Birdbrain

I've been blessed with a birdbrain

Thoughts running wild how I keep it together's insane

Mind in the gutter I can't filter out this drain

And it ain't like I ain't seen no rain

No it ain't about no shame

I gotta face it, I gotta embrace it or else I got nothing to gain

Cus it ain't about how you fall it's how you get back up

And it ain't an easy climb you better call for backup

The people you surround are here to hold your back up

And if they ain't then I don't need em better back the fuck up

Cus I ain't got time for slackers

I can't be about mine if I'm also about hers

So let me sit here and collect my words

Cus otherwise it's to the birds

Wait how did I get back on birds?

Sometimes this shit got me feeling absurd

I can't find this and I can't find that

I really can't stand when I can't stay on track

And my mind stays running all day on that track

Maybe I should put all my thoughts on a track

And see if I can make this money stack

Cus my words don't always convey my thoughts

Sometimes I stutter

My words often flutter but on paper my words talk

I swear they start to walk

They don't need to run cus I got time to perfect em

They don't need to consume me cus I'm not gonna neglect em

I put my thoughts on paper cus I'm tryna reflect em

Trust me when I say that I really respect em

Cus it's this exact same bird brain that flew me out of this place

This exact same brain feels like it's running out of space

It feels like it's been running at a different kind of pace

Maybe it's because I'm back in this place

Where I'm running out of space

And I feel out of place

What a slap in the face

But I'm not filled with disgrace

In my heart I hold grace

In my mouth I wear a brace

I need to remember this isn't a race it's a learning lesson

School of hard knocks I took night classes

School of psychology I took day classes

And ain't nobody give me no hall passes

Can't nobody see through my glasses

I'm not like the rest of the masses

I surpass it

I'm passed it and I ain't even google map it

I sought it out myself

And I'm still figuring out how to define myself

Because defining yourself is defining your wealth

So don't be full of yourself or you'll lose your wealth

See it's all a matter of stealth

Walking light I'm about to take flight

I'm not done I still got a lot more fight

I'm not done this shit still don't feel right

I'm not done there's still a lot more in sight
