Flour Boy (feat. The Miraculous Stivali)

In January the weekend scares me
Snowfall buries me
Windchill tears me
Take me to school, get more degrees
But please
Too hard to sit in seminars
Rather bars, or take cars
Two towns down, Odysseus
Scars show the wisdom I found, coniferous
Trees line the hilltops, people in the valleys
Smoke leaves on the boat locks
It rocks
To know you're not alone here
You're family's around and in the spring
Something grows here
Walk into the kitchen and there's
Something on the stove here, grab a spoon

I fear to leave- got more life
A surplus that came to me
Just for being Steve

I don't know myself like I wish I did
Can't say for a fact that I'm happy I lived
Every day, it's attacks on the hole where I'm hid
Hear all of the laughs from down under my lid
But I been wearing this cap since when I was a kid
And I don't make stacks but my income mid
And I don't lift max but my big bro did
And I can't relax but I won't get rid
Of the life that I owe to my mama and dad
And I'd kill myself if my mama was sad
And I'm not even mad I'm not their boy anymore
I just bought two dresses from the online store
And I learned my lessons from way back before
But I wanna to see the messes when they see what I wore
And I close the door in the face of the past
And I still have fun at that Sunday mass
And I still smile big from behind this mask
And I hang up the phone on the things that I lack
I'm black

It's hard to be a person, I'm not good at it
Lived my whole adolescence in my hood and it
Never occurred that the words mumbled to myself
Would be the thing that helped my crawl up out of hell:
I'm trying my best, don't get mad at me
Please settle for less, something I can reach
I'm only one guy and I won't believe the lie that
Being perfect's any better than the rest
