Florida Gates

I feel like I'm always putting a smile on my face
It seems like it never really works in your favour different flavours
It needs light, the situation at hand with price levels rising
It ain't right, the amount of debt we'll owe with a 30-year mortgage
I love how I know it's my name that they're calling
When my gym teacher can't pronounce it
And her voice is stalling, the other kids are laughing
Hiding my head, holding back bawling
Imagine what that feels like and then realizing
They're all out to get you if you get angry
So you hold it all in and you start laughing
No one can be mad if you're never caught crying
Oh and by the way, I never said race but that's the only factor at play
Florida gates not allowing me in
You think the colour of my skin can't afford the situation
Cancel culture ripe, sanctimonious spikes
You don't need a fuckin' opinion
When you're a fuckin' minion
To systematic forces who agreed on your fate
Right around the time you collapsed on your dreams

I see you
Tryna tell her that I'm sorry
But I'm not

I feel insecure sitting on this train
Budapest Express, arugula dress
Ideas going from my heart to my brain
Waiting at a red light, running through a red light
No more hearing out authority
Questioning sources
Winning the majority
Are we in control of things or are we really monsters

I see you
Tryna tell em' that I'm sorry
But I couldn't find my car keys
On your heartstrings
Going all in

As we gather around the kitchen table
And gallivant with different fables
Taking notes and taking tokes with our beautiful friends and neighbours
Individualistic natures
Organic nomenclature
Whatever you hate, whatever you break
Whatever it takes don't regret it all later

I never meant to call it off
I never meant to lose your insights
I always meant to bring you home
Forever feeling lost with no one to call
I never meant to call it off
I never meant to lose your insights
I always meant to bring you home
Forever feeling lost with no one to call
