Smooth

Ooh, I'm connected to the truth
Everything is going real smooth
Ooh, I don't know about you
But for me, everything is real smooth

Yeah, I speak the language
Smooth talking (smooth talking)
Smooth, smooth talking
Yeah, I speak the language
Smooth talking (smooth talking)
Smooth, smooth, smooth talking

Yeah, what's a hater? I haven't met one
I just beat the game, you think the refs won
I'm tryna f*ck a model so I text one, this life is a blessed one
Gave the world a lot, so now it's my turn to get some
Next month, shows lined up, gonna gross Ms
Didn't hire randoms, I gave jobs to my close friends
We in Paris like we spoke French
My parents got no rent, son is doing well, life is smooth

Ooh, I'm connected to the truth
Everything is going real smooth
Ooh, I don't know about you
But for me, everything is real smooth

Yeah, I speak the language
Smooth talking (smooth talking)
Smooth, smooth talking
Yeah, I speak the language
Smooth talking (smooth talking)
Smooth, smooth, smooth talking

Yeah, I sold my textbooks, now it's closed deals and open check books
Millions on my plate, I'm the best cook
I whipped 'em up myself now Russ is ballin' like he's Westbrook
I drew out my dreams, those weren't journals, those were sketchbooks
The seeds were planted deeply, the universe believed me
Now me and my mom are sipping wine in Santorini
Man, I used to walk in dealerships, they'd act like they can't see me
They were on that bull, now they gift me Lamborghinis, life is breezy
I'm just cruisin', even Kylie knows my tracks
Gianna wants a Range, just laid out ninety grand in cash
I'm getting plaques, that shit nothing, I can do it again
And again and again, and again and again, life is smooth

Ooh, I'm connected to the truth
So everything is going real smooth
Ooh, I don't know about you
But for me, everything is real smooth

Yeah, I speak the language
Smooth talking (smooth talking)
Smooth, smooth talking
Yeah, I speak the language
Smooth, smooth, smooth talking
Smooth, smooth, smooth talking

Fraud

Am I a fraud?
I'm havin' these thoughts
I wonder if it's all my fault
This whole thing fell apart
I thought, I thought I'd never lose
What's there is done, I can't undo
Is this really it?
I'm lost

Yeah
Who am I if I'm not perfect? (Who?)
Who am I if I can't save us? (Who?)
Who am I if I wanted everyone to love me
Instead I got 'em sayin' they hate Russ?
Who am I if mom and dad split 'cause I funded it?
Who am I if I wanna be done with this? (Who?)
Who am I if I need help
But I can't ask for it 'cause I feel like a f*ckin' bitch? (Bitch)
Who am I if I'm unsure? (Unsure)
Who am I if I have doubts? (Doubts)
Who am I if I can't sell this tour
'Cause I need more time to figure this out?
Who am I if I feel less than? (Who?)
Who am I if I'm not next then?
Who am I if I'm not God?
Am I really no better than the next man?

Am I a fraud? (Yeah)
I'm havin' these thoughts
I wonder if it's all my fault
This whole thing fell apart
I thought, I thought I'd never lose
What's there is done, I can't undo
Is this really it?
I'm lost

(Yeah)
Who am I if I'm not perfect? (Who?)
Who am I if I admit I'm scared (I'm scared)
Who am I if I admit I get jealous
And I shouldn't, but I still look around to compare? (Compare)
Who am I if they don't accept me? (Who?)
Who am I if I lose hope? (Hope)
Who am I if they don't respect me?
Who am I if I don't sell out every single show (show)
Who am I if I don't know how to cope (cope)
Without a bottle and a girl givin' throat? (Throat)
Who am I if I write a self help book
And realize that I'm probably the one who needs it the most? (Who?)
Who am I if I lose my fans? (Fans)
Who am I if I lose my fam? (Fam)
Who am I if bein' me isn't good enough?
Who am I if I'm not who I think I am?

