Lyrics
[Verse 1]
These days, I've been feeling like the world's gone mad
We all hurt, lied to, or we're pressed for cash
It's got everybody moving like a sociopath
So just watch for my front kid, I got your back
I done drank, I done smoke, I done chilled with my ****
Tried a lot to help me cope, but the world keeps spinning
So I do what I can not to lost in it
I'm still looking for some hope, it's just taking a minute
[Verse 2]
Walking on the street, I know I'm statistic
They made our a life a joke, we feeling nihilistic
Controversy feeding us through our iris
Subtle hate for me spread like a virus, like?
Who the hell's to say that I can't have that?
They hate on black men, I'm dark, like Batman
Who the hell the one to shame? We want our stack, man
That silence whack, man, we just live for the finer things
[Verse 3]
Complicated, the only way to explain it
Got everyday issues, but life's still amazing
Like when my fit's raw, but outside it's raining
Can't even be mad, the perfect weather for chilling
'Cause the world keep piling it on
I got a whole list of problems just to turn into songs
And I hope the label likes them and they sing along
'Cause my parents made it clear, ain't got no college fund
[Chorus]
All my young **** stay close, smoke dope
Just to keep the pain away
All my young **** keep hope, on go
Till we reach Saturn Dayz
All my young **** stay close, smoke dope
Just to keep the pain away
All my young **** keep hope, on go
Till we reach Saturn Dayz
[Verse 4]
Will they still like these raps if my ass ain't fat?
It's whole lot of pressure on a black woman's back
And I don't know if I meet the standards they wanna look at
'Cause my proportions don't match all their marketing 'tacs
And I'm so tired of trying to be right
I've been battlin' my mental my whole damn life
Maybe I should get a therapist, it helped Kendrick right?
But do I really wanna pay for white woman's advice?
Hell nah
I don't know, I just question it all
Like, what if we started over, and I had it all?
Would I still be me, or would the old me be gone?
Now I'm just overthinking, let's just finish the song
[Chorus]
All my young **** stay close, smoke dope
Just to keep the pain away
All my young **** keep hope, on go
Till we reach Saturn Dayz
All my young **** stay close, smoke dope
Just to keep the pain away
All my young **** keep hope, on go
Till we reach Saturn Dayz
[Verse 5]
I done seen a lotta things, I been busy on the road
Been around some rich men, been around some poor
Learned a lotta things that I never things knew before
But it's still a lotta stuff that I really want to know
Why we teach kids not to have hope in our lessons?
Why we act like the white man is a blessing?
Why do dead beat dads live life without depression?
If you didn't want the baby, why'd you smash without protection?
When we pray to God, yeah, at night can he hear it?
Am I doing music right when I'm speaking from the spirit?
Feel like most these rap **** do it for the image
I had deep love for it since I heard, "Can I kick it?"
Thank you for the answers, I been taking down notes
I thank Saturn for the ones who support me the most
'Cause they help me keep it going, plus I'm scared to go broke
'Cause music don't pay, but we still keep hope
[Outro]
Saturn, Saturn Dayz
Saturn, Saturn Dayz
Saturn, Saturn Dayz
Saturn, Saturn Dayz
She's jealous of me
It sounds bad to say, but I was the light-skinned pretty one
And I'm tired of feeling bad for it
Girl, you're purple, she's green, I'm blue
We're aliens
Well, yeah, but
You remember, on Earth
Let it go
