Procrastination

Not the best at starting things I know I'm gon' sit still till I'm finished
But ironically that's when I make my greatest decisions
The ones I lock in with forever like I got life in prison, but with exceptional living
Yeah, pleading the fifth turns into pleading guilty
Cause then quote on quote innocence often hurts more
Cause a lot of people scared of committing to what they work for
But if you really work for it, it's yours but you scared to work more
But sometimes what we work for ain't always what we deserve more
Cause there's always more competitive spirits
From your perspective you inches away from crossing that finish
But whoever wears the flag sees you no measurement near it
Eyes gettin' teary, passion gets weary, trust me it happens
But I look around and remember if I see anyone near me I probably lapped 'em
Til I see the baddest mf in the mirror, no Mike Jackson, unh
But we still neck and neck, with all due respect

Sweet Procrastination
We got to fight it off
Sweet Procrastination, sweet procrastination
Before it kills us all

2020 I was fighting demons, I was killing em
2021 demanded bouquets, y'all was giving 'em
2022 I had to re-up on some realer shit
By the time I graduated in '23 I had a lot to fill like dealerships
Precise with all my dues, check my diligence
But shit can get so risky if I'm sickly with an ill intent
Play dumb if you want, I don't think twice about belligerence
Always ten steps ahead, one false move I still land it, baby
Like COVID dropping new strands one by one like a cancer patient
But I got it in control, that's my field that's my practice, baby
Feel like A.I., y'all question the process my answer's action, baby
Music like therapy, let my words hit 'fore these hands replace
Couple blows to your face will pin your fate Just like a hand grenade
While sittin' 'round and procrastinating until the planet fades
Singing this song while burning by gamma rays

Sweet Procrastination
We got to fight it off
Sweet Procrastination, sweet procrastination
Before it kills us all

Procrastination came to run the fade
Like black men tapered up that want ya babe
Procrastination always gone to slay
Like black women with edges freshly laid
Procrastination came to make its rounds
You might hide from its looks but not the sounds
Procrastination came to make its rounds
You might hide from its looks but not the sounds
I know what's wrong with you
You're afraid, you feel as if well either
Either just because true love broke you once it could do it again
Or the next time you let your guard down to love again
It would be the same void as before you ever truly loved in the first place
I understand

Sweet Procrastination
We got to fight it off
Sweet Procrastination, sweet procrastination
Before it kills us all