Am I a fraud? (Yeah)
I'm havin' these thoughts
I wonder if it's all my fault
This whole thing fell apart
I thought, I thought I'd never lose
What's there is done, I can't undo
Is this really it?
I'm lost

I'm lost, I'm lost
I'm lost, I'm lost
I'm lost
I'm lost

No More

Ooh (what the f*ck just happened?)
Oh, oh

I don't wanna cry no more (yeah)
Tired of hangin', I don't wanna try no more
Too much weight up on my back, oh
And I feel like I might snap, ah
I don't wanna cry no more
Tired of hangin', I don't wanna try no more
Too much weight up on my back, oh
And I feel like I might snap, ah

Think I've had enough of this game
Put a little too much trust in this game
I ain't havin' fun no more
I don't even think I'm in love no more
Never thought I'd say goodbye
White flag in my hand, I'ma wave it high
But I'm bruised up and I'm beat down
Cryin' and depressed every day of the week now
I'm done
Enough

I don't wanna cry no more
Tired of hangin', I don't wanna try no more
Too much weight up on my back, oh
And I feel like I might snap, ah
I don't wanna cry no more
Tired of hangin', I don't wanna try no more
Too much weight up on my back, oh
And I feel like I might snap, ah

Everything was going all right, then the shit went left (left, left, left, damn)
I wish at the end of the night I got nothin' left (left, left, left, damn, damn)
Watch the whole switch
Family fell apart even though I got rich
Tryna fight back, dad ain't raise no bitch
Gave this shit my life and they tryna take it
Back in one night well y'all can have it
I don't even want this shit no more (no more, no more, no more, no more)

I don't wanna cry no more
Tired of hangin', I don't wanna try no more
Too much weight up on my back, oh
And I feel like I might snap, ah
I don't wanna cry no more
Tired of hangin', I don't wanna try no more
Too much weight up on my back, oh
And I feel like I might snap, ah

Empty

Yeah

I'm feelin' empty every day now
I don't know what the f*ck is happenin'
I'm runnin' fast, but I feel weighed down
Nowhere I go escapes the sadness
I'm feelin' empty every day now
I don't know what the f*ck is happenin'
I'm runnin' fast, but I feel weighed down
Nowhere I go escapes the sadness

You told me that I wasn't good enough (good enough) and I listened (listened)
And now I'm feelin' angry, tryna find out what's missin'
There's a hole in me (hole in me), I'm tryna fill it (fill it)
With accomplishments and women, but that don't make a difference, no (no)
Why you never wanna see me up? (Up)
Why you always tryna bring me down? (Down)
Man, I wish I didn't give a f*ck (f*ck)
Still, I'm out here lookin' all around for somethin'
Or someone to make me feel a way
But instead I'm left with nothin'
'Cause you told me that I wasn't good enough and I listened, oh

I'm feelin' empty every day now
I don't know what the f*ck is happenin'
I'm runnin' fast, but I feel weighed down
Nowhere I go escapes the sadness
I'm feelin' empty every day now
I don't know what the f*ck is happenin'
I'm runnin' fast, but I feel weighed down
Nowhere I go escapes the sadness

I Love You Boy

I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run (yeah)

You grew up in a environment that was hostile and got wild
Arguments you heard as a small child had an effect
That left you with a lot to undo
Your first words was screamin' at your mom sayin', "F*ck you"
Imagine the visual, diaper on, already dealin' with the residual
Effects of an explosive father figure was difficult
Mama was miserable, his love felt conditional
You better be perfect, otherwise he'll be hypocritical
Belittle you 'til you nothin', yeah, hurts to listen
Neither parent knew how to regulate the nervous system
That was reactive, mom was fatalistic
No one to protect you, grandfather paid a visit
To take you and your siblings and your mama far away
Twenty-nine years later, she regrets that she stayed
You were doomed from the start, you were hurt and ostracized
There's a wound in your heart, survival mode, you traumatized (for real)

I love you, boy (I love you)
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run (yeah)

The monster you created to protect the kid in you is hard to manage
Supreme confidence, deep cripplin' insecurity
The damage that's been done is explicit, and abusive and a critic
Nothin' that you ever do is really good enough, is it?
You didn't get validation from your dad
So you replaced him with the industry and started to rap
You wanted praise and acknowledgement and picked a profession that
People who look like you don't get, now the range of accomplishments
Bein' ignored, authoritative outside force
That you, yet again, apparently, aren't good enough for
All fueled you, your need to be liked and feel wanted consumed you
That's why you call a chick every night to come do you
Only to be left feelin' less than before
Didn't have the tools to manage stress, you're at war
With yourself, you need love
Drinkin' to forget that bein' you is not enough
Overcompensatin' in interviews, tryna prove that you're right
Maybe then you'll be liked
Tryna prove you're worthy of approval you weren't shown in your home
I'm sorry that I ever left you all alone

