lyrics
Throw a little holy water on my head
I'm too tired for the message
I don't need nobddy preaching to me
While I'm 13 tryna eat my breakfast
Managed to be fine going this far
Now I'm trying not to go nuts for a good bar
Peer into my soul for a gimmick
Listen out, I ain't heard a good soul in a minute
I ain’t gon explain
why I wanna exclaim
and let it all fade away
let it all fade away babe
I ain’t gon explain
why I wanna exclaim
and let it all fade away
feeling no shame today baby
Good God, good God
In a room full of crooks I'm just tryna be the good cop
Dark clouds circling my head
That's why in middle school I kept looking for a good WAP
Cause love gotta let me in deep,
Get them cheeks in the sheets, til its TLC creep
Need a lot more like a DLC leak
Tryna get at everybody like they on Cc
I don't give a damn about the damage
Pressure as a kid, but a man gotta manage
Power dynamics, can I be candid?
Grow up in the hood, fuck shit comes standard
That's why I'm so angry and demanding
Been around trauma since playing in the sandbin
That's why we wanna the party in the mansion
Broken inside but we still keep dancin
I ain’t gon explain
why I wanna exclaim
and let it all fade away
let it all fade away babe
I ain’t gon explain
why I wanna exclaim
and let it all fade away
feeling no shame today baby
Took my first sip in a white Caddy
Riding round slow showing off for my step-daddy
Cause this is what a man be
9 years later, back seat getting handies
Not a saint, I'm just complex
I can write a good song, it's just better with some context
Studying the game while flippin through a Complex
If I didn't focus I was bound to be a con next
Hmm, what I miss
Got my face in my palm while sleeping til the benedict
Somebody must have prayed for me
Saw I had a gift and put art in the way for me
It was easy to forget when the day's crumby
Feelings try to catch me and that's why I spent the day running
Paid hundreds, I'm still a mess
And I’m tryna share my story, I'm just running out of breath
I ain’t gon explain
why I wanna exclaim
and let it all fade away
let it all fade away babe
I ain’t gon explain
why I wanna exclaim
and let it all fade away
feeling no shame today baby
Let it all, run away
Wash it all off, let it flow in the rain
Drip on the ground let it soak in the grain
Letting go of the pain babe
Let it all, run away
Wash it all off, let it flow in the rain
Drip on the ground let it soak in the grain
Letting go of the pain babe
Let it all, run away
Wash it all off, let it flow in the rain (Good God, I'm glad that it's over)
Drip on the ground let it soak in the grain
Letting go of the pain babe (If not will you let me know)
Let it all, run away
Wash it all off, let it flow in the rain (Good God, I'm glad that it's over)
Drip on the ground let it soak in the grain
Letting go of the pain babe (If not will you let me know)
I ain’t gon explain
why I wanna exclaim
and let it all fade away
let it all fade away babe
I ain’t gon explain
why I wanna exclaim
and let it all fade away
feeling no shame today baby
I know things may not go my way
Watch my tears and they flow like rain
Drip on down and then soak that grain
Telling the world to let go that pain
