Chicken Kebab

I been feeling so tired
They say my eyes look drained
I hurt a lot in my mind
But I don't show you the pain
They say it's all in due time
Well I been waiting a while
And hesitating to smile
Cause I ain't feelin the same
See I been tryna be happy
But the world's gone mad
And my mom's upset
And my girl's all sad
My father told me the only thing in the way is the hours within a day
I been trying to live in your world dad
But I been stressing to score
Somebody set me a lob
I might walk to the store
And try to get my a job
My pockets ain't too deep
The only thing that I eat
Is from the cart up the street
I get the chicken kebab
You think it's funny I think it's a cold, cruel, old planet
And I don't know what I need to do to help me understand it
The only thing that I know
Is at the end of my rope
I want the people to know that I didn't take it for granted
My head is hurting today
I didn't drink enough water
My sister just had a son
My brother just had a daughter
It got me thinking of childhood and the way I was brought up
It's 2 AM and I'm calling my mom and texting my father

But I been doing alright
How's it going for you?

My heart been weighing a lot
So I been praying a bunch
I told my momma I'm busy so I ain't staying for lunch
I finally got a car
I been saving for months
Somebody already hit me now it's a dent in the front
Some people get what they want
I don't think I'm that person
I tried the law of attraction
But I don't think that it's workin
Somebody said you get whatever you deserve in the universe
And I'm starting the think that I just might not be deserving
But I been tryna be humble
I don't like being negative
I should call up my uncle
I barely talk to my relatives
And whenever I do
It's never anything new
A "Hey, hello, how are you"
Without the truth or the sentiment
But it's still all love
I mean it's not that bad
But if any family's listening could you call up my dad
Cause neither party been budging and Muslims don't hold grudges
So somebody do something before I start to get mad
Cause I don't wanna do that
I'm a nice dude y'all
And every once in a while someone from high school calls
To send a little fake loving before they ask me for something
And I'll help just know I can see right through y'all

But I been doing alright
How's it going for you?
Yeah I been doing alright
How's it going for you?
