Lyrics
Shorty left me cause she thought I was finished she said I'm demented
Shorty left the speaker, thinking he was done or mentally disturbed.
I had to leave cause my soul ain't replenished
The speaker had to leave because his soul was depleted or lacking.
I feel the scars from the words everytime that you said it
The speaker feels emotional wounds from past words spoken against him.
These are pipe dreams don't rap nigga just dead it
The speaker dismisses unrealistic dreams and urges others to do the same.
Is what I rely on to escape
Music is the speaker's escape from family and friends who lost faith in him.
From my family and friends who swore they had faith
Despite claims of support, the speaker's family and friends didn't attend shows or buy his music.
Screamin they support but niggas they never came
Perceived support from friends was empty; they never showed up for him.
To a show or bought a song whenever I dropped a tape
Strangers provided the support and protection the speaker needed.
It was perfect strangers who protect me from danger
The irony of trying to be iconic while dealing with psychotic thoughts.
It's so ironic trying to be iconic
Confession to Lily about dark thoughts in the speaker's mind.
So psychotic with these thoughts in my head
The speaker wrote the lyrics, expressing a desire to change the world despite personal struggles.
I remember telling Lily all these thoughts in my head
Avoidance of friends involved in drug use; the speaker stays true to himself.
Nigga I wrote this
Despite aiming to sell records, the speaker focuses on conscious and socially aware content.
I try to change the world but I be on some broke shit
Questioning who would provoke the speaker to face dangers in the hood.
I stayed away from friends cause they be on that coke shit
Reference to violent individuals in the neighborhood.
I try to sell a record but I be on some woke shit (damn)
Metaphorically, bloodshed resulting from dangerous situations close to home.
I only got one question tell me who would provoke this
Despite obstacles, the speaker communicates effectively.
Goons in the hood who split wigs like Moses
Fans express impatience through DMs, wanting new music from the speaker.
Red sea spillage from the dome
The speaker's relationship ended, leading to stress and parenthood in one night.
Few miles away from home
The speaker seeks introspection, asking for divine guidance.
With bridges burned I still get my point across
The speaker acknowledges past mistakes but vows not to repeat them.
Fans in my DM telling me that I'm taking long
The speaker distances himself from damaging company for the sake of his health.
Lost my woman gave her stress and she gave me drama
Nights of introspection lead to painful thoughts and self-inflicted pain.
In one night went from an ex to my baby mama
Searching for someone to blame for personal struggles.
Dear Lord it's what I needed
A metaphorical marriage to destructive habits, symbolizing inner conflict.
To look inside myself bad habits never repeated
Invocation for divine intervention and guidance.
Cause if I'm gonna start I'd rather do it myself
The speaker seeks redemption and self-improvement, breaking destructive cycles.
And every company that I keep damaged my health
Acknowledgment of the negative impact of past associations on the speaker's well-being.
Silent nights thoughts whisper
Quiet moments of contemplation, wrestling with internal conflicts.
I try to write it down but then pen gave me blisters
Expressing thoughts through writing brings physical pain and discomfort.
I'm trying to find the person that I can point the finger
Searching for someone to blame for the speaker's struggles.
A song and a dance the devil's my wedding singer
Metaphorical reference to dealing with inner demons, symbolized by a wedding singer.
Jesus please make your debut
Plea for divine intervention and a positive change in the speaker's life.
I'm not at the pulpit but street niggas pray too
The speaker empathizes with street individuals, acknowledging their prayers.
I just wanna see the little youngins with mistakes through
Desire to see young individuals overcome their mistakes and challenges.
Protect my unborn from the world may you breakthrough
A prayer for protection and success for the speaker's unborn child.
Bruh Here's the vision
Expression of the speaker's vision for a positive future.
I survived when faith reality had collision
Survival despite the collision of faith and reality.
Minor set back rebirth I win
Overcoming setbacks, experiencing a rebirth, and achieving success.
Pack it up pack it in let me begin
A declaration to start anew, facing challenges head-on.
