(Chorus)

she gon' leave me cuz I cain't turn it off
but ay

(Verse 1)


All I have is my car and my ambition
if the engine dies re-evaluate my position

I've given up so much and traveled such a short distance
so love feels like a prison, or cancer without remission

even in my decisions, I'm stabbing up the pages
fashioning these phrases into dazzling contagious

ravenous relations, masterful, you dub me
barreling through life and my pen is rarely dusty

I'll never be homeless
home is where the heart is
my heart is in the music
firmly seated where the art is

identified as a smart kid
foolish as an adult
my dad think I'm stupid
for spending time with this rap stuff

my mom thinks I'm poised
for the title, I don't do this for qualification, it's survival

see I'm on the curb, on the verge
of a purge and I've learned and
I squirm beneath my skin
as this bluish rock turns

complain about your job
I can not complain
if I whine about my life
take everything I've gained

I miss me, I might diss we, plain
your eyes a little misty
liquid wash away the stain

I hope your cry out ever single ounce of moisture
then hit the store for oysters
get hitched or join the cloister

I'mma find a way to get the dirt of the laundry
if you don't want me to create, you don't want me
