Touching the Surface

Touching the surface
Mmmmmm

Touching the surface
Feeling emotions
Go with the motions
If you let me
Touching the surface
Feeling emotions
Go with the motions
If you let me

My first name Reginald, so my middle don't say that shit
Address me as Reggie or my last name Mr. Richardson
Double R is Reggie Riches, you see how it's fitting in
Now Stuyvesant is where I was born and still where I live
My life has been a scramble of pieces tryna finish the puzzle
All these nights that I've been writing after work, I'm pulling a double
I'm conscious bout my actions please don't tell me bout my hustle
If you got something to say, yes I will have a rebuttal
As long as if it's constructive I will take all of your critics
Take the good with the bad and all of the thoughts that's indifferent
I just had a lot of choices and made a lot of decisions
And I'm giving you a glimpse of this life that I've been living
I remember my first recording I was scared for y'all to hear it
I was sitting at my desk in my barracks writing down these lyrics
I was cheffing like the pots on the stove when it's Thanksgiving
I wasn't finished since the start this end of the beginning
And even though that I'm solid I can be more than transparent
I was shining through the sirens before these lights were florescent
I'm just tryna leave a legacy for my kids to inherit
And they plotting on your downfall while you building your transcendence

Touching the surface
Feeling emotions
Go with the motions
If you let me
Yeah
Touching the surface
Feeling emotions
Go with the motions
If you let me

Got me speaking from the heart that's why it's soulful
See I grew up in a household where it's hopeful
And I was spoiled, hard-headed, I did what I chose to
And I was vocal and social, high vocab at my disposal
I wanna take it coastal and global but I'm a local
See it's not about the cash, it's what you do with the money
And I've been thinking of a plan, you not taking this from me
And I be solid under pressure, in a challenge I'm comfy
We just gotta take the ups with the downs
And don't be posted in the hood I be around
And distractions from my goals are not allowed
Got me focused got in tune with my sound
Take my thoughts and then I voice it through the music
And I came to inspire, to motivate, and influence
And I'm tired of the pretenders stop acting its illusions
All the melodies and writing is extremely therapeutic, Imma lose it

Touching the surface
Feeling emotions
Go with the motions
If you let me
Yeah
Touching the surface
Feeling emotions
Go with the motions
If you let me
