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
