Lyrics Balance - Cantrell

Follow your heart they said
Drop out of school they said
Don't you worry everything will pop soon they said
Follow the rules they said
Buy you some jewels they said
Compromise and all them dreams will come true they said but look
When ya moment's gone what they gonna say about you?
Will that money matter when you see that they forgot about you?
But I got it I promise, make it through for my mama
I mean just look where she got us yeah
Practicing patience they say the the real ones be focused
Shaking and baking whipping cook minus the curry
Know we from Georgia, season all, all on my noodles
I was break dancing windmilling while they was jerking
Always been ahead of the curve go down swinging
If you ain't gonna give it your all then why you playing
Friends'll leave you scratching your head with all the flaking
Swagging and saucing send 'em prayers and post date 'em look
Ain't nothing personal
I'll write your name down give you
Credit for publishing on a verse or 2
That way boy I don't owe you nothing
Can't say that you ever made me, I bruised these knuckles
You wouldn't fight for vision swimming you'd drown in puddles
You couldn't stand the rain am I the one to blame?
Too bad I told my ex the same thing yeah
Luh you but don't need you
You're bad for my health and I'm
Numb to all of the needles that fix it

What is love? What is love?
Peace signs, middle fingers this is, this is us
Through the pain and the trust never lose who you was
Who you is, who you be, what it do what it does, ya ya
I just wanna feel free, I just wanna feel free
I'm just tryna find the balance
Tryna gee this a grip slipping climbing up this ladder

One day I'm like Martin, one day I'm like like Malcolm
One day I'm like talk to 'em, the next I'm like blast 'em
Already on it, they 100 yard dashing
It's bout who can grab it last it and not who the fastest
Who live in a world, where booties be plastic
With Instagram models, reality actors
All for the status yeah, lacking in passion yeah
The gift is below the surface it's deeper than rapping yeah
Brown skin, white skin, dark skin, light skin
Wars on the homeland, are way more frightening
Lately I been on the move, lately I been cuttin' the fool
I can't seem to focus or give a care about what's on the news
I'm feeling shameful vision getting blurry
All I seem to notice shawty she's a cute from every angle
Vices we all got 'em
I'm just tryna break the barrier
Instead of adding to the problem yeah yeah

What is love? What is love?
Peace signs and middle fingers this is, this is us
Through the pain and the trust never lose who you was,
Who you is, who you be, what it do what it does, ya ya
I just wanna feel free, I just wanna feel free
I'm just tryna find the balance
Tryna gee this a grip slipping climbing up this ladder
