1Am Lyrics by Joshva

Five Summers

2017

[Verse]

Hand on the Bible
Who you look to when you got no idols
I been out here patrolling this high road
9 to 5 ain't a life that's survival
I've been backwards and forth in this place
And I'm learning that life move in cycles
And they went and they labeled me truth
Feel like Steph as I Curry that title
As of late I been feeling entitled
Following scriptures I learned from the Bible
Forging my life like I'm morally bind to
Half of these women was dead on arrival
Don't tell me your life won't you show me your FICO
Representations of things that you tied to
Just like Lebron don't compare me to Michael
I'd never judge you or take you for granted them things only I do

[Hook]

I get to flip
But those are things only that I do
Those are things only that I do
Those are things only that I do
I would commit
Cuz those are things only that I do
Those are things only that I do
Those are things only that I do


[Verse]

Yeah
How do I persist
A young black Christian running crazy with his gifts
And now I'm on my fifth summer and it's feeling like my sixth
Calm down
Last few years I been ducking
Turning nothing into something
Try to stay clear of the fronting
When you was college grad living boo'd up with another
I was peddling the music making flips with the brothers
And that's cool, we was making moves
Knew that I would shoot that's why I never went to school
Mama told me she would go half on tuition
But I told her I'm the only one out with a vision
And here's the plight
If you try to call me to fight I rather type
Heard they tryna party tonight I rather write
Ice with codeine the liquor is so mean
So if you asking me bout a drink I rather Sprite, right
What is life
I'm tryna live it right
The irony is women who socially type cast
With intentions to suppress all the feelings they might have
Comparisons to me and they ex
It's got me thinking is their anything I'm doing that he hasn't done
Are they any places in your heart he hasn't won
Or the fact that I was out here trying save me for the future
You was out here making memories and having fun
What the heck have I been doing
Comfortable with the fact that I'm comfortable with the facts
If God loved me in spite of all of my past
How am I not to reciprocate everything that He has

[Hook]

Cuz those are things only that I do
Those are things only that I do
Those are things only that I do

Those are things only that I do
Those are things only that I do
Those are things only that I do
I would commit
Cuz those are things only that I do
Those are things only that I do
Those are things only that I do
