Last night I took a field trip Kind of bent, hopped a fence Cut across a playground and laid down in the cemetery Reflecting on my past, present, and current events Speech slurring I vented to the moon, swore she was answering me Not literal, but in a spiritual sense We spoke Me, myself, and I, but I wasn't alone In fact it felt that picture of a beach with footprints in the sand You know the poem hanging in grandmama's home Where does love come from? Where does it go when its gone? What takes its place? And why does that space turn hard as stone? Another year I am older today In many ways I've grown But in my head them, them questions still they roam Riding the bike she said its like cycling in circles With your eyes closed No hands blind faith is what she called it man Said life's an ocean with a lot of commotion Once you dive in, yeah it's deep But if you can swim it ain't mattering

Find Out 02:54
Verse I: Do you ever have those dreams where you know why Everything just makes sense Sit with God at low tide Floating like we’re weightless I’ve been feeling so high On the road to greatness Until you told me don’t lie You know you need some patience Take this and bring it along to heaven Give it the time You’re living to find The answer to every question This is divine Get in your mind It’s bigger than people’s perception You want your wings for blessings Get ready for your ascension Chorus: Tell me do you wanna fly now Do you wanna hit the sky now You ain’t even scared to die now I’ve been feeling so alive now Guess that we the vibe now Do you wanna fly now Do you wanna hit the sky now I’ve been thinking it’s divine now I Guess we just gotta find out Yeah you know it’s time now Verse II: I pray to angels daily my thanks and praise Then I lay to sleep Away I say to hades Fade to haze and make believe Beneath the wings of deities Taking me through all my dreams I question for a second the heavens split Slip through the seams I guess there’s truer things Than human beings that have to lie What do you represent the moment when the cameras die? Said I’ve been roaming all alone like I’m a samurai Where I’m going I don’t ever know But I just have to try Chorus

Trying 03:32
Is it my fault? I want the shit that I don’t need Now is it my fault? I forgot what you done told me Now is it my fault? Take away diversions from my heart Cuz in this world this shit is all I got Need a lifeline when it’s nighttime Am I in my right mind? Shit I don’t know See them tight dimes Sippin white wine When the light shines For their photos White girl With the white girl Taking flights everywhere And anywhere the snow blows Truth is That the truth lives Deep inside that’s the type of shit that we Don’t show Baby I’m trying x2 It’s goin be a while People judge but they don’t know shit Y’all can get the fuck right up off my dick Kept it all 💯 yeah you know I did Praying I ain’t running from it oh don’t slip Knowin that the devil working hard all day He just gettin mad cuz I’m on my way Saying up to God hope you hold my place Where the grass is greenest yeah I know that’s safe But I’m always distracted by things that I think that I need but I want That’s just the reason I’m asking if this is my fault I want the shit that I don’t need Now is it my fault? I forgot what you done told me Now is it my fault? Take away diversions from my heart Cuz in this world this shit is all I got Take a ride with me Realize with me That this shit ain’t really what it seems Don’t justify with me All the lies that we Try to tell ourselves when we bought a dream Like I don’t give a fuck Imma live it up Lights, camera, action Let the show go Truth is That the truth lives Deep inside that’s the type of shit that we don’t show Baby I’m tryinnn X8 It's goin be a while

Verse I (Scholar) Ride around in my soul I see you where ever I go Light at the end of the tunnel I funnel your glow There’s something about it surreal but I can’t let it go Feel like I’ve been here before Feel like I been here before Where’s my devotion? Question my notions Bottled emotions Thinking I’m floating Where am I going? Looking to find a way to you I know that I have questions But you’re the one who gives me blessings Hook: Imma stay faithful Imma stay faithful to you And imma be grateful Regardless of the states that I feel I’m going through (2x) Verse II (BAM) I remember when I needed you I remember when you came through So here I am Counting my blessings yeah Your the lover of my soul And you remain faithfully faithful So here I am Standing in your presence yeah You're the reason why I'm here You pulled me out of hate and fear Now I'm living for you The old is gone Now I'm new And I gotta stay faithful Chorus

Verse I: (Scholar) Fireworks be blazing we celebrating the new year Think that I’m in heaven the question is what to do here I asked you about the true resolutions for things that you fear You said to go 100 I love it baby you’re too real Been evolving the root of my sin’ll fade away When I’m with you I feel I’m superman to save the day The paint is black and white, but me and you can change the tray We sit and color each other with 50 shades of gray Thank Jehovah cuz you the one that I prayed for Hos catch my attention but you the one that I stay for Baring all the fruit for the truth that we need to pay for You know it’s time to harvest and already start to make more Thank you this season will be amazing You’re changing every place that I stand for a point of view I’m thinking of toasting to the occasion Cuz most my life was vacant it’s grown since knowing you Chorus: Looking back there she was there was Fast forward there she is there she is Stay silent there she goes there she goes Now I wonder where she go where she go Looking back there she was there was Fast forward there she is there she is Stay silent there she goes there she goes Now I wonder where she go Verse II: (Shing02) Oh This can be a happy song, not a sappy song The thinking hat is gone, but the cap is on Aw backwards and the jeans sag, I was wrong Yo I was lost deep in the forest of amazon Baby I’m still stuck in babylon I want you to be my rock, el capitan Let me go to my shed and get my practice on I said practice how many times iverson Why do we hold hands it’s kinda cumbersome But I feel the temperature and my tantrum gone You calm me down when world goes autobahn No speed limit cars flying out of bounds No timeout either, whether webber knew old news Kicking on the block maybe sipping on cold brew Reminiscing on the whole crew And I got mad love for ya sure fiyah, it’s all good Chorus:

Chorus: I think I finally figured out where the grass is the greenest I figured out where it's greenest x2 I'm thanking God got me speechless Ah yeah Verse I: (Scholar) I took a trip to hell and back just to save my soul There was a second I reckoned I wouldn't make it home I reached to heaven, I caught a grip and it made me strong Realized that life is a trip that I couldn't take alone Create my zone, reminiscing back to 91' My rigid condition, the minute that my time begun I had a vision, my mission wishing to find the sun Itching for some wisdom, the omniscient told me the time'll come Where I'm from, I done came a long way I tried to chase acceptance That's stepping the wrong way From setting the bong blaze It's burning like Pompeii To blessing every sentence the second the song plays I used to always think there had to be a greener side Until I realized it's right where I stand I'm dropping insecurities All of my immaturity Looking inside the mirror seen A good ass man I Pre-Hook: Never thought that I would see this Getting past all my demons I'm thanking God can't believe this Yeah you know you got me speechless Hook The Grouch: Searching for validation in validating my own Looking for calculations to add up to cash in a home And a chain and a girl All the pain in the world Don't hurt like the worthless feeling inside when I'm lost I need a million likes to buy me my strength back, that's false Only my light inside is needed to connect me to God The green in my grass is directly affected by how I water my soul So now I pour out my heart It ain't wrong to have an ego, it's just how you use it That's why we all have egos, but do we abuse them? Self-depreciation is beating myself up Your lawn's a vacation to me but I failed to See all the angles Appreciate my angels Be all the things that Bring all the blessings back And not to get blessings, but because it's the right path When I am my higher self, I got the greenest grass Pre-hook Hook Outro Section: Looking in the mirror seen a good ass man X8 Dali Lama Speech
