Cabernet Blues Lyrics

Wont catch me folding to pressure

You see my diamond shine

Same conditions grapes are crushed becoming sweeter wine

On the tongue the taste is soul sublime

Unlike ways we view ourselves

Inside of mirrors under jaded eyes

Rather walk out in my truth not where comfort lies

Niggas sleeping on the God cause they idolized

Ain't gotta sell away my passion on a dotted lined

I'm taking flight and scaling these mountains

Before I reach my prime

Gotta venture thru the rain 'fore you bask in rays

Overcoming trials and pain speakin more namaste, if

My company's unwanted I don't gotta stay

And they won't show ya love

Until you make it then they throwin shade

I'm better off in places deep beyond this matrix

My path congruent with legends

No I don't lean, adjacent

Here in the west I peep these niggas cravin

Feel like Pac up in that black mercedes

Picture me rollin thru these pages

Read and between the lines

And then you'll find out the pain lives

See it's written in the stars never fading

When success is built approachin conditions not what you paid in

Can't just waste ya life away by slaving out for wages

Calculating steps it's takes to harbor greatness

Shit been rocky Rocky thru battles

But know I'll never boggle

Punching like Drago, my foot ain't ever off of the throttle

Penning murals no these ain't Picasso

More a Basquiat and Virgil how I keep it Abloh

Rest in peace I guess we popping bottles

A creed to self to keep it more Apollo

Cameras rolling on my life without a script life to follow

Cruising the 101 my mind on auto, never hollow

On the surface gotta keep it together

Dealing with feathers turning boulders that are aiming to sever

I know I'm better than my competors thru every ledger

That I measure won't get my respect

Unless I kill and trend every endeavor

People change, why we call it seasons cause we ain't the same

Summer days when it turns (Winter) to fall (Fall)

Some won't Spring again

Some are dazed, blinded by the light, some be bathed in grace

Some are drained, some will take their life, some embracin pain

Some are brave, some are torn by plight, some are changing ways

Who's to say that who we are today won't to come elevate

It's up to you strike a match and keep hold the flame

Time to lay off the 'pagne, turning new pages

Auto typography on new waves, that shoe gaze

Jazz swing Bublé, amouré touché

Who's to say that who you are today won't come to elevate
