~~ Part 1 ~~
So I look at the road that I'm walkin', goes against the manual (Facts)
They say that it's gone in the blink of an eye, I say it's more gradual (I do)
Don't blink for the flash or you'll miss it, take us to remission to handle feuds (Uh-huh)
This why it's so important to be so careful who you let counsel you (That's so real)
I been tryna pick myself off my feet, that's my own right (Uh-huh)
People throw stones from glass houses, worry 'bout your own life (Please)
Unstudious, careless niggas speakin' outta self and outta context
But, I'm honest, it couldn't make me hate on a nigga re-regardless, I tell you, uh (I still love you, uh)
I'm stuck in hot winds, and I can only keep it blowin' (Yeah)
I said to all my homies, "Call me if you gettin' lost" (That's right)
But somewhere along the way, I feel my self was gettin' crossed (Wait)
Worried so much 'bout other people that my own soul was on pause (Wait)
Hol' up, I cannot help tryna make myself roll up (No)
Overavailable, takin' a toll, a friend of mine tried to talk to me (Yeah)
And you wouldn't believe how quickly I froze up (Right)
Fell apart right in front of her when I had to face this fact, from the floor up (Word?)
You can't try to housekeep everyone else if it leave yo' own house torn up (Facts)

~~ Bridge ~~
Always lied to me and said it's stronger (Facts)
But running from the pain will only make it last longer (That's real)
Tired of mental problems actin' like a shadow of a stalker (Right)
Cut off friends for time to myself, and now that I've had this time to ponder (Wait)
Man, I think that's the reason that... ("What if all of that is a distraction?")

~~ Part 2 ~~
...none of it ends (No!)
I try to distract, but I'm stuck in a panic (Right)
Fixin' to self-destruct, anti-mechanic (Uh-huh)
And they all see that I'm stuck in the traffic, it ain't no hidin' no more (No)
I feel exposed, feel like I cannot react (Uh-huh)
I'm stayin' in my room for so long nowadays, they think I'm a Cli...
Man, is it worth it? (Worth it?)
Is it worth the pain? Is it worth the change? I feel like Urk' today (I do)
Did I do it? I'm doing as much as I'm moving, my nigga, I been told since birth to play (Right)
But I promise you, I've never had to worry so much about what my words convey (No)
Off that certain plate made by a burdened place, just pray to God none of us burn today (Please)
I'm fixin' to speak out (Yeah), tell all of them stress niggas, "Keep out" (Keep out!)
Coppy niggas treat niggas like they oppy niggas, what our dawgs doing? Why ain't the leash out? (What the heck?)
Try out turnin' the cheek now (Right)
'Cause every headline's of people like me no longer can roam the streets now (Why?)
That's why the hell I gotta preach loud (Why?)
And I don't know about you, but I feel distraction's no longer an option (It ain't)
Because, these two things equal, they sure as hell ain't stoppin' (They ain't either)
So, when the clouds come back to my wake, act like they floggin' (They do)
I'll remind myself that I'm the OG on top, man (Right, right, right, right)
It's Tox, hoo
