Red Button (TY Avery Edition)

Sometimes you can get so caught up
In everybody else's business,
And what they got going on
You can start looking for acceptance in
Everything else but yourself
To the point that you lose yourself
You find someone else
That's not you

Reaching for the star
That's the inner me
I pray the Lord protect me
From the energies
That's fronting like they got me
Or they kin to me
But hate to see me shine
Only dimming me
I realize my greatest opp was opening
Was masking isolation when I'm focusing

Although it helped me get to where
I'm meant to be
I cut off important pieces
God sent to me
I know I'm getting older cause
I focus more on the future
Of our youth
And what they have in store
It's something about these stores
Running out of things

Remind me of our future
Running out of change
Credit cards only or exact change
You know the perfect picture IG filter
They don't act like you was live
Until somebody killed you
Then everybody picking you
Now ain't that peculiar
Now ain't that peculiar

Just touching on topics
That's been on my spirit
Cause I had a moment of losing
Myself recently and I'm one
Of the most like secure people
Mentally and spiritually like
sSharing myself to the world
You would think TY
Got it all together but
Nah I'm figuring it out too

I care for you
Just like I care for me
We should normalize getting therapy
To get the help
That set us free
Cause hurt people hurt people
Whether verbally or physically
It's tied to our history
That we hardly seek

To understand
Just pass down
From hand to hand
Man to man
So many views from different hues
No clues on how to break through
Just how to break you
And build me
Fighting each other
When working together

Is so much better
We'd flow much better
Blooming like a flower
Cause we'd grow much better
Free to all
Feeling like a free to fall
How I see it
Scared for our youth
Overall we defeated

Cause every time we take
A step forward it's retreated
And every time we make
Progress it's deleted
Falling in a cycle where the rest
Tend to find rest
We can change the world
If we change our mindset
And come together
Yeah
And we just getting started
