The Storm

So far from perfect
Trynna outrun my demons and so far it’s working
But how come every time I get close to real peace it’s like the scars on the
inside of my soul start to surface?
And it’s charcoal skies on these dark cold nights
In the last twelve months I had my heart broke twice
Yeah, living wrong but it seemed so right
For way too long I put my dreams on ice
So I did eight new songs in the last five days
Trynna recognize the blessings when they pass my way
All the goals I’ve saved, but I’m finished playing defense
I went off the deep end trynna make my waves
Yeah, I was having visions like Raven I would live this life way before I knew
it to be true
That’s so crazy now it’s in my eyes vivid, what a beautiful view
But what’s given can be taken
So I spend my time praying
Be cautious of the context you mention my name in
I am not playing
The family on my mind when I’m penning my pages
Women pressing my line it be testing my patience
I’m just setting my pace, built the foundation
The funny thing is all these moves are groundbreaking
The steps that I’m taking, the money I’m making
The dogs get fifteen percent like a down payment
It’s like someone hit the lights and my whole life
Switched
How convenient you miss me at a time like this?
I’ve been minding my business, keeping my distance
I’d like to say I don’t want you I’d be lying if I did
But, you’re a grown woman
And you get it from your momma like some home cooking
I cannot control you, even if I could I wouldn’t
Got me howling at the moon like a lone wolf
I’m obsessed with my potential
Can’t relate to people so I speak on instrumentals
It’s like a notebook and a pencil are my only essentials
My mind is my shrine and my body my temple
There’s a storm on the horizon
Warm waters rising
War cries blowing in the wind
Through the lows and the highs
One thing I know is that everybody dies in the end
Now I wonder what you feel when you see my face
Wonder what you think when you hear my name
Some things never change, but some things do
Watch it fall apart I’ll still enjoy my view, it’s true
