Yeah
I guess it's about that time
You Know?
Dakari, just let it run
Uh
Party in a penthouse until I pass the **** out
Reminiscing being broke and hoping I would luck out
Fast forward, that was then, I switched my perspective
I was supposed to make it here, this wasn't luck, it was destined
Why the **** am I surprised? Will I ever feel I belong here?
Splitting my soul right now, the story gets long here
Waiting for this album to drop, it's been a long year
I feel like it's been forever, the **** has been going on here?
Sex + drugs + rock 'n roll added
That equation mixеd with success and raw talent
They talk about mе, think I went crazy, goddamnit
I really went crazy, goddamnit
Pull the curtain, there's nothing left here to hide behind
I come with baggage, I'm complicated, you know my sign
Try factoring in what happens inside my mind
Intoxicated on substances I've been trying to find
Reason to change, I found reason to rage
Play Jim Morrison, **** it, people are strange
Deal with it, on God, there's no keeping me in a cage
They tried to buy my soul, but it's not an even exchange
I just had an epiphany, I'm top ten in this industry
If you knew the end result, then what would you have done differently?
My Jekyll and my Hyde look like anything of a symmetry
But I ain't looking for nobody's sympathy
This is for the kids who buy tickets
This is for the fans of the music
This is for the kids who get some inspiration from me and use it
It's for myself, because after all this is therapeutic
But I never lost myself, so don't you ever confuse it
Reading comments on my 'Gram, I'm like "damn, they really got me"
"What happened to the old G? This sucks! Won't you come back, G?
"You said you'd never be that rapper, this shit is tacky"
I make what I wanna make, but I won't make everyone happy
My skin's fake, but I'm not, bulletproof
Try to numb myself like when you goin' to pull a tooth
All I can be is myself, go and tell the truth
I feel like I want my therapist when I'm in the booth
Listen
I'm in my own lane, so what do I have to hurry for?
The Bay Area root for me like when Curry score
I got it covered, relax, you ain't gotta worry more
I turn the corner, I'm in the block now, broken down 30's door
My exes x me out, we ain't feeling the same
One of 'em went on national TV dragging my name
Wish you would have handled it - eh
I can't complain, because you don't get to choose how people react to being in pain
Yeah, ****
Lesson learned, we weren't the perfect match
Future ref, not keeping personal and work attached
We came a ways from going to juvie over purses snatched
Bought moms a Birkin, we still only seen the surface scratched
Wow
Been tryna search and find the perfect high
A young stoner from Berkeley High
The person I, became is a little different
Guess we work and try
She kicked me out to get the bird to fly, yeah
This the maturation of Gerry, yeah
Been terrified of commitment, can't understand why it's scary
The deeper that I get, this shit gets harder to say
Why the ones who love me most, the people I push away?
Why the ones who love me most, the people I push away?
Why the ones who love me most, the people I push away?
Yeah
Look in a mirror, this is you
No one ever told me, These Things Happen Too
****
Yeah
