They say Mind over matter 🧘🏽‍♂️
But even my thoughts 💭are pink matter 🧠
So if nothing even matters 🤷🏽‍♂️
Then Tell my why I’m stuck so stagger 😔
Placin daggers 🗡 in my back
Man my scars 🤕 run deep 😮‍💨
So keep my loves so close
Cause our days are numbers 🗓
Anybody could go ⚰️/🚪
Sometimes it feels like it best if go 🚶🏽‍♂️
Where lo who knows 🤷🏽‍♂️
They say god 🔱 already know
So tell me when my faith 📿slip low
