You ain't no leader
You ain't no leader
Boy what the fuck is wrong?
You ain't no leader
You ain't no leader
You ain't no leader, boy what the fuck is wrong?
You ain't no leader
Please don't take this personal, I speak the truth, and lie to most
Mostly to myself, when I feel the roots start to grow
Corroded in my lungs
Coated in my blood
Rebel against the system like the homie born punk
Wanna be a monk, wanna feel at peace It's a war within your body, you a soldier, be at ease
Walk with a chip on my shoulder, I'm sorry, no trust
People beyond their surface, stay having no love, all lust, no fucks
Always keep my vice in my pocket, untuck, keep it in my cup
Boys in the hood, I reflect a TV screen
Trauma to a child's mind, adult's nightmare full of grief
Closing the next chapter, ending with no means
The friends I lost to the streets
Self I lost to the filth
Taking just a minute, the cards that are dealt
Recognize the light when you deep within your hell
The burden that you felt, the angels not around
Demons dust you off and gave you kisses when you fell
But who am I to pronounce?
Ain't no standing ground
When they close my grandma's casket I dwelled within the sound, slipping from my crown
You ain't no leader
You ain't no leader
Boy what the fuck is wrong?
You ain't no leader
You ain't no leader
You ain't no leader, boy what the fuck is wrong?
You ain't no leader
But here I am, I'm back again, the twister whispered In the wind
The common age of growing up, the common pain, that craves the sin
Can't pick up the phone, unless it's to write a verse
I'd rather talk to myself than converse, that shit hurt
Learning curve, hypocrite, just like the fucking church
Keep to myself and your boy about to burst
Erupt, corrupt, messes lost within a wicked search
My addictions begin to flirt, I confess, I'm immersed
Maybe we fucking stumble, maybe we lose ourselves
The halo above your head broke, and the light begin to melt
Trauma within your veins, so all you know is to yell
The scars that got stamped, and the evil that provoke
But always think before you speak, and always keep some hope.
