A Lot To Ask

Oh I been pacing back and forth

For some kind direction

Simple lessons

I need my space for some time

Looking for some balance

It's a challenge

I'ma find beautiful in everything

Some ecstasy divine

So don't wait up on me

I gotta stay fly

Speak my truth

And let it fall out my mind

This won't do

All these vacancies

It seem that something been taking me

I need to find me a place to be

Might leave all that's breaking me

I know it's hard to see the light

Inside the little things

But something's telling me

To take a leap, take a step

Live your life the way you know

Don't forget to take a breath

Trust that everything's gon work

The way it's supposed to

Look up to the sky and wait

Just how we supposed to

There's special in our lives to take

Even if we're miles away

From where we think we ought to be

I know it's safer by the day

Is this a lot to ask?

I just wanna do it my way

Where my people at?

I take that passion then apply things

I don't want the half

Just the entire thing

I ain't gonna bat a single lash

At what they offering

Fuck up off my screen

(Is that a lot to ask?)

I just wanna be me

(Is that a lot to ask?)

And I'd rather just leave

(Yeah and be an outcast)

Rather believe

(In where I'm at, than y'all at)

Paint a perfect picture picture perfect

Bitch I gets to workin'

I'm just tryna live and learn

And kick it, burn, and shift the earth then

If my dog in trouble

Tell the copper that I did the dirt then

I just plead this fifth is workin'

You can kiss the curb then

Bitch I gets it early

It's just work, work, work

And it's death, and it's rent

On the third or first

I'ma spit it how I live it

That's my word, word, word

She a bad bad birdie

I'm a worm, worm, worm

Could you scoop me up?

I ain't ever owned a whip

But I can give and go a bit

Anxiety is so a bitch

I done tried a lotta things

I done tried not watching numbers

And not buying Starbucks

But my life is all fucked

I called it love, lust is what?

What's the word, what's up?

Must've slurred it some

What's the curse I put on my tongue?

Of course I didn't, yall dumb

Y'all forcin' it like I would

I'm warmin' up, it's all good

I'm bored with it as I should be

Never quite as good as I should be

My demeanor lookin' five foot three

And I'm five eleven

And I'm roundin' down

To fit the rhyme, whatever

I'm fuckin' high as ever

Only sorta kinda clever

Find a level to reach

And then jump from

It don't hurt as bad

When it's just one story

I heard yall smacked

Who you get bumps from?

I'll hit y'all back when I hit my floor

Is this a lot to ask?

I just wanna do it my way

Where my people at?

I take that passion then apply things

I don't want the half

Just the entire thing

I ain't gonna bat a single lash

At what they offering

Fuck up off my screen

(Is that a lot to ask?)

I just wanna be me

(Is that a lot to ask?)

And I'd rather just leave

Rather believe
