Summerinlandover.

Where do I start? So many pieces to pick apart
This is my art; from blood, sweat, tears and my heart
I've witnessed pain, found comfort in rain, I can't complain
I see the game for what it is and what it ain't
Yeah, it's kinda funny how these people be movin' and shakin'
Thinkin' that I wouldn't notice, you're really mistaken
I take my time, I take my notes 'cause I see the formation
Of my dreams coming to life; it's simply amazing
Yeah, simply amazing
For 30 years been puttin' in pain and work into pavements
Runnin' in mazes, loss a couple loose ends like I'm tying up laces
But the voices in my head only speak on occasions
I'm overthinking everything 'cause I'm plottin' and scrappin'
Being a leader and the face of this thing is frustratin'
Because you're not sure if you're winnin' or losin' or waitin'
Because you're not sure if your friends and family are hatin'
Because you're not sure if your team is really your team
Because you're not sure if the dream is really a dream
You're always wondering if people support the regime
Because you're not sure if your people are people you need
The harsh reality been runnin' its course
Been screamin' inside for so long, my thoughts become hoarse
Yeah, look, my thoughts become hoarse
It's like I've been dying for so long that living's a force
I try to vent but people start addin' their cents and of course
I pivot into therapist brain and try to enforce
The same advice I need for myself, ironic of course
The therapist needing a therapist, the world is so warped
Another reason why my mind is a corpse and of course
I never speak my mind because people retort

A couple people come to mind when I'm expressin' my mind
I hope that they all succeed and know I valued their time
Sometimes I wish it woulda work out but at the same time
I'm glad it ended when it ended 'cause we lived in our prime
There's no bad blood on my dime
But if some folks wanna talk, they can hit up my line
But if they don't have my number, the problem ain't mine
I guess I stand where I stand and they're standin' behind
For real
Well it is what it is
I gotta keep on movin' forward and handle my biz
I'm breakin' curses, buildin' futures, the sake of my kids
Dependin' on me even though they won't see it for years
Doesn't matter
I'm tryna live so long that my age isn't a factor
From kidney issues, mental problems, see my body could shatter
At any given moment, I gotta love through disasters
Love and light to all those who's been apart of my chapters
M.J., J. Mally, g.belle
J. Ave as well
Aisya Ais, to Leneigh, even Daisha as well
Raphael, y'all my people for real
Yeah, y'all my people for real
I don't know what's gonna happen next 'cause everything ain't guaranteed
And it feels surreal, yeah, and it feels surreal
