Clarity Lyrics

I ain't like you niggas, teacher always said I'm the one

The conductor, only I orchestrate who I'd become

I always knew how to turn a dream into tangible funds

Like I was back in school selling the youts capri-sun

I hit the hallway, all day, bro was the plug

We in the doorway, walkway, school uniforms

Back when our voices would sound like Westside Gunn

And I'd have to fly to bush for some Westside love

All we wanted was some prada patents

Some akademiks or the kickers with the coloured laces

We lost our innocence, our bruddahs started catching cases

A couple felonies and life takes your imagination, then it's graduation

But, I can feel energy shifting in my favour

Feeling like I'm Potter Payper, nothings free better pay up

I'm the type to win smart but I play dumb

Once I get it, Ima split it with my day ones

Word of advice, stop carrying dead weight out of loyalty

That goes for mandem and that shawty screaming spoil me

People wanna work till it's actually time to

But when it's time to shine now, they wanna shine too

It's giving entitled, I planned my arrival

So if our friendship died there won't be a revival

Told my brother stop gambling he's still rolling dice

Cause he's playing with hammers he's just like Declan rice

I got a princess sitting pretty like she came from Disney

And I got different women thinking they could have my pickney

And yet I see you online tweeting and you're playing pick me

Cuz it's funny seeing what niggas will do for kitty

She want me to love her, I'm still tryna love myself

I need to trust her, and accumulate some wealth

Fuck I look like ever getting put up on a shelf

Niggas tried to manage me but they couldn't manage themselves uh

I almost lost my sanity

But sometimes tragedy gives you a sense of clarity

The broken glass inside the mirror isn't for vanity

Just put the pieces together you'll find familiarity

I'm way too calculated

And I can hear it in your voice when you're fabricating

I hear them say that I'm underground but I been training

I gotta make it for my wife and kids like Daman Wayans

Hear what I'm saying

There was a point I weren't sleeping

You ain't existing if you ain't dreaming

Yeah

There was a point I weren't sleeping

You ain't existing if you ain't dreaming
