Johnnie Talkin'

Hey, uh

Look, look

Everybody wanna be a millionaire but attached to all their fears

Gotta face that shit like lighting potent in the air

I use to hate that chick for telling secrets I ain't share to my dear

But I know it's something deeper so I tear

Got some self-work ahead of me, no sipping while I steer

Gotta keep a clear mind, I know them demons waiting near

Gotta read them road signs, yeah, them omens keep me prepared

Now I'm zoning, barely got my diploma but yet I'm here

Making six figures a year, it's a blessing, I'm aware

But that don't take away the fact that I'm human like I appear, uh

Be quick to judge but check reflection of your own, yeah

Might lose connection, I've been holding on too long, uh

So many left me, I'm used to being alone

Couple friends that I remember never gon' pick up they phone

So save you lecture, you don't know the path I'm on

Ain't no acting in my bones, put my life up in these songs, yeah

I get so high, my ****, then float away, uh

When I come down, my ****, still feel the pain, uh

Can't hide the frown, my ****, this smile is fake, uh

Won't throw the towel, my purpose will never stray, uh

I get so high, my ****, then float away, uh

When I come down, my ****, still feel the pain, uh

Can't hide the frown, my ****, this smile is fake, uh

Won't throw the towel, my purpose will never stray, uh

When you're up against a trouble

Meet it squarely, face to face

Lift your chin and set your shoulders

Plant your feet, take a brace

When it's vain to try and dodge it

Do the best that you can do

You may fail, but you may conquer

See it through

I'm much older, yeah, I grew, getting close in my pursuit

Think I finally found myself providing scriptures for the youth

And my peers and the elders remind them what they can do

We find comfort in our shelters, too doubtful to start anew

Took a risk because I felt it, sometimes gotta be selfish

They don't show no sympathy 'cause they don't know what you done dealt with

Some souls softer than velvet, that's why I'm always delicate and humble

Keep your head high, some thrive to see you fumble

Use your voice, take off the muzzle, rejoice, you solved that puzzle

Till the day I have a son I'll treat the world just like I love you

No Kodak picture but you know the vision tunnel

Know that Gs be moving subtle, I don't need you in my huddle, uh

And nowadays, ain't nothing promised, gotta hustle

I ain't thinking 'bout tomorrow 'cause today I got enough due

The times are changing, but the pain is bound to tough you

Elevate, I got a W but still ain't shit without you

I get so high, my ****, then float away, uh

When I come down, my ****, still feel the pain, uh

Can't hide the frown, my ****, this smile is fake, uh

Won't throw the towel, my purpose will never stray, uh

I get so high, my ****, then float away, uh

When I come down, my ****, still feel the pain, uh

Can't hide the frown, my ****, this smile is fake, uh

Won't throw the towel, my purpose will never stray, uh
