AFTER HOURS Lyrics

Going on in my head

Fuck, I can't think straight

Smilin' cuz I know I'm good

It don't take two seconds to see I ain't from the hood

I'm from the subdivisions, white lies in these suburbs

Went back and forth so I would pick it up Just like an intern, skid burn

I was tryin' to define myself

But I ain't have the dictionary

So my words were little, expressed myself like playin' Pictionary

I wish the refs would blow the whistle a little earlier

Been runnin' out of breath, but play it off like I'm a warrior

But I don't need no 30 to suppress my past

Ankle rollin', feds, tryin' to get a confession fast

That's what I heard from cuz and them

I ain't been up in your circle

He a square, I'm pressin' him

Keep my triangle of friends

Cuz these niggas X-ing in, come again

I take it one step at a time, yeah, cross the line

It's so peaceful in my mind, yeah, see that's the concept

We strive for, said his voice too deep, can't hit the high note

The cycle, break free from the chain and let your mind float

One step at a time, yeah, cross the line

It's so peaceful in my mind, yeah, see that's the concept

We strive for, said his voice too deep, can't hit the high note

The cycle, break free from your chain and let the mind float

I'm under pressure, but I'm making diamonds

Life got a hundred lessons, and you just put the time in

Cause the climate's changing, cause when I'm stepping through I'm too hot

I think with two minds, a Gemini, so I go through a lot

But I don't think about it, in that state of mind, you wasting time

If I gave him a dollar, he too greedy, passing me a dime

Is she a dime piece? So put your fist up, cause if you miss her

She gon' flick up with your mister, huh

Wait a minute, won't you pray with me

Wait, once I think about it, all you wanna do, debate with me

I see clearly through the fakery, you got a glass up

Tryna act up, like a master

Pass up, see the shot clock, moving faster

Actor, you got no Oscars, bring your pastor

Pray for him, I can't wait for him, gotta take off

Straight form, take his place for him, that's some weight loss

I take it one step at a time, yeah, cross the line

It's so peaceful in my mind, yeah, see that's the concept

We strive for, said his voice too deep, can't hit the high note

The cycle, break free from the chain and let your mind float

One step at a time, yeah, cross the line

It's so peaceful in my mind, yeah, see that's the concept

We strive for, said his voice too deep, can't hit the high note

The cycle, break free from your chain and let the mind float
