morphine (da ways)

Yeah
 Uh, yeah, know what I mean?

 Yeah

 Yeah, uh
 Yeah, look, uh
 My brother said you learn how to swim if he throw you in
 Holding the pen, it got me blending with ink and fins
 I'm holding that lens close 'cause I spoke through my sins
 I told myself I'm holding my chin to where ocean begin
 Conscious kept poking to make amends
 And it finally tore my flesh when air couldn't get in
 Morphine running through my veins
 I just wanted to win
 More keys opening the ways to love what's within
 More keys opening the ways
 Tryna set ablaze all my shitty old ways
 This, that soul tap, but it hit different on the page
 Since I own that, it's gon' hit different on the stage
 Got my own back, learned to never trip on no dismay
 'Cause my dome raps ain't different than display
 Picking up the pace got me living on display
 This pending need for capital turned living to a race
 I erase all these shackles in my daydreams and escape
 Look, I said
 "Please, don't weigh me down
 Getting through these waters with my other hand"
 I said, "You can't weigh me down
 I can get this dream off if my mother can"
 I said
 "Please, don't weigh me down
 Getting through these waters with my other hand"
 I said, "You can't weigh me down
 I can get this dream off if my mother can"
 Feel me?
 Yeah
