Dreamy Suburbia

Huh, you was raised around a dreamy suburbia

Mailmen tips and a smile to be courteous

Unlocked doors and the whip passed down

Where the olds folks stare and the kids lash out

I know the faces 'round you pass by

And your brain erases 'em with last night

Like when your savior comes, you'll be fine

I get it, yeah

You was raised to see a man like me

As arts and crafts that you can stand by, pleased

Like look what I made, look what I changed

Look what I been through and look at who stayed

The pool cold

Dirty as the sky, baby, who knows?

Outta sight, outta mind, outta use

Go MIA and just hide

Isolated, tucked for a tough sec

I debate it, tryna change subjects

Finally say it, now they all upset

I shoulda known, huh

Isolated, tucked for a tough sec

I debate it, tryna change subjects

Finally say it, now they all upset

I shoulda known

I was raised by the broken and poor folk

Bumps on a Greyhound, speakin' in Morse code

Blood clot, clocked in, keepin' the bills paid

Where you say "I'm alright," but not in a real way

It's not your fault, I know

It's not your call, I know

But it seems that a line gets drawn in the sand

When you're born with the world in the palm of your hands

I count the stars alignin' for you

Curse gods while they just spoil you

Two different types of loyal

You know what I'd do for stability?

I want a mil' a week, like don't let the village see

I'd be one of them too

None of it really means a damn thing 'cause I'm just like you

Unaware what a man might do

I'm isolated, tucked for a tough sec

I debate it, tryna change subjects

Finally say it, now they all upset

I shoulda known, huh

Isolated, tucked for a tough sec

I debate it, tryna change subjects

Finally say it, now they all upset

I shoulda known

Isolated, I won't make it

My bed's made (I shoulda known)

Isolated, I won't make it

My bed's made (I shoulda known)
