August

My name is August, I'm so far from flawless
This heart has been damaged, need a bandage where my scars is
These eyes have seen plenty, these hands have shook many
These lies took a toll from all of those friends, folks turned enemies

And I'm really from the streets, really where they play for keeps
Really where we taught hard heart
Don't show emotion, you'll look weak
But I've always just been me, who got hard leakup for weeks
Wear emotions on my sleeve, on the grind until I'm weak

But I gotta keep movin'
Grindin' for more, keepin' my hope
Covered in prayer, God, please, don't let me go
Work on my trauma, lick all of my own wounds
Love myself like I'm supposed to
Keep my light when my days look low
Tell me could you do the same too?
Still love me when it's very scary

Ride with me, babe
Do a bid, stack and grind, say I'ma pray with you
Do-or-die type of love that vow to stay with you
Ride top, bang hard, just caught a stray bullet
Reckless love
February to forever-ary, say swear, ain't no endin' to us
Could you be my future, like June into July, don't you lie

Let me introduce myself
My name August (August), have you fallin' (fallin')
Like it's August (August)
Pardon, let me introduce myself
My name August (August), have you fallin' (fallin')
Like it's August (August)
Pardon, let me introduce myself
