Penn's Bayou

They tell me I'm destined for greatness
Everybody see it in me mane even my haters
I don't see it in myself so I could never say it
Tell my fans appreciate mane all of them praises
All them dm messages, they be keeping me going
Everybody blowin up mane why I ain't exploding
My bro tell me dawg it's coming if you stay focused
And I know that but my insecurities growing

Blessed self love straight up
You don't have to look any further
Pray up stay up
Know you feel like you already heard us
How I'm supposed to try
How I'm supposed to carry on if I ain't feelin fly
How I'm supposed to live if the world finna die
How I'm supposed to have faith in me and say it's not a lie

How do I get centered with myself without being self centered
Had balance in my heart now I can feel the scale tipping
I engage in self pity I can see the veil lifting
I ain't know the word success had so many fails in it
Feeling stuck
It's mud in the bayou
Swim in your fears or you drown in denial
I see my reflection, myself is a rival
And he got a rifle
Yo how do you fight when the opp is inside you
I'ma go get it I grind
I get it all when I get out my mind
Build a bond with myself just to get out this bind
Hit the clock with my thoughts just to give myself time
My peers say I'm next now
I can flex now
Ain't no more lookin stressed out
With my head down
C an't lie I like the way that it sound
But I can't shake this self doubt
This self doubt sayin

Who am I to fly
Am I wasting my time
I can't make up my mind
No no no
Has my well run dry
I'm drug in by my tide
It's been fun I tried
Lord Lord Lord

Blessed self love straight up
You don't have to look any further
Pray up stay up
Know you feel like you already heard us
How I'm supposed to try
How I'm supposed to carry on if I ain't feelin fly
How I'm supposed to live if the world finna die
How I'm supposed to have faith in me and say it's not a lie

It's funny how when I'm in the studio Penn be talking for Malcolm
Hop on an album and out him
Behind himself he been doubting
He feel it's nearly a thousand other rappers up in the city
Who do what he do but better, he feelin iffy
YK turn this album off it's me Malcolm
Forget what Penn be talking bout I'm better off without him
That mane be tripping he be lying he be out here wildin
Aye can't you see it in my eyes
YK you see me smiling
Aye let it spin it's me Penn
Hopping off the deep end
We will live it depend
If we drown
If we swim
Is you out or is you in
I'm down for whatever
I'm here to help you grow may your rain last forever
See all of that pain you be dealing with alone
Malcolm we together we should put it in a song
Anytime you feel you drowning mane don't let it guide you
Let me make an album bout it called Penn's Bayou
By you

Who am I to fly
Am I wasting my time
I can't make up my mind
No no no
Has my well run dry
I'm drug in by my tide
It's been fun I tried
Lord Lord Lord
