Can I get on my grown shit?
All I got is this moment
All I got can be gone quick
And it’s been slipping my mind
Settled off the pedestal
Never said I was special
Nestled in my vessel
Digested the disrespectful
I’ve had to wrestle with sin on a different level
Now I’m either blessed or I guess the devil’s forgetful
Catch a net-full if I’m buggin’- I’m suddenly
Open-eyed again
I know you’re hoping not again
Why would you even try to win?
What the hell’s the weather?
You never gon’ be as hot as him
I’m vibin’ like I’m headed to Heaven to have a Heineken, Hey
Feels like this is my day
Feels like it’s a nice pain
So don’t get in my way
Hey
Can you hear the whispers I pray?
The world will wish that I’d stay
But don’t get in my way
When I get on my grown shit
All I got is this moment
All I got can be gone quick
And it’s been slipping my mind
Can I get on my own shit?
All I got is this moment
All I got can be gone quick
And it’s been slipping my mind
Given time but it isn’t mine
Subject to insanity, victimless vigilante
Still don’t understand me, I’ll keep it just in the family
Give the kids some candy, to slip in your misses panties
Hit the nanny in the kitchen
I’m itching to get a Grammy
It’s profanity evoking, I’m open for conversation
But my flow’s a combination of cadence and mind-erasin’
Wasted, woke up out the basement, I couldn’t provide a statement
Hit the paper with the pen, when I read it to my amazement, said
Hey
Feels like this is my day
Feels like it’s a nice pain
So don’t get in my way
Hey
Can you hear the whispers I pray?
The world will wish that I’d stay
But don’t get in my way
Can I get on my grown shit?
All I got is this moment
All I got can be gone quick
And it’s been slipping my mind
Can I spit on my soul shit?
All I got can be gone quick
And all I got is this moment
And it’s been slipping my mind
Given time but it isn’t mine
Given time but it isn’t mine
Given time but it isn’t mine
Given time, but it’s slipping my mind
But I think I see the light
And I think I see the light
Now I think I see the light
It’s just been slipping my mind
