lyrics

lately I've been in my feelings
Got me feeling a sorta way that I'm not really feeling
I try to pull myself up and the body it is willing
But the spirit it is weakened
Still I'm not tryna give in
Tell me, how y'all living
With all this division?
I know there's moves to make and yet I'm plagued by indecision
Should I take the fish or should I take up fishing?
It may sound simple but we're all on different missions please listen
I come with good intentions
So don't be in my mentions
I'm just saying every now and then reach out to your friends and
Make sure that they're doing good
Or is it well?
He could have it all bottled up and you could never tell
Everything is looking swell until
He decides to exercise his rights and then he kills
Just another day in America
Land of the best
I ain't saying that's my plan
I'm just saying that I'm stressed

CHORUS

Tell me how do you cope
When you're at the end of your rope?
I got buyer's remorse
It's a little different than I thought
Yes it's a little different than I thought

Verse 2

I said I couldn't wait till I grew up
Mama said you better learn how
Was what's your favorite dinosaur
Now it's how much do you earn and how do you invest it?
All methods cant be trusted
So whats the rush kid?
I'm getting old no time to fuck with
Just thinking bout it makes me anxious
Heart palpitations and shaking leads to inaction
I'm lacking traction
Step forwards and I'm moving backwards
Yo true talk I'm moonwalking like I'm Michael Jackson
Without the rhinestones or the one glove
Marley sings one love and I'm still single
And all my friends got kids
Ain't got time to kick it for a minute
Can't make no singles
Let alone an album
How come regardless of my output I get the same outcome?
When I was younger Little like Malcolm
I had it figured out but now I doubt what I'm spoutin

CHORUS

Tell me how do you cope
When you're at the end of your rope?
I got buyer's remorse
It's a little different than I thought
Yes it's a little different than I thought

Verse 3

So uhh hip hop and you can't stop
But you're pushing 35 and you ain't popped
What's the plans Pops
See ya man's got
Himself a little house for his spouse
Not a mansion
Just something he can maybe pass down to his grandson
I guess I'm still believing in the dreams that I planned out
And if you ain't with me then please step aside now
I keep the flow wet like Poseidon
So why give up rhyming?
Oh, y'all didn't know that this was therapy?
Gotta remind myself that this rhyming is helping me
'Cause if the money comes second
And the fame comes third
Then therefore first is expressing me
And then the win comes eventually
It ain't no thing if your history never mentions me
Not into talking about fate or what it meant to be
Remember that a whole lot can change is a century.

CHORUS

I figured out how to cope
I just bought some more rope
It's not buyer's remorse
But it's still a little different than I thought
Yes it's still a little different than I thought
