Lyrics

I may have to force myself to punch in
Who knows?
Yea, yea
Yea, yea
Yea, momma said life is like a box of condoms
Might get fucked in the end, but you got your options
How much time imma spend tryna pound my pockets
Imma say it depends where they lay my carcass
Bury me with the golds, so that when I go my radiance show
you should know, that I did it big, just look how it glow
I suppose I could tuck it in but how would you know?
Even though its gon’ represent what we dying for
Fuck it though
I can’t let it go, I need me like every note
I think me and money go together like we married folk
I see me and money got our problems like we married folk
I can’t seem to find out why my eyes feel like they never closed
I ain’t seen my family in some time feel I’m never close
Will they forgive me for my absence? Know I’ll never know
I was tryna make it make a wave, like the levee broke
Mama asked me when I’m gon make it home,
I don’t know
And she said,
Well, Hope you make before the light come (Hope you make it before the light come)
Hope you make it before the light (Hope you make it before the lights)
I don’t know
And she said,
Hope you make before the light come (Hope you make it before the light come)
Hope you make it before the light (Hope you make it before the lights)
Everybody dreams
I wonder what it means to me (wonder what it means)
God knows we need to see life is for the making
All in how you take it
Don’t know what you can’t see
Don’t give up on your-
I been dreaming a lot
So much I can’t tell the difference between living and dying
Know this opportunity come to those willing to fry
Balancing decisions on whether I’m with it or not
Knowing I feel I’m hindering God
From what he started
Knowing the energy finicky, full of frozen hearteds
No one is like you, ‘til they don’t like you
Then oh you part of the mass of **** who on they ass
Over promises made, I know they haunting
How many suffer from a dream shattered?
I know it’s tough because them dreams matter
Tryna tread water with a lean paddle
I was afraid and too jaded to go on
Check my phone, it’s a message, “you better make it back home”
I hope we make it ‘fore the lights come
I hope we make it ‘fore the lights come
I just got to grow, the salt in my soles really
I got a lot of goals, you would think I score plenty
Man, we was super close, now it’s super cold, innit?
I just got to make it home
Back to wall, back to the basement
Back to whatever made me
I’m black as ever, back to my roots
Everything black adjacent
Though I may get disconnected at times, I know I’ll make it back home
