Control

Don't you know I know
I ain't got no self control
I wanna put these feelings on hold
But I ain't got no self control

I'd be wrong I give into my conscience
Got no money in my pockets
Man this shit is killing me
Struggle inside of the projects
Trust I'm doubting my mindset
But I amount to nothing I won't let the negativity
All on my own
I have to be all alone
But I feel pain in my heart
But yet I have to be grown
I just can't take it, enough
Play from the morn to the dusk
I wanna do something but guess I'm lacking the touch

Trust
I don't recognize
Life inside my reckoned eyes
Blinded by my stress anxiety
Is where my head resides
Soulless petrified
Magic in my head has died
Ressurect affection ain't no blessings in my second life
Second guessing everybody yo who got me
Paranoia got me dodgy
Probably not me in my body
Getting slim
People I don't trust are settling
Wonder who let 'em in
Open letters when my voice is getting thin

Fuck them then
Always playing victim like you ain't just see enough of them
Playing with your motives give a fuck again
Blood is thin
Same fam will want a limb to bend
When they all pretend
I could tell you had a bad day when you had enough of him
I've been reflecting no second guessing
When all is said
I'll be a menace with all revenge till I'm fucking dead
Uh, Sinking in life
Don't care about tomorrow I'm not living tonight
Losing sight

Following the stares round town
Rather take a flight
Sky's are never fair I've found
Actors fake and nice
I direct the bare high ground
Never budging for a wave
Stubborn where I drown
Uh
I relate to those who hate to cope
Taking those escapes to where the angels go
Scared that I can't break the role
Viscous cycle venom idling
I connect to violins
Strings are puppeteering til I find a friend

Don't you know I know
I ain't got no self control
I wanna put these feelings on hold
But I ain't got no self control

Some people get to prove who they are
I have to prove what I'm not
Shares and views on my music
Don't share the views of the cops
Y'all perception distorted
Just like this mic and this box
They peg my mind with these rocks
I might be fighting the clock
Classism in my city put my mind in these locks
See it's kind of astonishing how I fly when they flock
Seeming lonely and silent I can't decide when to stop
Been alone on my island I see my time as it rots

Spin the block
Yeah you got it but we see who you are
I keep components composed but never gave it a thought
I keep emotions real blue, am I happy I'm not
But I'll be damned I fake emotions I came in with a plot
To be taking over, tired of the world upon my shoulders I've been moving colder a loner persona of Tortoise
Cause I'm moving at my own speed and I hope y'all don't notice
But I'm exploding with rage and I'm losing composure
Hold up
What you do for exposure?
What you do for the cameras?
What you do if you know us?
All my niggas they with me
I'll be damned if we folding
Put a nigga on they neck you can never control us hold up

Don't you know I know
I ain't got no self control
I wanna put these feelings on hold
But I ain't got no self control
