Well as a seed I used to walk beneath the trees
Found myself in the fall, with the rest of the autumn leaves
Who call me by my name and never stop to ask my heart
If I really wanted to spend my time chilling in the dark and shit
I grew up with smiling clowns and and happy simples
Found my way to reality scowling through the window
He said most just take the path and truly fail to comprehend
So they left amongst the rubble when they step into the lion's den
Shit I ain't tryna be another ex executive
I'd rather walk across the world and watch a couple records spin
So I've been roaming my society for clues
But all I hear is the good old days and bad news
Now it ain't much of a story, let alone a happy ending
The dragon took the princess and I went and got suspended
With tears running clear for the years a trust I've broken
I got five days of silence floating in the marijuana smoke
My school of thought taught me how to breathe the air
I sit back and reminisce but who the fuck cares really
Cause every damn I ever chased kids loved to want it
Said they felt the same and left me to be ironic
My sister's off in college and my brother's up in preschool
And I'm just tryna act hard, live smart, and be cool
The playground made me aware and all I do
And I got scars up in my brain and missing teeth and staying true like
Ain't going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust
If you ain't got that then you ain't got much
Ain't going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust
If you ain't got that then you ain't got much
Now my own story it starts with a fake smile
An empty nod, no handshake, or makeshift style
Just a hundred percent it's who I be
This lonely muthafucka whispering into the breeze
My youth, I never said much, just observed
From every single angle held my ear to the curb
So I heard the native tongue that originated from the streets
Adopted a name to place over these here beats
And now I hear em like a metronome
Ticking through dysfuncionalities that'll be here till I'm grown
My brother's struggled most his life and moms is losing it
While my pops in on the edge and my sister's on some high school shit
Misfitted in the paradox view
Im mixing in to the trend and discovering you
Even if they don't carry a style of what you want
We all envision inscribing our path with a new font
I got a debt that connects to my character
With empty two-faces that's it, and they stare at ya
They fight my demons and chase the girls they stay moving
While I'm just kickin it with solidarity and groovin
In doing what I feel I got to do
To erase hella cobwebs and face the bloody truth
Behind alcoholic bloodlines and what I'm chasing
Stealing each breath so I can reach my destination
Ain't going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust
If you ain't got that then you ain't got much
Ain't going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust
If you ain't got that then you ain't got much
Well it all began in preschool or maybe it was kindergarten
When the teacher became the devil and gave me a sinners pardon
My heart hardened and then I buried her up in the children's garden
But the next day I departed cause high school had started
With music class I will jet fast and pass on that
I already can play guitar I wanna learn how to rap
But there you know interest and cutting me any slack
So I found my own entrance and started cutting class now
With only two a day, who could say, I wasn't the coolest K
Only fourteen and thoughts of moving yay
But that's not the path that I wanted to go down
So for now I just stuck to old weed and smoke outs
But I knew my teen thoughts just wouldn't last
And it all changed when I had a thousand in cash
And I shoulda done what I would've done in the past
But instead I wanted to make even more money fast now
You will never catch me without a frozen nose
Until one day my good friend overdosed
As he lay with an open nose still doing the rope-a-dope
All because of a gram line of some bogus coke
Then the next day somebody ratted on me
So the police grabbed me instead of approaching me calmly
But I had nothing on me so they had to let me go
And to this day I will never walk down that same road
Ain't going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust
If you ain't got that then you ain't got much
Ain't going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust
If you ain't got that then you ain't got much
Ain't going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust
If you ain't got that then you ain't got much
Ain't going back why you fake it all
Riding round the globe tryna find they soul
Keep it intact for the world we trust
If you ain't got that then you ain't got much
And some days pass
And some days rain
And some days I wait until the sun break to see if the sun stays
And some days pass
And some days rain
And some days I wait until the sun break to see if the sun stays
And some days pass
And some days rain
And some days I wait until the sun break to see if the sun stays
And some days pass
And some days rain
And some days I wait until the sun break to see if the sun stays
