the beginning, can’t help it that you see the end, homie
Where I was, man, it used to be lonely, ‘til I decluttered my mind, got on my grind, now this lonely’s feeling real homey, homie
Never easier, it’s just I’m getting better
Play my songs, it won’t be long before you see the treasure
There’s life in the music, and music is lit
So when you roll with the punches, everything is a hit
‘Cause I was
Searching for blessings to stunt on niggas deceiving
Learning the lessons to realize I needed healing
What a feeling
When every burden you had’s being lost
Epiphanies are just coming to keep you charged
Up
Now I gotta get it, no time to be a loser
Early bird gets the worm, I’ll be the rooster, the future
While these niggas remain in the past
Worried ‘bout where I used to be, ‘cause that’s where they still at
That’s when I’ll choose to chill and spark the highs
‘Cause nothing lasts forever, not even the darkest times
That’s when I’ll choose to chill and spark the highs
‘Cause nothing lasts forever, not even the darkest times
But
This life ain’t all peaches
It’s like glass, I’m just giving you the pieces
