Jaywalk

So, I did a dopamine detox for five days
I couldn't look at screens
I couldn't listen to music or really anything
No audio
Couldn't eat junk food
All I could do is read books, meditate, stare at the wall, and exercise
And this changed my entire fucking life
And that's what this song is about, okay ay

I noticed that I burned myself out
Hustle culture had me flustered but I turned it around and around
The turn that I went I saw a circle with a checkmark
Marking checks with circles
I've been checking all the checkmarks
I keep myself in check I don't hesitate I just do it
Cause motivation dissipates action makes motivation
When you figure out that cycle your life will change for real
I did a five-day dopamine fast and the pain was healed
But there's some drops of liquid rage that drips into my morning seat
My pastor broke my heart, and I was lost inside the war for peace
The shortest seated throw it all away
They heat distorted me they taught me how to swim
I really wish them someone recorded me
So, I could analyze myself and pick apart my flaws
Take 'em through the forge, and insert 'em in the iron jaws
Grab a hammer with some leather on my arms
Because this the real work and we've only begun
Let's get it

I had to take a day off
Talking to my spirit guides, they look like gray Hawks
Got my mind right, fore I felt it break off
And start to run away before the boy jaywalks
Yeah, uh
I had to take a day off
Talking to my spirit guides, they look like gray Hawks
Get my mind right, fore I feel it break off
And then start to run away before the boy jaywalks
You hear me

I'm finally present with the people that I love
I felt guilty cause I noticed them, but didn't see 'em once
Locked up the studio, my feelings was a crutch
I was addicted to these apps but now I see 'em as a drug
I got lost inside that crystal frame for hours at a time
I felt weak, and I was, I was powerless inside
Cause I knew I wanted change, but my coward of a mind
Told me no, it's okay, we're happy, and now I'm like
You been lying to me, why the fuck you keep on lying to me
We're supposed to be a team, but now you're eyeing me
There ain't no 'I' in me, but there's a me in team
So now I'm tryna see what the fuck is up?
So, then I cut the cord
Unplugged the screens and read books, took walks, and I stared at walls
Soon the voices left, and the fear I had, disappeared in fog
I was very lost, at the edge of my wits, like Prairie dogs
I'm 'bout to take another leap of faith, but I'm prepared to fall
Let's get it

I had to take a day off
Talking to my spirit guides, they look like gray Hawks
Got my mind right, fore I felt it break off
And start to run away before the boy jaywalks
Yeah, uh
I had to take a day off
Talking to my spirit guides, they look like gray Hawks
Get my mind right, fore I feel it break off
And then start to run away before the boy jaywalks
You hear me
