Wings (Roost)

I got this monkey on my back and we reside in cahoots
Sun is shining and I wonder why I'm feeling uncouth
Dig my digits in the dirt trying to combine wit my roots
I been flying for so long that I forgot how to roost
I was lying to myself had to align with my truth
Often times in this life I can't decide what to do
I been blinded by surmises peep my iris for proof
I exist behind my eyelids trying to hide in the moot
I been dancing in the mirror trying to retrace my steps
Choreography is spotty and I'm dating myself
Funds lost in trivial pursuits I'll rebate my wealth
Angels watching over me I wanna replace they deaths
Demons lounging on my shoulder whispering in my ear
Sometimes I wanna listen but the language ain't clear
Every day I'm facing off with everything that I fear
Trying to revel in success like it is rare that I fail

I don't care bout the fame
Niggas that I never met they recognize me by name
And they acting like I owe 'em got me racking my brain
Got this monkey on my back sometimes he drive me insane
I just wanna fly away but niggas hack at my wings
I just wanna live a normal life
Raise a couple kids, pray they inherit my overbite
I'll tell 'em what is wrong even though I'll never know what's right
But how can I be present to my family I'm a poltergeist
Apparently I disappeared but I don't feel the distance here
I don't feel the pressure closing in on every instance here
I can't hear the dissonance my visual is crystal clear
Wanted to be closer but I'm fizzling away into the hemisphere
Know my hemoglobin low
Probably told somebody every lyric to this song but the words was jokes
But I ain't joking tho and I ain't wanna choke no more
Telling you the truth like I wrote this while I'm under oath
