Trees

My mama always told me not to play in them trees
She said if you falling out that's on you, it's not on me
I still fell inside out
She let me eat on the couch
That's confirming all my doubts
Still got a lot to figure out

My mama always told me not to play in them trees
She said if you falling out that's on you, it's not on me
I still fell inside out
She let me eat on the couch
That's confirming all my doubts
Still got a lot to figure out

Used to write rap like all day
And in class and in hallways
When I was skipping, trying to finish
The mission got a long way
Never wanted to spit it, then half-ass it
Never spit in fire
'Cause I wanted to go and spit that fucking plasma

Wasn't worried about fame
And claiming that I'd be better
Don't burn the wood you needed to keep your ladder
Falling way too hard
Now you know you gotta get back up
But let it fall upon you
Now you ain't got no backup
So back us and back up
Alarms, they be ringing on God

I'll be singing 'cause I need it
I've been feeling like the smoke, yeah, I leave it
But it always returns to burning
And just like the smoke up I, I be returning
Yawning, but I'm learning
That you gotta put the work in

Adding person to your purpose
Adding service to your searching
A constant change and the world's turning
So are you healing or just hurting?
Do you know what's for certain?

Mama knows best
And your father's speaking life
And you don't think I learned the wrong from the right
Learned that life is just a lie
Condemned it, but you can't hide it

It's all about the timing
Lost, you gotta find it
Wisdom and passion is patient magic
We get happy and then saddened
But we have what we haven't
Gifted in the moments
Yes, I'm never owning, they just pass it
The motion is potent
The present ain't everlasting

Laughing, I'm acting like the time I waste
I need so many things on me
I just wanna buy my parents property
Make sure they are taken care of
Like they had care for me
Help my family we grieve
'Cause these boys ain't thinking that they're free
They cry, they're feeling healed to be weak

And they fight for our peace
And fight in all peace
And from the wrongs, the strongs
We learn we cannot be
'Cause we want people happy
You and I are one queue
How can't we have peace?
Don't you ask me
Do the math B
