TINTED

Do you even see me now?
Finally off the ground
Do you even hear me now?
High in the clouds by now
Do you even feel me now?
Up here no snakes allowed
Do you wanna be me now?
Don't try to keep me down

It's the bloodsucking motherfuckers taking all my energy
Leaving y'all behind, yeah you ain't been no friend to me
We took it to a new level, never back-peddling
Vibing on another plateau, y'all busy settling
Don't need that rearview mirror
Box truck mindset
I don't look back
I don't chit chat
Bitches talking that shit
I don't play that
I just stay back
Haters are closer than they appearing
Talking that smack but I'm never gone hear it
None of it facts and it ain't that serious
All theatrics, smoke in mirrors
Don't run ya mouth and then say you were playing
Keep it 100 that's all that I'm saying
Childish games but I'm never partaking
Up in the clouds that's where I'm staying
Where I reside, different dimension
You do the most for a little attention
I got a past, shit I won't mention
Who do you love? Is that even a question?

Losing control
Losing my mind, things don't get better with time
Though I got better with pain
Faking "I'm fines"
Lately repeating goodbyes
And words don't really hurt me and my pride
That's what I say to rest better at night
Got awfully sick
Many I miss, can't look at the size of the list
I don't like repping my city
That place was a bubble with people so shitty
It had all of the fakes, losers catching a case
And the principal lame, only good for the rich and the pretty
Yeah, cardinal gold, so drippy
Know you done peaked what a pity
This only two of my pennies
You either go leave or come with me
Cooking in the kitchen everyday
Hit 'em with the heat and they gon' break
Eat the haters up, piece of cake
Growing bigger time to celebrate
Nobody on the charts look like me
Write like me, act like me, be like me
I'll change the scene
I'm proud to be everything I am and more so what I can be
So finally
It's been 4 years here's my betterment
You left—that's embarrassing
I learned and I got up, now who's still on chasing better days?
Good grief, pass me Minute Maid
Wait Lucy I need my lemonade
I put my 100%, couldn't give me less
And you still wondering how I changed
Fell in love with the thought of what could be
Hurts to know you went on to replace me
Don't act so tough, still have the receipts
For when I be doubting, just gotta reread
Little Kaam, I hope we meet
Look at you, oh what a feat
Wish I told you long ago
You're not a want but a need

Echo through the atmosphere
In a different stratosphere
Sending y'all a postcard
"Really wish that you were here"
Really wish that you were us
Really wish I gave a fuck
In the sky flying high
Bitch we on the up and up
Shit that I'm on, different vibration
Got no respect, y'all be lacking in patience
Subbing out growth for remaining complacent
Can't hold a convo, lost in translation
Top of my class when I graduate
She fell in love with my day to day
I cannot blame her, baby we major
Flowing real dumb on the 808s
Serving it hot with attitude
Looking real good yeah I love the view
Sending her my latitude
My longitude, she in the mood
If she down to ride, then I'm down to slide
Eating up that cherry pie
Baby I'm yours, just for the night
Beat it up, then I say goodbye
