Cantrell - Balance

Текст песни

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 you-
But I got it promise, make it through for my mama, I mean just look where she
got us-
Practicing patience they say the real ones be focused-
Shaking a baking whipping cook minus the curry-
Know we from Georgia, season all, all on my noodles-
I was breakdancing windmilling while they was jerkin-
Always been ahead of the curve go down swinging-
If you ain’t gonna give it ya all then why you playing-
Friends’ll leave you scratching ya head with all the flaking-
Swagging and saucing send em prayers and post date em-
Ain’t nun personal… I’ll write ya name down give you credit for publishing on
a verse or 2-
That way boy I don’t owe 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 shit I told my ex the same thing-
… Luh you but I don’t need you
You’re bad for my health and I’m numb to all of the needles that fix it-
Hook
What is love? What is love?
Peace signs and middle fingers this us, 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 get a grip slipping climbing up this ladder
One day I’m like Martin, one day I’m like Malcolm-
One day I’m like talk to em, the next I’m blast em-
Already on it, they 100 yard dashing- It’s bout who can grab it last it and not
who the fastest-
We live in a world, Where booties be plastic-
With Instagram models, reality actors-
All for the status, lacking in passion-
The gift is below the surface it’s deeper than rapping-
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 worry 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-
Hook
What is love? What is love?
Peace signs and middle fingers this us, 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 get a grip slipping climbing up this ladder
