I remember a story
Two fools are in the hospital waiting for a kidney transplant
But only one kidney is available
So the two play a game
They each put a playing card in the other's pocket
Whoever guesses the card in their own pocket wins
You know I can I see your card?
I would like to think so too
8am, I'm back in that place
A rush of all black scrambling in the rat race
I'm in that stage, go get that pay
Swarming to exchange our time for a bit of paper
That we need to function
But I'm thinking like I'm rich I wanna level up the budget
But my funds thin, need to pick up more shifts
Like Tyson in the first round we all tryna get to punch in
Hit em w the 1-2, slip the others, yuh
And just know I'm one to get to hustling, uh
And I do not want to eat the dust of other peeps
I won too much, yeah I'm stubborn
Hit a brick wall with my brand
I need to turn it round I need torque in my back
Just talking and chat, I ought to get back cuz
I don't wanna get caught in the trap
Mad at myself that I have been lacking lately
Guilt is building up from all my standards lately
I am either shrugging or I fucking hate me
And I know this feeling will not really aid me
Will I delay all my joy until I make it?
I ain't got the answers, I feel like Sway, shit
Nothing on my plate but feeling inundated
All your problems will get smaller once they dated
Used to feel bad that I dated no one
Now don't give a fuck about what they think
And my game sick, never chasing
Nah, lately I been focused on the paper
Like an old man sitting at the table
And I know death could be any day, shit
So I just wanna get out of stasis
And build myself out of this dayshift
Chaos, disarray
Weigh on this kid brain
Prayers get arranged
If stay and stick with aims
And I finally was able to leave all this grey shit
And now I can find a little more joy in my day shit
Yeah, realised I hated my old self
And from there I wanted to distance
But even though cringing
I'm still the same person with a little more wisdom
And perspective
And if I wouldn't spite another person's past version
Why do it to myself? Shit
No longer mad at myself that I have been lacking lately
Feeling good about building up all my standards lately
Now don't give a fuck, only embrace me
And I know this feeling will only aid me
Fuck delaying all my joy, bro I make it
Standing firm with mantras, I will not sway, shit
Taking on a fuller plate, I'm feeling grateful
All my problems not smaller, but I can take it
