The ride ft. Jodi
Verse 1:

Riding riding round, thinking bout life and all opposing
Seen a lot of fakes capture real but they steady posing
I try to model what's proper so the runway is floating
(levitate, levitate)
Up above the madness, I'm passed it and prone to ghosting
Drone with focus
And I can see the real love for me
And I can feel the nudge underneath
To supersede my own goals to reach
But I can see those who covet thee
Altitude and the other the leaps
The distance really ain't much to me
And plus you ain't seen my tundra deep, so don't come for chief
Out of my way, you ain't got nothing to say
You already said it to them, and they on a list
Of those who were posing as kin, but melanin don't make us friends Or similar goals, really just want you to know
My reading is sharp on the low
Paragraph, no
I read you some pages ago
Just so you know how it go -- go, go

Hook:

Riding through the city as I contemplate
Like will they show the love if I die today
Like will they pull and tug as I ride away
Or will they see my flaws and feel some kinda way

I'm trading in my demons for a finer taste
I just wanna leave my mark so momma's proud of me

Verse 2:

Never claimed to be perfect, just a broken soul
Daily growth is my purpose, so my sole versus is my own
Treading smart is for certain, used to move alone
But now I'm tightening my whole circle
Past the few burdens of the old
Auras full of pious, false accusations
Prior to my good
Gave a lot of guidance, but not appreciated
Really wish I could
Take it back but minus, all the education
Lessons lift the hood
Fuel me up inside and, tunning up my patience
Driving pass the look
Honest, I'm a flawed up artist
And my markings pretty tarnished, target
Where my heart is, kinda hardened, harness
Every pardon pretty guarded
In a safe
Please forgive me, my mistake
If I stake
You a snake
In the midst of disarray
Need a break, I'm going...
