lyrics

Get my hair out the way bro

I just want to be happy
I just want to be loved
I just want to want to want to want to want to want to
Tell them that we won
I just want to give back
I just want to be me
I just want to want to rap rap rap
I just want to be free
I just want to spit game
I just want to ride beats
I just want to be honest with you now
I just want to find peace
I just want to be thriving
I just want to be seen
I just want to be present
I just want to be

Put me on a pedestal, you know I rise to the occasion
Looking at the podium I'm noticing
The only spot there is First, and vacant
Ain't no time for lullabies
No sleep I'm spying destinations
Eyes on the prize, I want to die like life was
Living endless vacations
There's always work to do though
I just want to love what it is
I just want to help love the kids
I just want to help love exist
Prioritize my time with loved ones higher on the list
I Been doin it all my life, I don't quite know what it is
(scratch that)
I got it from my mama
She epitomize the gift
But maybe it's a curse,
You'd know it if you seen the way we live
Different to the naked eye
Way too similar when you squint
Always in the way of what we really want to want to want to want to get

I just want to be happy
I just want to be loved
I just want to want to want to want to want to want to
Tell them that we won
I just want to give back
I just want to be me
I just want to want to rap rap rap
I just want to be free
I just want to spit game
I just want to ride beats
I just want to be honest with you now
I just want to find peace
I just want to be thriving
I just want to be seen
I just want to be present
I just want to be

Trying to control what can
And expand my confort zone
I feel growth when I navigate spaces
That I find most uncomfortable
I don't like to talk to y'all if we honest
But I want to though
I don't want to be going out on a Friday
Getting drunk on Rum and Cokes alone
It's hard to get past fears that I have
Pen and my pad may be a crutch
I keep talking on beats I be popping
In person though I don't be saying too much
Do not approach me if you be hoping
I'm easy to open and ready to fix
I'm not a project or real estate property
Ready for paint or your renovations
Freah coat of paint, new marble floors
I don't think I can afford a new mortgage
Not interested in a property loan
The investment you made is a loss of your fortune
You want a piece of pie, I'm in or I'm out
I don't serve soul by the portion
Tell me you want me and leave me alone
'Till you want me to fuck is a form of extortion

I just want to be happy
I just want to be loved
I just want to want to want to want to want to want to
Tell them that we won
I just want to give back
I just want to be me me
I just want to want to rap rap rap
I just want to be free
I just want to spit game
I just want to ride beats
I just want to be honest with you now
I just want to find peace
I just want to be thriving
I just want to be seen
I just want to be present
I just want to be
