lyrics
(Verse 1)
Took a minute for me to see the world so insidious /
Watching Aang and Katara, but so outta my element /
though I'm flowing like water, Ozu 8lack with the pad and pen /
but still pinched by the drama, trying hard just to comprehend /
or compartmentalize it, there's way too much that happening /
and I'm tryna survive it, so much life that I got to live /
but I’m still stuck inside cuz folks don't value their life /
or care about others so fine then /
an actual mask over my [happy mask], see? /
Outside of music I [mail/Mel] it in, and that's the [tea] /
The Sprite I made from Lemon Trees don't even appease /
Ain’t seen my family in weeks, it’s weighing mentally /
On top of that I'm still aggravated by stupid people /
thinking selfishly when it comes to distancing /
see socially I be so reluctant to say my peace, but I need me some peace /
So I'm writing this journal, hoping God helps me release
(Partial Hook)
I'm just tired of pain, wish that it would subside, but /
That’s the thing about pain, let's me know I'm alive /
I'm just tired of rain, wish that it would subside but /
That's the thing about rain, I need that to revive /
(Verse 2)
My mental is not even here, I’ll be honest I'm off it /
Sleep schedules ruined by nightmares that threaten me often /
Family interactions needed, but all feels so awkward /
But now that this EP is out, I doubt that they'll be callin /
The bills, they keep on piling, feel like I'm falling behind and /
Skills getting much more refined when placing my heart in these lines but /
Where am I finding the time to place all the burdens aside and /
Give all my worries to God when living in this…. Ok…. /
...living in this social climate feels like I'm slowly dying /
Maybe it’s survivors guilt from things in my former life and/
...Maybe the mental fatigues hittin’ me differently /
since every murder since Ahmaud and George's seemed to get to me /
so I could give a damn about sensitive people dissin’ me /
cuz they aint got the balls to mention a K1NG specifically /
Way too much going on in the world to Twitter beef /
Not in the mood for stupidity, best you just let it breathe
I’m warning you...
(Full Hook)
I'm just tired of pain, wish that it would subside, but /
That’s the thing about pain, let's me know I'm alive /
I'm just tired of rain, wish that it would subside but /
That's the thing about rain, I need that to revive /
I just deal with the pain, but if it don't subside /
I just can't let it kill me, ignore the regicide /
Used to hate all the rain, used to wish it subside but /
That's the thing about rain, it lets me know I'm alive...
