Where do I turn when my fair weathered friends/bail in the end/oh this again/if you’re they motivation then on who can you depend/...to keep the ship movin when your motivation’s spent?/
I’m just tryna break the trends of my kinfolk/...my people got the bends yeah they been soaked/Under so my much pressure to survived/though we been dope/ to not pursue greatness is an insult/ So what you waiting for an invite/
this ain’t about me being wrong or you being right/Alright, maybe fair weathered isn’t fair/cuz it’s been years/and y’all been there/but I’m still tight/Like, there goes the passion/you can guess you know what happens/hit a few rough patches while on thin ice/ Right?/we was spose ta break records dropping records/...that’s still my plan I don’t write just cuz it feels nice
Don’t sweat the chorus/y’all been my brothers in music since we was back in chorus/had our whole lives before us/Too focused on the trees maybe I can’t see the forest?/the purpose of life is to live it and live jouyous right?/
So what’s my beef/what I’m bitchin bout?/I guess I just got this itch for a different route/I remember sittin on your mother’s couch/trading bars back and forth/you were better so I thought/but it’s been a minute now/
Listen if there’s any whispers that this is a competition I just wanna take a second to address it/rather dismiss it/that is not what this is/...I’m confessing with the risk of being called divisive/
I hope you see through my bitching/that it’s love/I’m just wishing it was different/but it’s the way that it happened/it’s the way that we lived it/either way we got a story we can tell to our children
man I’ll see y’all next week
