Nottingham Knights

Back pedalling to the life that you thought that you had
Skilled with no motor but kept a foot on the gas
How you keep looking forward but still stuck in the past
Wish for better days, nights in Nottingham
See I understand cause we the same like symmetry
Know what they say but ain't no company love misery
Just some medaling kids, tryna rewrite history
Smoking shaggy grass, still trying to solve a mystery
Attacking like sentries, reacting like chemistry
Act like it's meant to be, if I ask will you send for me
Guard your energy, by any means please dodge your enemies
Gave me place to stay, I was moving like refugees
Who gon' be next to me when I make it out
Destinee saw the lane, she told me stick it out
Before I had any honey, nobody sticking around
Now everybody wanna slice like I'm Bellagio's now
I guess it's hard to be down when you already hot
I need a few more commas around this writer's block
I respect all the punctuation, shout-out to the Dot
So I just build anticipation, fireworks when they
Popping out of my comfortable circle
I like my weed purple, you twisted like nurple
I like a girl who kinda smart, she giving me Urkel
Born ready, on your mark, jumping every hurdle
Setting fire to my heart when the soul's fertile
I gotta keep the mind sharp, this is not rehearsal
Ain't no role reversal, no cut to commercial
I come alive after dark, think I'll die nocturnal
I'm in the Kitchen with Myrtle, I got the splash like Squirtle
I swear I'm casting every spell the way I'm writing this journal
I don't cry over spilled milk, I know it's already curdled
Life is fast as a rabbit but death is slow as a turtle
I'm tryna be verbal about this shit lately
They stealing black babies, they killing sleeping ladies
Like the one who raised me, that's not supposed to phase me
Am I going crazy, maybe not but maybe
I don't think you could pay me enough to make it worth it
Chad just want me to make it up so I keep on working
This some shit you can't make it up, I was feeling nervous
But the feeling is priceless even if the truth is worthless
Tell me what's the purpose

Soul searching now, don't turn this down
Hope it works out, don't turn back now
Soul searching now, don't turn this down
Hope it works out, don't turn back now
A couple of good vibes, a couple of fights
A whole lot of bad crushes I didn't even like
A whole lot of big dreams, surrounded lights
Back in Nottingham but it just for night

Pieces change but the puzzle is still the same
You looking up at me strange, the puzzle is on your face
We eating good, living great, don't worry just grab a plate
I'm sharing parts of my blessings and blessing 'em with my grace
Taking all of my lessons with grain of salt just to taste
My daddy taught me the flave, mama taught me to pace
I just took all of my pain and painted the bigger picture
I showed it to all my niggas, let's chill the fuck out today
Hey
