[Hook]
Spirit come and set me free
'Cause I can't do it
[Verse 1]
Thoughts of boarding the wrong train
Ghosts in the machine, they hover and haunt brains
I'm in love with the wrong lane
Gotta put my pen down, I'm afraid I might draw blanks
I suffer nights where all I have is fear
Mind cloudy like my head is in the stratosphere
Crying out God, hope my path is clear
'Cause do we really chase our dreams or do they drag us here?
I want my name to ring bells like it's dinner time
Sick of being patient, couple years since I've been in line
Moved to music city, it's not all games and fun for me
Feelin' like I got the Cavs jersey, number twenty three
You can't be great without some weight to your name
While you're waiting for a chance, it's like they wait for the same
A chance to pull you down...man its ridiculous
You could copy and paste me and you still couldn't stick with this
Look...it's truly a shame
They might win the possession, but they're losing the game
Let me guess, "your flow is automatic like a free throw"?
Man, you gotta work for rewards, there's no cheat codes
Student athlete, they think my grades will slip
So I work myself to d**h and don't get paid for shhhhh
And they don't even see it
I'm part of a bigger plan, I'm made for this
[Verse 2]
Young Griffey in his prime
Swingin' for the fences, the kid, playin' out his mind
Can't be skeptical now
It's only me and the goal like a technical foul
My man T told me that
Cut my ties to anything I feel could hold me back
Tryna live the moment, they live for the moments past
I'm just asking for a moment to breathe and you owe me that
I've never ran from a challenge
Lost my mental time and time again, but found the balance
Cringing at the images inside my mind frame
But I don't regret one thing I went through, it's divine change
Perfect persecution, my life is designed pain
Architectured text is the art which I claim
When horizons seem dark, I look to the sun
At twenty three you'd think I should be good with what I've become
But look...
[Hook]
Spirit come and set me free
'Cause I can't do it
I don't know what's come over me
Just get me through it
[Verse 3]
Feel it under my skin creepin'
Bugs under the rug, I can hear 'em when I'm sleepin'
Fear it when I'm seein' that my path is gettin' steep and
Now the only thing to do is go hard like a weekend
Told myself to never let my effort lack
Never act, stay true to myself, and when I'm desperate
Cleverly weather the drought until I get it back
Alcohol, ladies, and the party scene, I tested that
Set it back onto the shelf, realized it set me back
Vision got clouded, side effects 'cause I was gettin' blacked
Outside my mind, I admit, but now it's different
Wiped my slate clean like a surface that a Swiffer swept
I'm dealin' with my issues
Tough to win the pot with a handful of miscues
And it's a lot to be felt
But there's others at the table with the cards I was dealt
So come on...
[Hook]
Spirit come and set me free
'Cause I can't do it
I don't know what's come over me
Just get me through it