I love you, boy (I'm sorry)
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run (yeah)

You deserve a pat on the back and a round of applause
The sound of this song makes you think I'm not proud, but you wrong
Look how far you took it, international bookings, you gave your family a cushion
And through the hate, you kept pushin'
Knew you had people lookin' up to you, you held your composure
As hell moved close to you, you a soldier, it's a shock that you were ever sober
I never told you how I feel, I apologize
Lot of guys would've folded, I guess I'm not surprised
You prophesized this from the get go
Anything you wanted, went and got it 'cause you said so
Packs of women fightin' over you like Shevchenko
Seven figure checks, private jets, your best friends know
Your character, you proved that by sharin' your
Successes and blessings, but when you hurt, we hurt
Breakdowns mean that it's time for a rebirth, so
You carried me as far as you could go
Now it's time to say goodbye, before I leave, you should know though, yeah

I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run

Enough

Yeah

I wasn't right within, was lyin' tryna find a slim openin'
To cope with grim realities of hopelessness
The casualties of broken men, unhappily devoted when
They hit me, all the walls were tryna kiss me, they were closin' in
I'm soakin' in a tub of how the f*ck did this all happen?
Can I fasten my seatbelt before the tree and me are wrapped in
A blanket I can't escape? But the brakes that I have ain't brakin'
And the weight that I feel is achin', they say we don't feel the same shit
The pain isn't real, I'm famous, the cage that I'm in is dangerous
I'm chained, the perception anxious, every day I'm faced the anguish
Of fakin' and savin' faces, so drainin', I pray it changes
Self-hatred's an understatement for makin' the bed I lay in
My faith and my patience shaken, I'm cravin' a new awakenin'
I'm chasin' myself, I'm wavin', complainin' that I'm evadin'
Betrayin' myself was strainin' and slayed by my past, I'm racin'
That ancient indoctrination, I'm blazin' whatever's failin'
And scrapin' up the remainin', be shapin' my soul creatin'
Embracin' the new foundation, no swayin', no more decayin'
The process of excavation, surveillin' what needs replacin'
This daily, can't get complacent, I'm takin' solo vacations
I need solitude, I think a bottle too, many problems due
To not wanting to upset my family, plus I got the news
That sadness ain't allowed from the same crowd that turns around
And asks for sad songs, tell me how, 'cause as a man, you cannot frown
Don't make a sound, just a stand up proud
No one appreciatin' us until we're dead and underground
It's no surprise that suicide is super high, it's not unusual
'Cause men know that they only get their flowers at their funeral
We're hardenin' ourselves instead of gardennin' ourselves
Suppressed emotions, we're alone, so now we're targetin' ourselves
Don't wanna talk to out of pride, in fear of comin' off weak
Some women lookin' at you lesser if there's tears on your cheek
But if there's tears tattooed, that same girl is a freak
So they attracted to the pain unless they hear the pain speak
Society romanticizin' silent sufferers, stoicism is sexy
Unless he can't show that, he f*cks with her, if that's your girl, be done with her
'Cause if you're numb to the pain, then you're numb to the pleasure
Whether it's sun or it's rain, to you it's all the same weather
These days I'm better off retreated and reserved
On a resort, then re-emerge feelin' recharged and reassured that I'm
Enough

Adventure

What you gonna do when it doesn't work out how you thought it would? (Whoa)
Feels unfair and you wanna turn around, but it's for your own good
I can lose it all, just as long as I don't ever lose my faith (whoa)
I've never been here, but that makes it new, doesn't mean it's strange

I'm not lost, I'm on an adventure
I'm just on a quest for my treasure
Cross any ocean, walk any desert
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Might fall apart, just pull it together
Think about how far you've come, just remember
You're not lost, you're on an adventure (yeah)

Gotta trust the universe, I'm tempted
Mama said that light is what I'm wrapped in (wrapped in)
I know if it happens then it's supposed to (oh, oh-oh)

