Greetings greetings all

I′m watching England right now so I wanna say ello governor

My mama told me not to cuss on this song so I shall not say one cursed word on thisAnd we just gone get straight to it don't want to waste any time on this one

Yeah

An Ethiopian told me being mediocre is not appropriate for a African king

Girl you right girl you can be my African Queen

And we can raise some babies that are blacker than we

Blacker than me

Move em to Georgia so they black as the sea

And I know you that you a angel I see you flappin′ yo wings

African beauty is amusing to stare upon

Make me wanna go to the motherland like Farrakhan

Speaking of African queens, My old friend Karen Ngigi is so pretty

I met her in Photography class back in 10th grade

Back when I would brush the Murray's thru my hair to get waves

That same class is where I found my best friend yeah my best man

If I do get married

To be honest that shit is slick scary

But if she gorgeous might shoot my shot like I'm Rick Barry, Brent Barry

My past situationships, remind me of when a temp agency had me flipping Pizzas in the Summer

Making dough barely

Cuz like that summer job its like these girls cuz both of them are so temporary

Summer ended, Kudos I quit my job

My boss turned to Cujo but its straight cuz that′s my dog

It′s straight I know how it is, if you ain't helping the business you destroying the Shh

Destroying it

Like me destroying my inner temple

Mind movin′ chaotically when I'm sipping distilled liquor

My mind and soul is full of negative energy

I′d rather suffer alone I have impeccable dignity

Kinetic energy connecting the sympathy from my alter ego but I cannot show myself empathy

On the brink of the

On the brink of 2021, I almost died

December 27th it could've all been over

Since that day I have not been sober

No exaggeration

No exaggeration

You see

I was battling depression, on a trip to Houston, Texas that mess turned into aggression

To my bro′s I'm sorry y'all know that′s not who I am

I don′t eat jelly but my mind was just in a jam

I Lost a lot of songs on the strip of Galveston

All my songs on a red iPhone XR is where I was housing them

That's just God way of telling me those songs suck I can improve anyway

My favorite color blue anyway

I mean, forget that phone

My favorite color blue I don′t need a red phone

I just take that as a sign from God you know

Oh yeah

I knew a Buddhist who grew up Jewish i went to school with him

He told me he found buddha, in Jerusalem

I mean that's a crazy story right

I mean in Jerusalem, okay

We were young we didn′t know who Gautama was

He told me life is just a present God gave to us

Yeah and I took heed to what he told me

He said until you know God then you will never know peace

He tried to explain to me the four noble truths

We suffer to live and live to suffer

I don't know if that′s what he said, but that's what I got from it

I guess I just need to be more educated

Speaking of religion and education

What's the difference between taliban and crusaders

They both went to war for God′s favor

Al-qaeda all went to war with god′s neighbors

Imma stay out of that shh, but you know I'm sayin′

Imma rock and roll just Clive Davis, hall of famer

Clive is a music uhhhh you know what I'm not gonna explain that bar

You know what, google that

And when you google things make sure you google facts

Haters trynna tell me where I′m going like they google maps

Like they be saying you ain't gone reach yo goals and you ain′t gone never be nothing

Or never be anything my pops big on grammar

But who they think is they think they google maps or something

They think google maps or something

Now see imma get where I'm going even if I get there slow boy

Like I know you seen a toad cross the road boy

Imma tell you a metaphor holdup

On a mile fitness test I nearly the sprinted the first lap

I couldn't finish the mile because I was too gassed

Ran it again the next day, I slowed it down

The goal wasn′t to sprint sixty yards is was to run a mile

I tell you all of that to say

Sometimes to reach your goals you need a slow consistent pace

It′s not a race

I have a friend she a flight attendant

I might be a feminist cuz I am so nice to women

I can be a spark when you notice that yo lights are dimming

I can be a chef I made wifey dinner

Nothing special but I can whip up that yellow rice and chicken

Or we can head out and I can buy you dinner

I can buy you dinner

Free time together is important I can't buy attention

In 4th grade I never payed attention

Got detention, got suspended all thanks to Brittney

I thank Ms. Monroe she was my greatest enemy

Sent me to Mr. Langford he made me change my image

Thank Mr. Langford cuz he saw it in me.

Should be eating Mac and cheese and turkey with all this thanks I′m giving

Goofy and nice, how you gone beef with Kabiya

If I get crossed, turn to a wasp, I got to sting ya

My pure soul couldn't get no cleaner

I come in peace like the middle and index finger

The other day my home girl asked me what type of artist I want to be

I′m really not sure but I know

I wanna be Highly accessible

Highly professional.

Lyrics to be highly digestible

Highkey confessionals

I spit ish that will higher cholesterol

Widened ya eyelids

These truths are flyer than pilots

I was provided with sleepless nights

And sunny days

But I can always free my mind when I'm down by the lake

Down by the lake

Down by the lake

Down by the lake

Down down down by the lake
