AVERY'S INTERLUDE
Navigating Life's Struggles: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Resilience
Lyrics
They don't even know the half
People are unaware of the full extent of your struggles or challenges.
Just so they could eat you was scrapin' up your last
Others were willing to harm you just to fulfill their needs, even when you were financially struggling.
And you was feeling down but that smile was the mask
Despite feeling down, you wore a smile as a disguise.
And you put all your energy in tryna get this cash, yeah
You invested all your effort into making money.
Naked in the middle of the street while they stoned you
Exposed and vulnerable in public, facing criticism or judgment.
All that fuckin' pain, just want someone to hold you
Yearning for comfort and someone to support you through the pain.
Strangers tryna tell you who you are as if they know you
Strangers try to define your identity, claiming to know who you are.
I'm open with my scars, if you listen I can show you
Open about your emotional scars, willing to share your experiences.
Cold, cold world for the black man
Expressing the harsh reality of life for a black man.
Tryna be a dad through resistance
Struggling to be a good father despite facing resistance.
All you hear is this nigga ain't never takin' care of his kids
Falsely accused of neglecting parental responsibilities.
Why don't you listen to the story of somebody that is
Encouraging others to listen to the genuine story of someone who is responsible.
And don't nobody really give a fuck what you need, you a man
Frustration about society's indifference to men's emotional needs.
Don't nobody think that you bleed, it's off brand
Feeling overlooked and misunderstood as a man who also experiences pain.
I envy women 'cause I feel like y'all can cry so quick
Admiration for women's ability to express emotions more readily.
And I just wanna do the same but my eyes don't drip
Desire to cry openly like women, but struggling to do so.
I wanna cry like rivers in and out like
Expressing the longing for emotional release and transparency.
Tellin' you what I like, tellin' you what I'm like
Sharing personal preferences and aspects of his character.
What my inner child like, what my inner sky like
Reflecting on the inner child and the inner self.
When I wasn't vocal, what was happenin' in my life
Discussing past experiences before becoming vocal about personal issues.
But my pain ain't real, I'm only good enough to pay her bills
Perceiving that his pain is disregarded, valued only for financial support.
I'm on this track to display my feels
Using music to express and share his true feelings.
She told me straight to my face I am only a bank
Being viewed solely as a source of financial assistance.
I seen all they true colors, heaven show me the way
Seeing the true nature of people and seeking guidance.
And so today
Embracing the present moment.
I'm finna do everythin' that I love and spend a day with my son
Devoting time to activities he loves, particularly spending time with his son.
And fly us out to the west, I got a crib on a beach
Planning a pleasant day on the west coast.
Don't hit me about a check, don't hit me about a fee
Emphasizing the importance of personal connections over financial concerns.
We kickin' it at the spa, got Summer House on repeat
Enjoying a carefree day with music in the background.
I'm smilin' at baby boy, he smilin' right back at me
Sharing a joyful moment with his son.
I really don't give a fuck if it is takin' my piece
Choosing personal peace over external opinions.
Not sittin' here to be judged, don't point your finger at me
Rejecting judgment and avoiding being pointed at.
But point it at yourself, bitch
Encouraging self-reflection in others.
This season I've been feelin' hella fuckin' selfish, hella fuckin' savage
Acknowledging a period of self-focus and possibly selfish behavior.
Heli-fuckin'-copter take us out to Catalina
Imagining a luxurious escape to Catalina by helicopter.
I be dancin' round the world like a fuckin' ballerina
Expressing freedom and joy through dancing around the world.
You was tweeting "Fuck Kota", I was out in Pasadena
Referencing past conflicts or criticism while enjoying life in Pasadena.
Doing yoga in a park 'til I had to feed the meter
Balancing relaxation with responsibilities like feeding the meter during yoga.
I'm confessin' like a sinner, don't mistake me for a preacher
Confessing personal truths without claiming a moral high ground.
Get my own damn flowers, make a promise I'ma be my peace
Promising self-sufficiency and committing to finding inner peace.