Yeah, yeah
When I was at my lowest, had to hold my head the highest
Reconnect with silence, otherwise it's hard to hear the guidance (hear the guidance)
Thinkin' that I got a broken version of success
Until I realized this is the version that I'm supposed to get
I see the way the roads connect if you just keep on drivin'
Tried to fight the moment, thought my stars need realignin'
Told my mama that I quit
Told my friends that when I get back from Brazil, that this is it
Don't nobody hit my phone, I was disgusted with God
Tried to discuss it with God
This ain't how it's supposed to go, I've had enough of this, God
But then I remember where I started from
Realized I'm far from there and I'm far from done (true)

What you gonna do when it doesn't work out how you thought it would? (Whoa)
Feels unfair and you wanna turn around, but it's for your own good
I can lose it all, just as long as I don't ever lose my faith (whoa)
I've never been here, but that makes it new, doesn't mean it's strange

I'm not lost, I'm on an adventure
I'm just on a quest for my treasure
Cross any ocean, walk any desert
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Might fall apart, just pull it together
Think about how far you've come, just remember
You're not lost, you're on an adventure (no, no, yeah, no, no)

I'm just tryna have faith in what I can't see
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
But if it's in my mind's eye, then I believe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Head to the sky and all I needed
Is one sign
'Cause I still believe that behind the clouds
Is the sunshine

Yeah
For a second lost my sanity
Took it out on everyone, includin' friends and family
The universe is handin' me a reward in disguise of a detour
Forcin' me to believe more, gratitude helped me restore my faith

I could've quit
Glad I didn't
Not been done
I'm not finished
I feel amazin'
I feel amazin'
Do I really know?

Oasis

I'm in my little oasis
Been to a whole lot of places
Nothin' like my little oasis
And it feel f*ckin' amazin'
Been livin' in my little oasis (ooh-whoa)
Please, don't come around, tryna change it (ooh-whoa)
I can't let that happen, I made it (ooh-whoa)
Ain't nothin' like my little oasis (ooh-whoa)
Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa

Yeah
Bury my problems in a bottle and a feast
No routine, no obligations, hardly gettin' any sleep
This is the dream, right?
Usin' random women just to boost my self-esteem, right?
Comfortable, complacent, I can't let go, so I squeeze tight
Hangin' on, I'm a mess (mess)
I could've swore that I was 'posed to be goin' somewhere but I forget
I'm in a drunken stupor, feel like a f*ckin' loser
I don't know what I even want, don't see a f*ckin' future
Feel like I have everything, but I feel nothin'
Spent a quarter million dollars on a car that I don't need just to feel somethin' (yeah)
Still nothin'
Well, everything else failed, I might as well try self-destructin'
Dress it up though, make it look sexy so I don't notice
That my bein' is deterioratin', I'm losin' focus
At least it's got a multi, multi platinum sound to it
Get your shit together, yeah, I get around to it

I'm in my little oasis
Been to a whole lot of places
Nothin' like my little oasis
And it feel f*ckin' amazin'
Been livin' in my little oasis (ooh-whoa)
Please, don't come around, tryna change it (ooh-whoa)
I can't let that happen, I made it (ooh-whoa)
Ain't nothin' like my little oasis (ooh-whoa)
Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa

Losin' direction by the minute, I'm trippin', I'm stallin'
Feelin' like DMX 'cause lately I'm slippin', I'm fallin'
F*ck it, I'm ballin', I'll get back on track tomorrow
I got time, ain't no rush, before you know it, it's tomorrow, damn
Defeated, depleted, don't wanna believe it
Anxiety beatin' my ass, I'm over eatin'
I put on thirty pounds of fat, friends say I'm gettin' money
If this is rich then take me back to bein' broke and bummy
I made an independent fortune and my engines foreign
But my stress is soarin', bootleg pornos off a Reddit forum
Every mornin', that's a copin' mechanism
Like the smokin' and the drinkin' and I'm prone to overthinkin'
Need to self soothe (yeah), I got some bad habits (yeah)
Check my account though, it just looks like I'm a cash addict (ha)
I'm back at it every day, driftin' further away
Go get your shit together, maybe tomorrow, but not today

I'm in my little oasis
Been to a whole lot of places
Nothin' like my little oasis
And it feel f*ckin' amazin'
Been livin' in my little oasis (ooh-whoa)
Please, don't come around, tryna change it (ooh-whoa)
I can't let that happen, I made it (ooh-whoa)
Ain't nothin' like my little oasis (ooh-whoa)
Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa

