Little Pinocchio

You ever in a bad mood and you agitated

Every little thing is making you mad like you have to hate it

Girl is asking are you okay

You say yeah

Cuz you don't have the patience

To explain the things in your brain

Don't make her feel bad

They already do that

Communication's key

But my keys I always lose track

So what's the point of talking if I'm locked

The code don't crack

My intention's not to leave her hanging like a coat rack

I'm not here to hurt feelings

I hope that you know that

Lately I'm just feeling like my hope is below half

I could use a pick me up

She could use some confidence

Sip it through a sippy-cup

Mix it with the obvious

Ain't been getting paid

But still counting on my common sense

Waiting for the day that I have commas like the opposite

Of a run on sentence

It's still me that I'm betting on

The price to be a legend is expensive when you spend it wrong

Tell me what's the end game

Will I have more or less pain

Will the fame equal stress

If there's a mess to your name

Will your fam still love you

If you clouded in the rain

And your tears start to blend as they washing all away

Will your peers just pretend they have your back till it aches

And your spark doesn't catch

As your passion it just fades

Nothing left to light your fire

They don't gas you up the same

They just laughing at the fact

You thought that they would never change

But that's the beauty of it

Won't know till it happens

Some say it's the ugly truth

Depending how you rap it

I can't afford distractions

Yet I'm always distracted

By this or that

If I had some focus I know I could have my dreams in tact

Boohoo sad story

Make a choice

Ask yourself

You gon be a man

Or stay a boy

Little Pinocchio

You are just a puppet in a world full of broken souls

But tell me all the things that you see right now

In the world is it all yours?

Do you always follow your heart

Or is it their whispers you fall for?

Does your ambition still match your desires

Or have you been off course?

Little Pinocchio tell me bout all of the things that you lie for

Strings pulling in directions that you have't been

Character is always being tested when you standing in

Right or wrong scenarios

Courage help you lead the way

What makes you real is all of the promises that you keep or break

One bad move

And your reputation

They'll deem it fake

So be careful where you step

How you speak the things you say

Don't lie to yourself

You can't grow from it

Take time, own something

Get out of your comfort zone

You shouldn't be broke and so comfortable

Is what I be telling myself

Nobody gonna help me all the time

Putting in work and making it worth

Till I deserve what is mine

That's the recipe

But it ain't always tasting the sweetest

I only do it cuz I need to

There ain't nothing between it

The process is something you learn to love

But love should be seamless

So why do I feel like I'm forcing the results of a genius

Comparing myself to the wealth I've been fiending

I mean it isn't that bad

It's just a battle I be in

I'm finding a reason

To keep on trying

I really need it

And it's a reoccurring theme

Inside the book I been reading

But really I been writing it and don't know when to delete this page

Been throwing these fits of rage

These motions alleviate

My soul

There's a pen and pad where I wrote

My life away

When I'm low

Know there's brighter days down the road

But it's dark when you have no home

So I stick to playing my part

Though my parts lay on the floor

But tell me all the things that you see right now

In the world is it all yours?

Do you always follow your heart

Or is it their whispers you fall for?

Does your ambition still match your desires

Or have you been off course?

Little Pinocchio tell me bout all of the things that you lie for
