Take me home
(How?)
Take me, take me, take me, take me
(I said)
Take me home, home
(I said)
Take me, take me
What is home
When you're miles away
From the land that you played on
As a lil kid?
(Where is home, home, home?)
Where is home
When you're miles away from
The land you came from?
(came from)
The land you came from?
Yeah, hey...
Mmm, mmmmmm-ooh-ooh
Take me home, take me home
I always felt that I had a special destiny
And there were times where I'd go outside in the nighttime
And look up at the stars
And I'd say yes, I've been chosen
It was very dramatic, I mean I just knew I was gonna do something in my life

SECOND CHANCES
03:11
|

It's not the same thing
Going back and forth, like pacing
There's no fucking point in racing
Cuz what is for me will come in the end
Second chances
Countin' all em up, it's taxing
But I have learned that to relax is
To release all that's all out my control
Maybe I should wait
Or I could just go
Should I take a break?
I don't even know
It's a passing fad?
Maybe something more
I don't even, I don't even know
I don't even know
Second chances
I've already gone that way
Self enchantment
I'm already in the phase
No more antics
I ain't the one for the chase
Cuz it's not the same way or thing, yeah
Cuz it's not the same way or thing, yeah
(What eye leave behind has a life of its own
I've said this about poetry, I've said it about children
Well, in a sense, I'm saying it about the very artifact of who eye have been)
Maybe I should wait
Or I could just go
Should I take a break?
I don't even know
It's a passing fad?
Maybe something more
I don't even, I don't even know
I don't even know

I ain't one to compete
Just ride in my lane
Switch up my flow,
I ain't never scared to change
Remember before,
I was nervous night and day
Freaking out, worried, and second guessing my own strength
Stressed about the things that don't even fucking matter
Overthinking, questioning, stuck in old patterns
Should've done this Oh, I should've done better
But now I recognize and I got my shit together
So I can't beat myself up for the last time
No use in looking back, and hitting rewind
Best believe I can't be wasting no time
And I'll be goddamned if I waste another rhyme
Best believe I, best be-, best believe I (yeah yeah) (Best believe I)
Best believe I, best be-, best believe I (Best believe I)
Best believe I, best be-, best believe I, yeah
Best believe I, best believe I, best believe I
Best believe I, best believe I, best believe I
Best believe I, best believe I, best believe I
(Ya) Fucked up my mood?
Fuck out my face!
I'm not the one to hold the blame
I don't adhere to foolish games
Watch me hit reply, and send a fade (fade)
Get out my room!
Get out my space!
I'm not the one you want to play
See I don't adhere to foolish games
See honey? No, I am not afraid
I've always been this way
As I'm shedding, I'm learning
Growing and burning
Actively floating
Out of the matrix,
No-more-participating, yeah
Best believe I, best be-, best believe I (Be-best believe, yes)
Best believe I, best be-, best believe I (yes, I'm 1 of 1 indeed, yes)
Best believe I, best be-, best believe I (And you don't wanna cross or test me)
Best believe, yes (Me and my people? Yeah we blessed, yes! yes!)
Best believe I, best be-, best believe I (Be-best believe, yes)
Best believe I, best be-, best believe I (yes, I'm 1 of 1 indeed, yes)
Best believe I, best be-, best believe I (And you don't wanna cross or test me)
Best believe, yes (Me and my people? Yeah we blessed, yes! yes!)
(Ooh, ooh, ahhh)

You said you wouldn’t play games like the other niggas
Yet you ain’t open to the bigger picture
I know trauma might be eating you inside
But I ain’t the one! to take out on
And sometimes I wondered if you even trust me
When I said “wait a second, just breathe”
Why were you pressed
When I just needed space?
Need the space…
You said you wouldn’t be like this
But now I hear ya talking yo shit
You quick to run up on a new — ah!
(Wait!)
I’m not gonna call those girls yo’ bitches
But honestly, yeah I could lowkey see
That you baby, had low low self esteem
With all the drama that you gave me
Almost had me feeling crazy
Crazy…crazy…
Baby…baby…
Crazy…crazy…
x2
(Yeah, yeah… interlude
You pried
I swear I didn’t wanna fight
(Yet you tried)
To overstep and justify
I didn’t like it, shawty was wildin’
(wildin’…)
To be fair
I know she said she really cared
But how dare, she raise her voice or try to compare me?
To the ones before? Please.
You said you wouldn’t be like this
But now I hear ya talking yo shit

With all the drama that you gave me
You almost had me feeling crazy

These days my mind's on a vacation
I'd rather smoke than entertain the
Naysayers and their allegations, cuz-
(They don't know nuthin' bout me!

Ain't keen on petty conversation
Passive aggressiveness is dangerous
Lemme sit back and roll my jay up, cuz

For someone else's lovin'!
(Else's lovin')
I'm no longer second guessing
What is for me!
(What is for me)
So best to come correct
Or get to stepping from me
(Or get to stepping from me)
You can't be stepping to me!
(You can't be stepping to me!)
(I just wonder)
I just wonder, did any of em
Hear me when I said that I'm stuck?
And sick and tired of being tired

But can I be soft?
(Can I be soft)

I'm no longer hiding
Certainly, in love with the
Imperfectly divine, I
(I)
Will not be persuaded,
Pushed or motivated
To go against or overstep
(Go against, overstep)
Girl, you know you ain't right
(You know you ain't right)
Must I remind?
Remind? I said I wasn't gonna go
I said I wasn't gonna go back next time
Back next time, yeah
(Yeah)
And you don't! get another chance
To spend up all of my patience, hell nah.

(Page!)
You claim I'm to blame
(To blame)
Started off so happy
(Woo-ooh)
But one day everything changed
(Things changed!)
I craved and chose ease
You laughed and sucked your teeth
Either way I'm not the one
To second guess my needs
I am saving all my
Love, compassion
Watch me call it back to me!
(Back to me!)
You can't keep!
(You can't keep!)
No more of this loving
(No more of this loving)
You don't deserve me, hey

I close my eyes, pictured for a second
Wasn't long ago that I was second guessing
Had a choice, had to work for better things
Hustled hard, ended up with a degree
Now I open my eyes, and I see all the blessings
My dreams multiply, with every learned lesson
But I gotta be careful, the devil keep testing
Oh I gotta be careful, he know I'm relentless
Ya, ya
No longer tripping
No longer bugging, yeah
Ya, ya
Don't second guess it
Recognize yo blessings, yeah
Lately I'm not feeling crazy
I'm not fucking lazy
I'm not wasting no time
Lately I'm not feeling crazy
I'm not fucking lazy
I'm just taking my time
So I recognize that I got (all the power)
If I bitch or whine, (that don't mean I'm a coward)
Its alright, it's okay there gon be days
When I struggle to, power thru the pain
Born on the westside, so I'm forever high (the westside, so I'm forever high)
I can't even deny, sometimes it's hard to cry
But I gotta (be careful, the devil keep testing)
Oh I gotta (be careful, he know that I'm relentless, yeah)
Ya, ya
No longer tripping
No longer bugging, yeah
Ya, ya
Don't second guess it
Recognize yo blessings, yeah
Lately I'm not feeling crazy
I'm not fucking lazy
I'm not wasting no time
Lately I'm not feeling crazy
I'm not fucking lazy
I'm just taking my time
Lately I'm not feeling crazy
I'm not fucking lazy
I'm not wasting no time
Lately I'm not feeling crazy
I'm not fucking lazy
I'm just taking my time
Aye, ah, aye, ah, aye-ah
Aye, ah, aye, ah, aye-ah
Aye, ah, aye, ah, aye-ah-aye
