Manifest

This kind of sight can be pretty
You know, it doesn't feel like just another night in the city
With nothing for me, kind of boring, and sure enough, wasn't witty
They wanna be high and mighty, then hire us for their bidding
We're calling it good riddance, I'm not afraid to admit it
As long as I help the ones who will actually benefit, and
I honestly only wanted to ever just make a difference
And wear my heart on my sleeve instead of keeping it hidden

And wear my heart on my sleeve instead of keeping it hidden

And wear my heart on my sleevе, instead of keeping it hidden

Made a mistake by trying to imposed
Silly thinking you were ever safe when I walk alone
And a single hit up on your face just to break your nose
Stuck up, lil' fucking hoe, safe to fucking say you're toast
Soon they'll see me paint the road, I've been getting sick
And I just carry so much hatred, I'mma show you all of it
So if I want it, I'mma take it, and don't care much for the risk
But there's a lot I can't escape, so I'mma try and keep it brisk

The streets got me feeling safe; what did you expect?
I can't hear a word over the fray; you should send a text
This is where I grew up, so I'm staying, soon to be address
When you get a bullet in your brain, just like your name was Dex
Now the pain will manifest, I'm barely a man at best
You should prolly can it; I'll manage if I can handle death
I don't think they understand; I'm not who they can affect
They won't get another chance 'cause there isn't any left, no
No, so tell me what to do
'Cause I feel it once again, like I have something to lose
And I think we both know who I'd pick, if it was me or you
Look, you were the only person with me I could ever choose
Promise, I was staying true and was stuck here paying dues
No one there to listen, doesn't matter who you're praying to
I don't say it loosely; it consumes me, all this hate for you
And now it's every day, I wanna take it all and make it through
Optimism is empty, but want the business, so test me
I'm so much more than a rookie, so I'll be willing and ready
There's not too many I think of that I can say don't resent me
But fuck it, top me a drink off and take the rest of my eddies

Put everything on the line for a couple of scraps
Thinkin' I'll let you nickel and dime me is nothing but wack
Always impeccable timing; let's see how long you could last
Suffer more than they wanted to wonder; my heart is under attack
They got me reliving that; it all changed the day I met her
Showed me who I'm meant to be and turned me into someone better
Wish we'd spend like every single evening on the moon together
Next time I'mma feel this way is prolly never

Next time I'mma feel this way is prolly never, no
Next time I'mma feel this way is prolly never, no

The streets got me feeling safe
The streets got me feeling safe
The streets got me feeling safe; what did you expect?
I can't hear a word over the fray; you should send a text
The streets got me feeling safe; what did you expect?
