1080p

Verse 1

I’m kind of scared of the academy

I think that my parents are proud of me

I just wish I knew how to be comfortable here --

I never feel like I’m allowed to breathe

Rubbing shoulders with these old nerds

Rockin’ sweater vests in they office hours

Eatin’ hors d'œuvres while I soul search

Tryna make some sense of the ivory tower

Feelin sober

Am I just a coward?

Or a poser?

I don’t really doubt it

Or a soldier?

Books in holsters

But the setting sucks I can’t fight the power

Cuz they write books nobody reads

For these white folks that they tryna please

Recycle all the right quotes tryna cite blokes ain’t my cup of tea

Eatin’ chex mix

Feelin’ helpless

I really miss my fuckin’ ex it’s

Such a mindfuck

Cuz we never talk

Yet we still share a fuckin' Netflix

And every day I apologize

To the poor kid that we never had

The emotion of the whole thing

Make me so sick

It’s fucking sad

What you don’t get is how focused

That I had to be cuz you couldn’t provide

Mad at me cuz I’m losing my mind

Had to leave at a terrible time

Prednisone -- I can barely breathe

Now the pressure gone but I barely sleep

So I ring your phone but you don’t respond

Had to put myself in some therapy

Now my Therapist she take care of me

Like Sierra mist things are clear to see

Now I’m seeing the world in 1080p

Now I'm seeing my world in 1080p

Verse 2

Been a few months since the last verse

Since I called you bad words

I went ahead and got my masters

I trimmed the last of my relaxer

So my fro big

Got some mo' gigs

My cell phone says I’m roaming

Cuz I’m on tour

I want more

Forget home so I go big

I was taking pills up in the bathroom

--- ended up alone in grad school

I’m Mario I busted ass but

My prize is sitting in another castle

In a tight spot trying to disappear

I would write songs for my friends to hear

----I’m tryna keep my lights on

I’m a Nikon now it’s crystal clear

Opportunity is at my doorstep

So I’m moving back up on the horse like

It’s the first time I ever wore specks

Now I do my thing like life’s a Rorschach

I see things nobody sees

Since my bee stings turned to double ds

I’m conceding

That my feelings

Is amazing

Now I’m lovin’ me!

I could give it up but where’s the fun in that?

Gotta live it up or you will never laugh

Life’s a box of chocolates with a lot of options

Gotta keep it rocking life’s a rumble pack

The first letter of your first name

Makes your name emerge when I search things

And it hurts me but I guarantee

That without you I’m a better me

Now I see the past with some clarity

Glad I took my ass to some therapy

Now I’m seeing the world in 1080p

Now I'm seeing my world in 1080p
