If Only I Could

If I could write a note I'd get out of the place
Out of my mind I'd start to retrace
If I could write a note I would embrace
All the evil that comes to stand and laugh in my face
If I could write a note I'd get out of this place
Yeah, I'd get out of this place

Now go ahead and watch it complicate
Every single step that I take
Like Iraq, watch out for the plate
Never know when the ground is fake
You saw me move and how I elevate
But I can't write a note for saving grace
Where's the food I think it's time to eat
But I don't got a dream left to chase

Uh

Tell me how to live this life I'm running low on that supply
Someone please tell me why
You turn your back onto a knife
Let me cut you up and take your pride
Confiscate and maximize
This industry is such a lie

I've been back up on my time
Every second searching for the grind
I'm a masterpiece left behind
If talent was how they judge you they'd never forget mine
But this industry is hella fake
People judging when you make mistakes
I don't know if this is mine to take
When they just want the higher rates
Checking on my state I know I'm about to break
If I find the next delay that won't increase my stakes
If I could write I note I know they'd find my name
But the dollar menu is what I'll be looking at today

If I could write a note I'd get out of the place
Out of my mind I'd start to retrace
If I could write a note I would embrace
All the evil that comes to stand and laugh in my face
If I could write a note I'd get out of this place
Yeah, I'd get out of this place

To me, this is no surprise
I knew I'd always try to survive
But when they cut you off by cauterize
I feel I'm looking in my fathers eyes
Don't dream big, man I get that now
He was just tryna save me from a big let down
This world is so cold how you drown us out
Then show us a few with big gold crowns
Say they the kings so live it proud
But the only thing that's holy is my jeans right now
My god,
I'm praying for new statements
Cop pulled me over say how long you've be racing
Just a couple days in
And I'm already entertaining

If I could write a note, there'd be no mistaken
Only thing I know writing from the basement
No studio time, no Louie Vatton, no engineers telling me to get it in line, hanging off of the edge
But my sitting back in my mind

If I could write a note I'd get out of the place
Out of my mind I'd start to retrace
If I could write a note I would embrace
All the evil that comes to stand and laugh in my face
If I could write a note I'd get out of this place
Yeah, I'd get out of this place
