Lately I’ve been texting people but I’ve been dodging replies
Laying back in the shadows, hidden watching reality drain from my eyes
Holding back from reaching out, crying out
I’m all good it’s all lies
Faking it and not making it
Draining me of my energy
Take me home, make me a remedy
Late night conversations with Hennessy
Mama I know you're praying for me
Wanna take a breather but I’m burning spliffs
Wanna make connections but I’m cutting strings
don’t know where it’s hurting, I just feel unease
Wanna stop the noise wanna find some peace
Tryna find direction just tryna be me


Mostly I’ve been making plans but I’ve been struggling to build them
Chasing after dreams grasping at the wind
shits been a little bit overwhelming
Life plays like a movie, and the whole world is watching
I’ve been acting, I’ve been reeling
On script off script I’ve been fiddling
Too busy deciding, to be or not to be
I mean who am I without this skin
Where’s the boundary between the parts I can see and those that I can feel
Everyone seems all put together, like they would do it better
All I see in the mirror is someone who tried to do it better
Tried to play life counter
Now he’s draining bottles of misery and fanning flames of banter
It’s reality not theatre
I’ve been writing I’ve been scripting
Real busy igniting
Creativity, I’ve been mastering
Tryna get my name on that vinyl
Tryna top the charts, bag a Grammy.
