Buried

Okay

Yeah

Look

I was told if you don't make time for the things you love

You get swallowed by all the things you hate

I was taught if you don't reconcile with the things you done

You get haunted by all your past mistakes

I believe if you don't love yourself

Then nobody will

That's the harsh reality we have to face

I was taught you can't rush love

It just comes and goes at a natural pace

With that being said

I want something that is real

I'm over the Tinder swiping and the Hinge liking

I want something I can feel in my heart

I can feel in my hands like it's tendinitis

I need to learn to repair my vices

I need to learn how to let it go

I need to stop spending all my time

With people that only prevent my growth

You think you know me, you really don't

You've never taken a loss

You don't know what it's like talking your blood off the ledge

You never untied the knots in a noose

Your family hung on a fan

You've never given your heart to somebody

Then watched them just crush it in front of you

Cupped in their hands

You never suffered

You've never suffered like me

But I promise today that you will understand

Promise today that you will understand

I told myself that the person I was in the past

Will never dictate who I am in the future

To all the people who treat me like trash

You get recycled through all of my music

You become topics, the constant I'm using

You become farmers without even knowing

'Cause you plant the seed that I harvest whenever it's blooming

Wait

I'm barely human, hm

I think it's true and it's fair to assume it

I belong next to the lyricist

Next to the joiners, the Hopsins

And hell if I help 'em just carry balloons

And hey

I put the pen to the pad

The moment I did, I made a whole name for me

I run on pain in my pace so they paying me

Mama don't pray for me

I got the heart of a lion

Whoever you demons that called, I'm a liar

The goal is just pray to me, a'ight

I do not compete with anybody

The only person I compete with is me and myself

They just wanna knock me off and try to strip my talent

But I'll never let 'em reach around and take my belt

I was never focused on becoming a celebrity

I'm focusing and setting on my feelings so they never work again

But creating my wealth

Rappers only talk about topics that make their persona harder

But every lyric that I'm dropping on top of this paper

Is everything I've lived, everything I felt

I don't need you to see me, you to change me, let me go

I don't need you to change me

I be changing on my own

Only God here can judge me

Is that truthful, I don't know

All of my scars they tell me where I've been

But they don't dictate where I go

All of my faith's been tested with this music

I just pray I stay afloat, yeah

(Time to float)

I don't know it's time to float

Like Pennywise said I wish I could change the path

That I am on I swear to God, I'm on autopilot

I know that the highs and lows that I have rode are so defyin'

I put my entire soul inside the flows that I've been writing

I condone that I'm a tyrant

I just wonder when my time is

What's the chances I'll go golden

Wait, what's the chances I go diamond, ay

They want that ignorant flow (ay)

They want that ignorant style (ay)

They want somebody to stay in the lane

That'll never push boundaries

Now they're all mad at me

'Cause I keep pushing around

Swing for the fences

I'm breaking down barriers, breaking down walls

And I'm taking the crown

Made my own way, and I know that you hate it

I should've just taken a job in construction

The way that I'm paving the ground

Keep my name outta your mouth

I know you're anxious, I'm making a legacy

Making a name with my sound

We are not equal

No, we ain't the same 'cause you'll never slow up on my grind

And you'll never catch me breaking down

They want me buried by all my regret

But they never will bury me now
