Lyrics Like This - Paradox

No pain no gain
Ain′t that the truth
I've made mistakes
And paid my dues
I′ve loved and lost
You've done it too
Dedicate this song
To the burnt and bruised

Mental institution

Blunt smoking and liquor sipping
Mixed with the medication

Stay joking tryna hide the tension
Not knowing where it came from

Passed down through generations

Every genius had a couple demons
Even god dealt with Satan

Phone full of half baked thoughts
One of these oughta be a really great song
Though who knows how long it'll take
Rome wasn′t built in a day touche (Ole)

En garde, they don′t see the work
Perspiration blood tears and dirt
Pavement chasing then back to basics
I'm cycle breaking till the wheels won′t turn

Wheels gon' burn, let em fall off
All things end can′t mend what ya lost
One good friend over ten yes men
Stay A1 I can smell fake sauce

Don't tote guns got puns and punchlines
I bring that umf packed tight like a thumb drive
Y′all wanna talk real shit? I'm hands on
The gauntlet's thrown Thanos it′s go time

I′m on my shit, fell off for a bit
Mark my words I'ma go the distance
No wrong turns gonna make me exit

Mind racing but I learned to listen
To the Vibrations in the seat I′m sitting
On the bus while I bust my ass to write different
The worlds my song I'm an instrument

Like this
My Bliss

This is why I′m up late
This is why I wake up
This is why I'm okay
This is why I go nuts, writing page after page
Spilling guts after guts
Filled with happiness and pain
I′ll let y'all be the judge

Mental institution

Self loathing and getting distant from
Close friends and loved ones

Losing focus and ambition
When short is how I come up

Passed down through generations

Every genius had a rookie season
Even god had a day one

Don't keep stones in my glass house
But I close my blinds when I back out
Last thing i need is a ghost from the past
Tryna crash on my new couch

Back routes from my bat cave leaves all my foes confused now
Swear to god that I gave up cause I move quick and don′t use sound

That was all just a ruse, been putting in work, wearing out shoes
No human on earth′s gonna kill my muse
Dive head first from a birds eye view

Before that could happen fatally attracted
Not just the pain from my past that I rap with

Life is a symphony, possessing me, deep on a beat like I'm speaking backwards

I′m on my shit, fell off for a bit
Mark my words I'ma go the distance
No wrong turns gonna make me exit

Mind racing but I learned to listen
To the Vibrations in the seat I′m sitting
On the bus while I bust my ass to write different
The worlds my song I'm an instrument

Like this
My Bliss

This is why I′m up late
This is why I wake up
This is why I'm okay
This is why I go nuts, writing page after page
Spilling guts after guts
Filled with happiness and pain
I'll let y′all be the judge
