Overstood / Welcome to Spring Lyrics

Two roads got me splitting down the wrong path

Moving back and forth, my endorphins lowered, but I'll last

The day's sunny, I'm still inside, but it's funny

How every action we take is preceded by thoughts of money

You hungry? Nigga, I'm famished

Losing hope, but I'll manage

Understanding's the first step if you wanna heal the damage, but

I'm just trying to overstand myself before I go and try to blam myself

And yeah, I'm young, 21, still I got a lot to learn

But I don't want to be a worker sitting stranded in a firm

Gotta sew before you reap, gotta you put in what you earn

I put a lot of time in, but I'm not seeing the return

So, what if it's not meant to be?

What if throughout history

There are people who got everything they wanted but the victory?

And hypothetically, if that were me, how would I feel?

Would I be trapped inside a life that's less than ideal?

And am I wrong for wanting more than what was given?

Am I wrong for reading more than what was written or intended for us?

They say intention's a must and you gotta find it

'Cause you can't build a kingdom that's based on a house divided

I'm trying, I swear to God

Holding on, but it's hard

Hope is the only thing that can help me to see tomorrow, but

I'm just trying to overstand myself before I go and try to

I don't wanna have to

If you share your light with me, I might just share my light with you

If you share your light with me, I might just share my light with you

If you share your light with me, I might just share my light with you

If you share your light with me

Won't you share your light, light

Fuck a rat race

Fuck a bird trap

My mentality is Scarface third act

At 14, most of yall aint want to hear me rap

Until they doubled back and played the track and now they say it slaps

So to who it may concern, just know I'm coming up

And all you industry motherfuckers should buckle up

'Cause I'm not here to play no politics or make no friends

If the L's ain't talking M's, then I might stick 'em for they ends

That's all facts in all caps with no cap

Rapping all black and you cannot resolve that

I'm not a jiggaboo who flaunting triggers, fool

For the internet, you only into that shit for the views

But when the gimmicks running out and your content running dry

And your audience could give a fuck if you gon' live or die

Tell me, what was all the meaning for?

It could've been so meaningful

But now your whole career is dead as Namikaze Minato

I'd wish the worse for you, but wouldn't mean it though

Wanna see my people prosper and flourish for greater growth

Even if it means 'til forever that we ain't never speaking

I enjoyed the time we had and I don't need a greater reason

To love you until I die, I'm giving up on my pride

If it means that I'll be living for what instead of for why

I was looking back and I cried in retrospect and denial

Of how part of me is still yours and a part of you still mine, so

If you share your light with me, I might just share my light with you

If you share your light with me, I might just share my light with you

If you share your light with me, I might just share my light with you

If you share your light with me

Won't you share your light, light

And that's it right there

That's the Winter in Wonderland EP

If you took the time to really sit this project

I just want to let you know how much it means to me

Right now it's

December 29th, 2021

3:45 in the a.m.

You know, the majority of the songs on this project

Five out of the seven, I wrote

Between December of 2020 to February of 2021

I was going through a pretty dark period to say the least

I felt isolated,

Alone, helpless

So, the winter in Winter in Wonderland,

It represents more than just the season in which these songs were written

You see, I was always fascinated with the idea of a Wonderland

A place where anything is possible

Where your dreams can exist before they ever enter reality

A place where you can nurture those dreams

Until they're strong enough to stand on their own

But, on the other side, the winter represents that feeling of no hope

When your ideas, your hopes, your dreams,

It doesn't seem like they can come into existence

In the context of Wonderland, it's when nothing is able to grow

A reflection of the feeling of being trapped in a seemingly endless winter

But, eventually, even after what may seem like an eternity

Spring will show its face again

So, this goes out to anybody going through their own winter right now

Just gotta trust and believe that it's gon' get better

'Cause, like it or not

Spring is on its way
