Oakland Ave Catalpas

Ain't I just a stone tryna roll on
Tryna hold on
As I lay me down
Tryna hold on
Ain't I just a stone tryna roll on
Up and down these peaks tryna hold on
(Oh)
And I lay me down
(Yeah, yeah)
Hold on

And for the record I did not protect, I left Earth
You probably would have done that better
I could not hold it all together
Neglected all these vectors
Let the pixels blow apart the box like Saturn missiles
Everything everywhere
I swear I couldn't care more
Daydreaming about some airport
On some
Anywhere but here
On some
Any time to take me from
I'm in the quiet, so silent you can hear it thump
And it creeps in quick
A grip I cannot slip
Down in the dregs
You might compromise, but don't ever let 'em see you beg
A couple years just blanked by
If I really missed the bus
I was underneath the wheel
I got fucking crushed
I feel dumb, I feel sentimental
That makes me feel weak
Used to feeling so solid rolling up and down these peaks, ah
Never quit like my theme song, but this beat down just keeps on
Makes me want to fold up
And turn the screen on but I roll on

Ain't I just a stone tryna roll on
Tryna hold on
As I lay me down
Tryna hold on
Ain't I just a stone tryna roll on
Up and down these peaks tryna hold on
And I lay me down
(Uh, yeah, yeah)
Hold on

I don't cry, I don't whine, I don't flinch
I just take that shit
I get it, got it, when I left your bed and cleaned out your closet
Had it, lost it
Got it back hostage
It's kind of it, but it's not it
My love is different than I thought
I thought that strength would be my fix
I had to give up my control
I had to learn how to submit
I've got no quit in me, no piece of me, no bit of me at all
So picture me yelling, screaming, beating on this brick wall
I'm not mad boy, I stay rad
I don't do sad boy
I search and I find joy
I smirks and I destroys, I
Paint with every color in the palette
Kafka automatic
The way I transform the malice
To a full-fledged badass
Motherfucker
Chugging down the rails
My life like a skate tape
'Greatest fails'
Once you get the first good deep scrape
No longer afraid to fail, face first
Stumbles ain't no trouble, bumpy knuckles wrangle love
Learn to let it go when it goes wrong
Big downs, big ups
And so on and so on

Ain't I just a stone tryna roll on
Tryna hold on
As I lay me down
Tryna hold on
Ain't I just a stone tryna roll on
Up and down these peaks tryna hold on
And I lay me down
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
