At 1st

I felt outta place at first
Playing catch up I don't wanna tame that hurt
I had no one to blame at first
Till I put myself in them chains on alert
I had to check had to observe
Way too many shocks to my nerves
Its a gift and a curse yeah
The way it turned out coulda been worse

13 had a five finger discount
Slip a dollar in the hoodie off a miscount
I tried to pack it off the inbounds yeah
Its back to back so I had to announce
You can't admit it pointing up and down
Besides yourself you gotta take what you own yeah
Couldn't tell you where id be now
If I was serious when I told you I ain't coming home naw
Sometimes I feel like young me's head had shoulders it could hold
But then again I'd prolly be dead if I kept on the road I was paved I was sold

I felt outta place at first
Playing catch up I don't wanna tame that hurt
I had no one to blame at first
Till I put myself in them chains on alert
I had to check had to observe
Way too many shocks to my nerves
Its a gift and a curse yeah
The way it turned out coulda been worse

First I had to fall to get back up
Horse riding get tough closed captions
Words don't mean a thing I need actions
Too many times it got close like contractions
I heard the slammer once and that was it for I
But I advise if you wise enough to make it up and touch the sky
Just know I'm not looking for credit but it's def obliged
Minnesota nice embedded but can step aside
Haven't seen it all but still been petrified
I Been spacing out tryna connect the dots
First I was jammed up now I'm in a better spot
Started burning I Harden and stir the pot

I felt outta place at first
Playing catch up I don't wanna tame that hurt
I had no one to blame at first
Till I put myself in them chains on alert
I had to check had to observe
Way too many shocks to my nerves
It's a gift and a curse yeah
The way it turned out coulda been worse

Back roads train tracks these the paths we took
Check my last name can't label me rook
Ancestors made my way its all wrote
In the book of this blood since then its all growth yeah
I been checking through the scope yeah
Wanted clothes, smoke, hope its all dope yeah
Now I'm grown and I still need more yeah
Been locked out slept on the doorstep
In the garage made all the wrong choices
But I ain't listen to word it was pointless
At the time but now I'm feeling joyful
That's probably why I

I felt outta place at first
Playing catch up I don't wanna tame that hurt
I had no one to blame at first
Till I put myself in them chains on alert
I had to check had to observe
Way too many shocks to my nerves
Its a gift and a curse yeah
The way it turned out coulda been worse
