Lyrics
You wanna see a card trick? No really
You want to witness a card trick? Seriously.
It's a story move over
It's a narrative, make way for it.
Move over okay imma tell you a little story
Move aside; I'm going to share a brief story.
Yeah, yeah yeah, uh
Expressing agreement or acknowledgment.
Shit shattered 'cause you left it on the edge
Things fell apart because you abandoned them on the edge.
Karma's repercussions of the shit I never did
Consequences of karma for actions I never took.
High tide but the water
Despite challenges, the ship remains intact in high tides.
Never wrecked the ship
A friend predicted adversity, and I allowed it into my life.
Homie said it's coming to me, so I let it in
Smoking away troubles with every breath.
Live smoke compartments on my soul with
My soul contains hidden compartments of live smoke.
Every breath I give
Feelings conveyed inaccurately.
Miscommunicated sentimеnt
Questioning if strength is becoming a routine.
Question if force a habit
I gave you mine as expected, but you rejected it.
Gave you minе like you 'posed to have it
Fading away, yet I pretend to be happy effortlessly.
You threw it back at me
Catching me smiling despite being attacked.
I be faded, it ain't even hard to act happy
Accepting the harsh reality without being surprised.
Catch me smiling when I know
Navigating challenges and glitches in life.
They throwing stabs at me
Enduring pain to overcome obstacles.
That's just how it is no surprises
Surviving with minimal resources.
Had to work my way around the glitch
Deriving strength from each other in difficult times.
Cut me open
Derived strength from unity with a sibling.
Hit my brother for the cuts to stitch
Symbolic reference to a metaphorical light.
We had nothing but eachother
Occasionally stumbling due to hesitation.
Got it from the strength
Opened up and shared everything, only to be left.
You a light and I'm reflecting it
Finding humor in the irony of being discovered.
Sometimes I stumble 'cause I'm hesitant
Isolation due to a lack of genuine connections.
Let you in, tell you everything about me
No one to call because authenticity is absent.
Shit is jokes 'cause you leave
Cracking open emotional barriers.
Me how you found me i think it's funny still
Relaxing at home, detached and floating.
I can't even call nobody
Experiencing life through a new perspective.
'cause it's nothing real
Gaining insight into life's hardships.
Crack the seal in my slippers
Grateful for the return of better times.
Like I got a chill floating 'round the crib
Reflecting on the value of experiences.
New lens, seen the movie, I know how it ends
Questioning the worth of euphemisms in expressing pain.
Know the drought just had me
Painful experiences that are hard to convey.
Grateful to see clouds again
Seeking solace in substances, blaming it on external factors.
Had me grateful to see clouds again
Compelled to lay down and endure the pain.
What's it worth? Euphemisms can't convey
Experiencing pain differently, learning from it.
The way it hurt
Recognizing pain and emerging stronger.
Speak to mama, she gon' blame it on the herb
Repeating the process of emerging stronger from pain.
It get darker when you waiting for a word
Observing pain and the subsequent growth.
Involuntarily I lay to let it burn
Concluding the cycle of pain and growth.
I let it burn different pain
Witnessing pain from a different perspective.
I seen the frame and then emerge
Understanding the frame of reference and emerging stronger.
And then emerge
Repeated acknowledgment of pain and subsequent growth.
Different, I seen the pain and then emerge
Recognition of pain leading to personal development.
Yeah
Acknowledging
