[VERSE 1]
I woke up distracted
Something aching on my mind just like a tooth impacted
I’ve been trying to prove myself but that already happened
I’ve been tryna hone my skills well they already sharpened
Get me a target I throw the dagger give the bull the blindness
I’d like to center life around peace and kindness
I’d like to do this right and when I say that I mean share my heart as written how it all transpired
Born to tell my truth I guess that’s how I’m wired
How you stay afloat when things are under fire?
How you trust the truth when you’ve had love for liars?
But ain’t nobody perfect that’s why we have forgiveness
I guess my expectations just might be my weakness
It happens for a reason gotta trust the sequence
I know the texture rough I know it feel like sequins
Used to want to hide the things that shed a light on my uniqueness
Now I’m shining bright I guess you probably seeing this

[VERSE 2]
Beat the odds like Bruce Lee
I be feeling like two three
Going in like two four
Guess I learned what to shoot for
Try to treat me reserve players, I show you who you gonna root for
Try to treat me like the next player I pull up on you drop four four
Underrate me I over score working odd hours just to even scores
Even more ready than I was before
And I been ready
Either way I gotta be ready
Keep my hand steady
Feeling like I’m in the OR
How I cut clean through the heavy pressure
These days I’m the one asking if you even measure
Someday I’ll look back and find treasure
Too caught up working it’s my pleasure
Wouldn’t have it any other way
Used to tell you my goals just so I could see what you would say
Now I keep to myself but you gon' find this out anyway
That’s either way
Either way, I let the record say
Everything I probably had to say
Back when I cared too much 'bout how I appeared
I guess you gotta face yourself before your fears
