​sf blue lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tryna be more prescient, more present, and way more effervescent
Blow out the candles and cut the cake, once we say our blessings
I'm hella toxic, I know that
I'm waiting for the blowback
But as it stands, I'm just waiting, unknowing, Bobby Womack
Life's a plastic beach, I'm heading for the shore
"Everything has a reason"? What do you take me for?
Most of the time, a thing happens because it's random
Like when dementia came and swallowed up my grandma
You saying that was planned for? But I'm just up here rambling
I finally quit drinking, now I might take up gambling
And the smoke out of my mouth is not from cigarettes I'm dragging
It's from the words I speak, the flames I breathe, guess I'm a dragon
The pain of life is maddening, I give it up to God
'Cause He give me what I need, not what I want
The prophets said that living in this world is like a war
So find peace in His Son, look at the earth, look at the stars
And gaze upon His handiwork
John 16:33, take heart, He overcame the world
2010, NOTW print on my shirts
And now it's Golf Wang
Taking giant steps and bumping Coltrane, uh

[Chorus]
And I'm not crazy, nor naive, as you should know
If you hacking at my stems, how could I grow?
Driving with no pavement on the road
Saving up to make it on my own, all alone
And I'm not crazy, nor naive, as you should know
If you hacking at my stems, how could I grow?
Driving with no pavement on the road
Saving up to make it on my own, all alone
[Verse 2]
Gassed the Civic up and pulled up out the lot
Weed whacking in my heart, I'm trimming up the rot
Twenty lights flash on my dash, pretend that I don't see 'em
Left the Bible at the crib, as I pretend that I don't need Him
And it's different when you up in life
I'm like, "I can't get beaten"
I'm invincible, without the Omni-Man, I'm like a hero
And those eyes were oh, so mesmerizing, like she Hiro
Life got wild and I got feral, damn
I crushed my spirit like you crush a can
Burning bridges, there won't ever be an "us" again
Though my mind was racing, I just took it slow
Came in with a smile on the daily, they'd never know (brutal)
I kept a mask on, you saw right through it (saw right through it)
I been smart since I was lil', but acting stupid (stupid)
Maybe a change in environment help me see light again
But then I get blinded by pride and I'm picking a fight again

[Verse 3]
And they say that all big dreams start with the little things
Posting sounds on the cloud and hoping for Twitter fame
Visions of me on a stage, people chanting my name
Was just that, only visions, them people never came
But Marcus asked me "What's the reason that you do this?"
"Do you make sh*t for the masses? Or is it all for the music?"
He knew that I was fighting with my family over bullsh*t
And he knew that I had talent
I had hard drives that could prove it
So he told me, "Keep your head down, keep on making songs"
And Ty told me the same thing, it wouldn't be too long
And Garrett said, "One day you'll get the chance to prove 'em wrong"
So I went back to my desk and got to work, and now I'm on
Preach
