Headspace (feat. Juante Smith)

When I'm alone in my room, sometimes I stare at the ceiling
And in the back of my mind dog
I be missing that feeling of having inner peace
A nigga tryna tame his inner beast
But critics at the dinner table treat me like the centerpiece
Mom's still using my name on her cable bills
Got a degree but it's still hard to pay the bills
Losing friends at only thirty years old
Got me contemplating if I should go ahead and make a dying will
Cause everybody been calling me asking where I been
But voicemails are much better than tryna play pretend
I hope ya good, I hope ya well, I pray ya still a friend
But right now I need to a little time for a spirit cleanse
They say it's good for creatives who like rhyming
Fuck the pressure, cause nigga I don't even like diamonds
I don't need it, so before my critics call me a headcase
I'm staying in the room to get some headspace, like

Please forgive me I been gone for so long
I know they say it takes five seconds to use a phone
To let you know that I'm good I'm doing well
But honestly I'd much rather be here alone to focus on

Please forgive me I been gone for so long
I know they say it takes five seconds to use a phone
To let you know that I'm good I'm doing well
But honestly I'd much rather be here alone to focus on... me

I just need some... headspace
Focus on me

Missed calls and text messages
To hit you back I know a nigga being negligent
It's a battle being such a private person
At the same time I'm tryna be this microphone specialist
Now everybody knows who we are
I find that my battery for socializing it might just need a recharge
Bills increasing from student loans of that higher learning
Smoke these degrees and just ease is what my mind's deservin'
See it's a challenge to balance the life and rhyme-scape
And trace it on these pages the pace be having my mind race
I find it better just to be by myself
To try to solve all these problems never askin' for help
Yo, Mom's is mad cuz grandma hasn't heard from me
Missin' my presence just know that isn't my purpose
See it's only cuz I'm busy it's been happenin' currently
I try to spend some time but I ain't got that type of currency

Please forgive me I been gone for so long
I know they say it takes five seconds to use a phone
To let you know that I'm good I'm doing well
But honestly I'd much rather be here alone to focus on

Please forgive me I been gone for so long
I know they say it takes five seconds to use a phone
To let you know that I'm good I'm doing well
But honestly I'd much rather be here alone to focus on... me

I just need some... headspace
Focus on me

I just need to breathe
I just need to breathe
