Behind The Veil

Come on, go with me, behind the veil
Come on, go with me, behind the veil
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Mom said you need to find someone to call your own
She said trust me, you don't wanna be 50 and alone
When I think I found something real, I stay for way too long
With the ones who had a sheltered life but they can't make a home
I just say it is what it is when I be hurting
Like a volcano, you'll never see me bubble on the surface
Protect your peace doesn't mean go be a shitty person
She said I wish y'all realized that nothing will be perfect
I think we're too selfish now, full of shit like Elvis now
Think all of these DMs got us looking too embellished now
Everybody's outside, nobody wants to settle down
Dating pool got shit in it, I'm a go and get a towel
We all think they're replaceable until they're all gone
And we never think we're replaceable, it's all wrong
She said I'm sorry dear, it's looking shaky like a fawn
But you don't want some dead grass just to say you have a lawn
Come on, go with me, behind the veil
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
Back against the wall, still I had to make a move though
When push come to shove, mothafucka I'm a sumo
I'd rather make a sale, I don't get paid off of kudos
Feeling like I'm Harold Melvin, shit I need some blue notes
Grew up with no hope, so you had to go and be it
Never wanna let your people down, so you guarantee it
But your confidence about the same size as the Fiat
And your vision is a mirage, only you can see it
Waiting for your time, feel like the verdict of a trial
And every day the pressure just keeps adding to the pile
Something like the Joker dawg I rock a constant smile
Take a walk up in my shoes, I bet you wouldn't last a mile
My best advice to you is just to go and find your purpose
I know that pain of feeling like everything ain't working
Used the last of your bread, you're thinking is this worth it
And every step forward starts to feel more like a burden
That exact moment is when you have to keep moving
You know a couple waves never stop a shark's movement
I failed so many times, but that was me being a student
Some people will just never win, cause they're afraid of losing
You know the path is longer when you're trying to find a new way
Just know it's perfect timing even when it's feeling too late
Darkest before dawn, I know it's looking dark today
But open up them blinds, you'll see the light for a new day
