All Greens Lyrics by Mayor Talib

Flat Pillow Poet II

2021

[Verse 1]
Stress and anxiety
Was eating at me quietly
I had to cut some people off
Been switching up my diet see
I reached a boiling point
My cranium was overflowing
Over knowing
What I had to do to make a proper showing
The top was glowing
But my soul ain’t wanna see the light
It couldn’t read between the lines
I couldn’t make it read or write
I felt the need to fight
A Spartan like defender
Something like The Platters y’all
I was the great pretender
Pretending I was cool
Losing my identity
I wouldn’t let myself believe
Intangibles were enemies
I lost my energy
My problems were ubiquitous
The coping mechanisms that I had
Were all ridiculous
Feeling like Sisyphus
About to reach the apogee
I focused on the Word
And how it told me to live happily
My mind was trapping me
It wanted all control
Had to get myself together
Made a move to save my soul
[Hook]
5 in the morning on the road
I'm hitting all greens
Thinking bout the moves I used to make and what it all means
Was I empowered a coward
Or somewhere in between
Was I overzealous or jealous
Should I have intervened
5 in the morning on the road
I'm hitting all greens
Thinking bout the moves I used to make and what it all means
Was I empowered a coward
Or somewhere in between
Was I overzealous or jealous
Should I have intervened
[Verse 2]
My inner circle isn’t growing
I got everyone I trust and need
Ducking lust and greed
With the faith the size of mustard seeds
I must proceed
Giving up is for the weak at heart
Every lessons a progression
Time for me to speak my part
I tweak art
Writing way before the sun rose
Name a couple stupid things
I bet your boy done done those
Learned from it turned from it
Most of it is rectified
Never known for waffling
In life you must select a side
I checked my pride at the door
And tipped the hostess
So many people take a shot at fame
I notice most miss
Rimming in and out
They let it go with perfect form
Got a brother thinking
Got me hoping for a perfect storm
Maybe breakthrough
Society can break you
Believe in what you doing
Where your talents gonna take you
Don’t let it shake you
I finally learned my lesson
Knowing history's important
The awareness is a blessing
[Hook]
5 in the morning on the road
I'm hitting all greens
Thinking bout the moves I used to make and what it all means
Was I empowered a coward
Or somewhere in between
Was I overzealous or jealous
Should I have intervened
5 in the morning on the road
I'm hitting all greens
Thinking bout the moves I used to make and what it all means
Was I empowered a coward
Or somewhere in between
Was I overzealous or jealous
Should I have intervened
[Outro]
I should have done something
Said something
