Off the Ropes/Still That Guy

One, two, three, let's go
I'm not even close to rich but just happy I ain't broke
I never dealt with the coke but
Remember stretching Dawn was mixing water wit the soap
Becoming rich in spirit meant holding on to yo hopes
And maintaining yo peace when you wanna grab the toast
Don hurt people that I cared about the most
While sacrificing my pride
Trying more to get outside
My boy would rather stay indo
And that's funny
Cuz that's exactly what he smoke
Did a couple flips after diving off the deep end
Music been decent
Outside of the raps is under wraps keep it secret
But opening up more feels better now I'm releasing
Add it up in sequence
Felt the pain seep in
Lost a lot of people so I'm tryna find the reason
Homies off in County locked up I can't see them
Ain't no way to live
Got a bid so long
That his pronouns are free/him

I don lost hope but then found me a coach
Now they want smoke I'm like get off the ropes
Only one sixty but fighting in heavy weight
Down for the count but I'm getting up anyway
I don lost hope but then found me a coach
Now they want smoke I'm like get off the ropes
Only one sixty but fighting in heavy weight
Down for the count but I'm getting up anyway

Whatchu know bout not folding under the pressure
But folding to the pressure of
Focusing on the pressure
Grabbed a fresh white tank top from the dresser
I chose flow over guns some would call that progressive
Hopped off the porch wit a mindset for progression
With this weight I'm tryna carry
I ain't miss two steps
My muscles worked through pandemic
And you can tell cuz It's barely any tissue left
This independent we gon get it done
Some people put all they faith in the pendant
Or something that they tote
To deal with all my problems a little different than most
I just used to watch my mom go through it and take notes
Found God up in service He walked so I could float
Burdens be heavy but still I rise is the quote
And the Bible said he don't give you more than what you can handle
So according to understanding
Man I gotta be the goat
G I gotta be the goat
It only makes sense
Aye

I don lost hope but then found me a coach
Now they want smoke I'm like get off the ropes
Only one sixty but fighting in heavy weight
Down for the count but I'm getting up anyway
I don lost hope but then found me a coach
Now they want smoke I'm like get off the ropes
Only one sixty but fighting in heavy weight
Down for the count but I'm getting up anyway

Get back up and I'm still that guy
Get back up and I'm still that guy
Get back up and I'm still that guy
Get back up and I get back up and I
Stuck between not caring and caring
Tryna be more vocal but it's dreadful I'm Bobby McFerrin
Fear is hard to face but over here I've been constantly staring
It's hard to show emotions that I bare but not be embarrassed
This level of transparency can not be inherit
This gotta be God, show me, this gotta be odd
Cuz I've never felt like this before but I'm not into comparing
Speaking of
Speaking of speaking
I'm caught in your silence
Funny how watchin the sun rise
Can broaden horizons
Now I want more, colorful cords, what lies in your eyelids
Do you miss it
Am I reaching for glass in my hands
Do you miss me like when people miss Acid Rap Chance
Lookin through glass at a glance
Hope that I'm baring good fruit
Hope that this carry over to next
But I'm caring for you
I'm into taking some risks
And you into taking yo time
I'm choosing peace over posts
Leave all them worries beh
