[Verse 1]
Just play the beat, I roll my cigarillo
Author of this Orthello thespian shit
In tune with the most high
I can see this shit from both sides
I can never take it, all lies
Read between the lines if you can't, uh, yeah
And that's just a little advice
Talent, that could take you far but common sense can take you farther
Hardest part of life is realizing that there's no limits
Look I may have fell, but never failed nor hesitated
That's an understatement, I'm overthinking and overplanning
All of this in effort to make sure they can understand me
Superficial titles, I can do without the fame boy
My mind is flying free like a plane that's leaving the airport
Empathize with reciprocity, now that's a rare thought
Like henceforth, no cease or stopping
Wasn't left with any options
Left home, evacuated
Now I'm just evaluating
Suitcases filled with fragments of memories, now faded
Lawd, I'm lost and weary, I need direction
A soul's collective messages written in verses for you
Before I go any further, I'll find some steady ground to stand upon
A man of morals, most of y'all will never get it
[Hook]
Feel like I'm talking to myself most times, I-I-I (most times)
Feel like I'm talking to myself most times, I-I-I (most times)

[Verse 2]
People move on, I know this, so won't nobody stay for me
They tell me wait my turn but patiently pray that it's coming soon
Let opportunity arise, I'm sure to take advantage of
All the things that I been dreaming of
They ain't the way they seem, illusions on these screens we view
They look larger than life at times
Reality been setting in for me, I'm tryna manage shit
It's hard to ease your mind when every single thought is damaging
Condemn yourself with doubt, the cloud of negativity surrounds
I take all of the lows and then replace 'em with highs
The farthest thing from perfect, look that's not what I claim
I can feel your pain, see I relate in a way
The stress of living check to check, not knowing how you make it through
Starving, wanting more than what you got but still coming up short
Feel like survival's a sport
Either you do or you don't
Either you will or you won't
That's not the way it is, there's certain things you can't control
It's how you choose to handle them
You can choose to keep the faith, be positive for heaven sakes
The time it takes to hold a grudge or hate, it ain't worth the investment
Lessons learned along the way, we're stuck in stagnant trying to find
Peace of mind for real life, protect that shit at all costs
[Hook]
Feel like I'm talking to myself most times, I-I-I (most times)
Feel like I'm talking to myself most times, I-I-I (most times)
