Thoughts&Prayers/Family&Friends

(Time passes and I never sleep)
Let's go
Blessings to my mommanem, prayers for my cousins up
Lotta people hating on my family cause I'm coming up
That's just what I'm in it for, already got it covered up
Questioning my actions, looking for strength and more love in us
Necklace for my girl, nigga, bow tie with some pearls too
Of course I gotta treat her right, I wouldn't deserve her if I just didn't
It's the kind of life, kind of life I wanna live
The one that's quiet, men and women alike don't know what it is
I ain't tryna force it, ain't ever gon' rush nothing
Money from my music like a plus one
Listen, I need dumb sums, no more drama for me
Ain't no more problems with old folk, I found me a key
I can see the hate in my peers eyes
Asking me for help like a spare tire
But they was ones that don't wanna FaceTime
When my father was sick, they didn't reach out
I'm tryna be what he could not, I hope I'm what he think about
I just want... whenever I'm crossing her mind
I want the kind of love that don't need words, just talking in signs
I want the kind of bond that don't feel like a thorn on my neck
Maybe a lot on my chest, who knows, I'm trying my best
I want the kind of peace that I feel when I'm kneeling to pray
I want the happiness my sisters had on the 28th
I want the kind of rest that Grandma had a few months ago
And I'll do anything to be a better man, it's my goal

Time passes, and I never sleep
They never learn their lesson, it's bout time I gotta teach
Folks'll get attacked trying to laugh and make jokes outta me
Folks'll get attached to that one girl that said she proud of me
No, ThaMonster's back, I never left, now I'm just hard to beat
Hard to find, in secret locations you can't reach
I'm out of time, out of touch, with your reality
I'm still waiting in line, to find out what my fate'll be
Brothers behind my back, forget a caption, we never beefed
Since '08, we done grew together like sets of trees
It's never been an act, none of this has been make believe
"Blood is thicker than water"? Hate that saying, I can't agree
If I raise me a daughter, pray for her 'fore she go to sleep
My brother like her uncle, planned this out, it's meant to be
Teach her to keep her head high, don't let a man take your heart
I'll drop this man dead, so don't let him make you fall apart
Remember what I said
Where did all that time go?
I'm asking you but I know only God knows
Way too precious to be seen
She's living in her mother's womb
She's living where my heart goes
I know I love her, she knows I love all the depths of her soul
Please protect her from the things we seen as kids, some troubled toddlers
Keep the cigs, matter fact, keep the Sig on top of that white counter
Keep the kids safe, keep the Bens clean for His sake
What your friends say? It's your choice at the end of this day
Now let your friends know
Where did all the time go?
I'm asking you but I know only God knows
I can't connect, I'm on a different time zone
Always distant, don't know how to speak normally
Rapping was meant to be, I was never made to speak formally
Not made for their conformity, never respect authority
Bishop said for me, music has been my priority
One day I'll fly overseas, I'm tired of seeing the same people
I got comfortable in my misery, guess it's all I need, huh
