Heated Heart

Got an angel by my side, with a devil on my shoulder
And a question in my mind, if you get wiser when you older
Still that heat gon' rise, regret a bunch of shit but can't apologize
Juggling my heart like see saws it's back and forth

If I'm playin' with my food, they fuck around and snatch the fork
They said closed mouths don't get fed, but closed hands don't get a torch
Past life a million times, I got burned to a scorch
Knew that time was goin' fast, when we came from off the porch

Got a key up in my chest, and I know it played a part
And still don't care about the consequences of a heated heart
How they honor all them lies that they told me from the start
All that shit they holdin' back, all the choices to depart

Angel said, just keep it true, what's the options if I need em
Shit ain't never sway my mind, cause in my eyes can't never read em
Devil told me to just bleed em, I understand just like a man
The followers can't lead em, a lot of actions you can't feed em

That's the real life balance in this shit, always gotta twist of fate
Always gotta take a pick, every answer got it's problems
Pro or con, you can't demit, certain shit they couldn't teach me
At that school, in that room, before the college

Let these garments talk to you like they pieces of my knowledge
Know my medulla movin' fast feel my emotions
Bein' modest, can't even see a friend or foe
All these niggas just existing, hands out and steady pinchin

A lot of shit they never mention, probably goin' hard lately
Wanna double momma pension, still gon' retire my lady
For the good, complete the mission, they deserve that shit the most
Stand on the pivot in the post, spin out attack the rim at will

But they gon' jump so I just float, put my center at the core
Pick up my spirit from the floor, broke the threshold so much
Ain't no more hinges on the door, speakin' simple comes so easy
They really think this shit a sport, been on trial with myself

I'm tired of takin' shit to court, put these problems in the way
But in my path I got a sort, yeah
