Made Up

Okay, rise and shine
Class is back in session
Let me bring you up to speed
I get it’s easy to forget
What you come here for?
Who you came here with?
The snake sheds their skin
When they’re done with it
And, people be mad
When you strike a nerve
I made it last second
On the sharpest curve
I’ve swerved ill intentions
That I overheard
Talking nonsense
Lik I got something to learn
What a casualty
That I learnd to read
Between the smile lines
And had the nerve to leave
While they speak beneath their breath
And flex like Hercules
It ain’t none of my business how they feel about me
I spent too much time trying to be a mind reader
Now I got time cuz my mind got freed up
It’s the lead up to something in the making
I’m taking back my stage and workin' to elevate it
It takes a giant to see what I’m afraid of
I built a wall with the things I’m ashamed of
Afterthoughts and other things that I made up
I guess it comes with being creative
It takes a giant to see what I’m afraid of
I built a wall with the things I’m ashamed of
Sad plots and other things that I made up
Okay, just for kicks
I took a bit to go within
I’m a rookie looking at a new way to live
I keep on pushing through with a view that I’m happy with
This is all new so I’m out here pulling magic tricks
It’s a pandemic
I’m burning both sides of the candle
And it gets a little hectic
I can’t forfeit or be reckless
I ain’t trying to «wait here»
Like I’m stuck out in the entrance
Push it
Push it
Til I get some momentum
With a vibe that I like
I wanna enjoy the fun so I’m riding it
It’s all gratitude
RISE UP
With a whole new attitude
It ain’t the end all
I can’t pretend ya’ll
I’m feeling pent up like I’m in a crescendo
Yeah — I like to wonder
But I’m done with innuendos
I’m looking to ascend and I’m my biggest contender!
AGGGGHHHHHH!
It takes a giant to see what I’m afraid of
I built a wall with the things I’m ashamed of
Afterthoughts and other things that I made up
I guess it comes with being creative
It takes a giant to see what I’m afraid of
I built a wall with the things I’m ashamed of
Sad plots and other things that I made up
It takes a giant to see what I’m afraid of
I build a wall with the things I’m ashamed of
Soft spots and other things that I made up
I guess it comes with being creative
It takes a giant to see what I’m afraid of
I built a wall with the things I’m ashamed of
Cheap shots and other things that I made up…
