lyrics

Feelin like a sea bear the way I’m wading through these problems
Muscle through the pain, yeah, that’s how I’m goin solve ‘em

Wait, hold up
Another day in the wasteland waiting for frost to float up
Never does, never will, it kills, the will, it folds up
Never been uninspiring
Brain jostles its wiring and starts to load up
Another drive to a small town with no lights on the corner
No reason for pity like a starving Trump supporter trying to get across the border
Back track that, tryna build my listeners up, brick and mortar
But we set out, shovelling the snow outside our house
Waiting for the Lord to turn the world around
I’m taking the weight of it pound for pound
Think I’m down for the count
Even if the boulder never budges, it was worth it to fight the bout
But while my heart is in the north, my talents are heading south
At least that’s how I feel about it
No recognition from peers in isolation can fill your doubt
Never mind the acts of tyranny that make the walls come down
Cave inside of my heart where my feelings were, wow
Can’t hold the walls up without strength in myself
Never undervalue my worth against the weight of my wealth
The way I weave words, you’d think the vowels were felt
The consonants are the thread, my passion tightens the belt
I’m a day one fan with my heart on my sleeve
I’m a cold blood shooter end of clock down 3
I’m that 12 year old boy in the shrubs, felt like a tree
I’mma put away the game til those texts go green
I’m most famous for the work that always goes unseen
Rule tracks with iron fists, punching holes through beams
I’m my own dream team, see me working the seams
My vibe is handmade, no frozen food in the genes
No salt in the wound, know that I’m skipping the gout
Clock triple digits, know this shit was a rout
Cards are all down, know I’m punching you out

And when you fall, get back up again
