Observatory

For what it's worth I stay alert
I gotta pay attention
Visuals they showin' hurt they show all types of tension
What a time what a life what a weird dimension
An individual who workin on his own ascension
Everything doesn't warrant your response or a mention
Not a small fry who was only wide eyed
Wondering, why would I decide to abide by
And ride wit a system that too many guys done died by?
The old worlds gotta go so kiss it bye bye
I hate how ns hearing all of sudden selective
I treat this shit like it's a major it's not an elective
We all in the field, we are the collective
Even in bad times, we put in good work
Kind of glad these heathens crawling out the works
Rodents in yo face look for rats and the weasels
Wrote a potent piece art place it on an easel
Zen man and the world is in a frenzy
Real times gon' reveal who ya friends be
Tell the truth that might be the thing that ends me
I don't think that they know they dealing wit Gen-Z
Gotta keep yo fist high tryna keep ya head up
Screaming fuck the feds cause we tired and we fed up
Write it all down that shit help my self esteem
Who do I tell when I'm down and out of steam?

Down and out of steam
Down and out of steam
Down and down and out of steam

Down and out
Down and out of steam
Down and down and out of steam

Talks with father, talks with my mama, fam, and my barber
Talkin' bout feelings and thoughts that we often harbor
We running through long tunnels just tryna funnel it all
Big fish paddles in small puddles and ponds
Protect your bonds (yeah, yeah)
Take care of your temple
Gotta keep things simple
Giving it my best yes that bird left that nest
On the sofa writin' bars sure I could take it far
Stayed home and honed in, making it go crazy
That's a testament to the way that my momma raised me
Battling doubts and battling nerves
See the bigger picture to get the shit you deserve
When them pitches gon' come then pitches come wit a curve yeah (yeah)
Laid witness to Princes, Micheals, and Whitneys
Hope that you right there wit me
Even when it get iffy
We all only flesh and bone
Either way you hear now come up out your comfort zone
