Car Ride

Hey Mr. Officer please let me be
I'm just a black man tryna' make it to 23
We beat the same heart and we bleed the same blood
So besides the way we look what's the difference in you and me? Like
Hey Mr. Officer please give me a break
There's only so much that a soul can possibly take
I wish you would make sense of the reason for all yo' hate
But my plate is full gotta get going can't end up late like

Listening to "Calligraphy"
Killing demons with Saba
Easily ease my soul
And make me dancing like Samba
All of the weight is on me
I'm feeling just like Mufasa
Long live the king
Who seen things
Up to 18
And still dream
'Bout a future without green
Like that is not the sole purpose
When I'm writing down verses
And going to these rehearsals
And late night studio visits
And tryna' pivot my social
And really tryna' stay hopeful
That in the end they actually get what I was tryna' say
So when they say, "You coming?" I say ,"I ain't got time to play"
'Cause I got lives to change
And I got hope to give
They be like have some fun
Like bro you still a kid

Mama say release pressure you to serious
Then my heart and mind intertwine with mysterious cosmos
Which turns into the blessed gift that we call life
But it's alright

Hey Mr. Officer please let me be
I'm just a black man tryna' make it to 23
We beat the same heart and we bleed the same blood
So besides the way we look what's the difference in you and me? Like
Hey Mr. Officer please give me a break
There's only so much that a soul can possibly take
I wish you would make sense of the reason for all yo' hate
But my plate is full gotta get going can't end up late like

Listening to "Amphetamine" fighting spirits with Smino
Try to better my mood, throw on some Childish Gambino
Starting to see the cracks through the paint little do he know
Demons be fiending
Running amuck
Curses be nucking and bucking
I just be running and ducking and diving
Cutting and shucking and jiving rugs
Tryna' get to the plug
Tryna' get to the source of the power from up above
Make everybody smile but nobody showing me love
Fighting back the pain, negativity and the sorrow
Just keep going keep on fighting don't forget to breathe
Put my hand up just to see the light of tomorrow
When I isolate my heart the only time I hear it beat
So every time you feel like you no longer able to fight
Just remember that the darker the dark the brighter the light
Just relax lift your head spread your wings and soar
Because you may have lost some battles but you're gonna win the war
