[Verse One: SkiBs]
See a diamond in that mirror, trying to brush off this dirt
Nineteen. See, I've seen a whole lot
Still searching, I hope not
My soul rot
Stay strong
Never would my growth stop [?]
Chains off, goals on the stovetop
Rolling and I'm finna get it popping like when hoes on my sofa
Ready for it all, already gone so far
Goals from the soul
Not a Rolls or a gold watch
Yeah I know my road rolled through that island that I hold down
Prince of the hometown
You don't know? Well, you know now
Hey fuck your system, made my own crowns
Own sound, old style, Sunny finna be so proud
But see this fear? Got a young genius so tied
So tied up just trying to find his moment
Know that these floors could be sore to the moment. [?]
God in these poems, he's been blessing me for so long
All I do is smoke on
All I do is prolong
The feeling of this clock is a roadblock
Yeah conscious of this nonsense lose love in that road stop
Boy, I got drive like Wing when she sold pot. [?]
Four-hundred for the eggs those were the days that we flew by
Posted up on Max's balcony getting so high
Looking over Tai Tam waters as we roll up
Yeah I said, looking over Tai Tam waters while we roll up
Back when I didn't know stuff
And now this times gone by and at times feels hopeless
Been sipping through these roaches feeling soulless when I'm spitting [?]
Got me ripping like a roach from my notecard
Hey next time you scope them seas I'll be that East-West Coast Guard
Swimming through these women coast to coast like my boats gone
Trying to mask my inner screams, jeez I've been so scarred
Echoes of the laughter at my dreams, I was so young
But I was so strong
God damn, little Lucas, shit is stupid, you the man
You've done this shit once, you can do this shit again
You can do this shit again. They were sick teens at sixteen
They still told him nobody could see just what it means when I wrote songs
So many close calls, yeah I never gave up
Used to have her by my side, now that bed's made up
Her mind made up
Just wish that I could tell her one more time "Yeah I love you and I'm sorry I've been so wrong
You've been so strong
Since you've gone, now my hope's gone."
And as I'm writing this, I wonder if I'll hold on
I don't know, man, will I hold on?
All I've got's these words
I've been cursed
Only way to heal my hurt
Is to put it in a verse
Every record that I murk's [?]
Just a way to reach her. [?]
I've been trying to find her
[?] since birth. Hey [?] since birth
Got so many fucking vices, got to hit the pen first
Just to show you where I'm headed, tell you where I've been first
See these waters run deep, I'm just trying to quench thirst
Hong Kong at fifteen just trying to get heard
No one fucked around harder, no one put in more work
No one fucked around harder, no one put in more work
Nobody working harder than me
Nobody working harder than me
To be that artist to be
See that knowledge I see
Fuck a college degree
I need that heart to be free
You ever seen a human being in the wild?
You ever seen a human being in the wild?
Just to show you where I'm headed, tell you where I've been first
Just to show you where I'm headed, tell you where I've been first
I see a diamond in that mirror, trying to brush off this dirt
I see a diamond in that mirror, trying to brush off this dirt
I see a diamond in that mirror, trying to brush off this dirt
Hey let me free my mind
Hey please let me free my mind
Hey God, please let me free my mind
Just trying to free my mind..