Distracted

Can't get distracted right now
Can't happen right now
I gotta go, come back around
And if you ain't still there
It wasn't meant to be
I can't get distracted right now
Can't happen right now
I gotta go, come back around
And if you aren't there
Then it is what it is

I don't really wanna leave
But I know I gotta leave
Now I can't sleep
Please, wait for me
It's somethin' that I gotta do
I'ma think about you
While I'm away
I'm leavin' today
Gotta see my visions come true
That don't mean I don't love you
Say you understand, I need that
Promise you, I'ma be back
And breathe
Can't live in peace, baby

Can't get distracted right now
Can't happen right now
I gotta go, come back around
And if you ain't still there
It wasn't meant to be
I can't get distracted right now
Can't happen right now
I gotta go, come back around
And if you aren't there
Then it is what it is

Been too many moons since I
Seen your face, I'll admit, ah, this
Journey is tough, am I worthy enough?
Or should I just turn around and come back?
F*ck that
I wouldn't forgive myself if I don't give myself
Everything I got, I'm sorry I left you but
If I come back now, I know I'll resent you
Gotta keep goin', gotta heed all this
All of these moments hard to find (it's 'bout time)

Can't get distracted right now
Can't happen right now
I gotta go, come back around
And if you ain't still there
It wasn't meant to be
I can't get distracted right now
Can't happen right now
I gotta go, come back around
And if you aren't there
Then it is what it is

Tunnel Vision

I, I think you're captivating
I, I, I think you're captivating
I, I, I think you're captivating

Yeah
It's not the time to pump these brakes
I don't care how much I love her, how much money that I've made
That wasn't the goal, it never was
I'm tryna see what my zenith is
What it looks like to believe in strength in all of my weaknesses
Inconveniences are hurdles, discipline jumps over
I wanna see how it feels to do twelve months sober
I wanna feel self love without the vanity (the vanity)
I wanna feel what it be like to give a Grammy speech (a Grammy speech)
I wanna see exactly how far I can take this independent thing
How high can I fly if I just learn how to extend my wings
What would it be like to be patient, this is a me thing
What would it be like to stop shamin' myself to victory
So when I win it doesn't feel defeating, that's why I'm leaving
I'm seekin' constant improvement
I don't have kids but I fostered a movement
The journey's the treasure, if I ain't movin', I'm losin', for real

I've been (I've been)
Pridin' myself on all of my patience (patience)
Pridin' myself on all of my diligence
Pridin' myself on all of my curiosity
I know I'ma get far if I work hard (get far)
Givin' shit up that I f*ckin' love to death (to death)
When we called it quits, I was f*ckin' mess (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But I gotta stick to my decision (yeah, yeah)
Got that tunnel vision, baby

Yeah
If I give up on myself, it's givin' up on the universe
In return it gave up on me, no more signs, no more new alerts
I be haunted by what if I went after what I wanted
Daydreaming 'bout that nightmare is what prompted
Me to keep it goin', I'm determined to see
What life would look like as the best version of me
I want a body that look sculpted like a statue
I wanna not respond to everything if I don't have to
I wanna heal the trauma from my childhood, I'm pissed off
I wanna learn to snap less and use Wim Hof
I wanna celebrate myself instead of waitin' for others
I wanna be a better friend, better son, better brother
I wanna stop thinkin' that I gotta go through hell
To get the credit I desperately need to give to myself
Across the board, I wanna see what my best is (yeah)
I wanna prove it to myself that I can get this
Tunnel vision

I've been (blinders on, I've been)
Pridin' myself on all of my patience (patience)
Pridin' myself on all of my diligence
Pridin' myself on all of my curiosity
I know I'ma get far if I work hard (get far)
Givin' shit up that I f*ckin' love to death (to death)
When we called it quits, I was f*ckin' mess (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But I gotta stick to my decision (yeah, yeah)
Got that tunnel vision, baby

The Wind

Yeah
Ooh, yeah, yeah (ha)
Mm, yeah

Proved it to you and I proved it to me
Yeah, I came a long way, yes, indeed
This isn't luck, this is pure perseverance
I came a long way, yes, indeed
I had my doubts, I'm ashamed to admit
But I realize now I am the one
My faith was tested but I invested
In myself, watch me become

The wind (watch this, watch this)
The wind (watch this, watch this)
The wind (watch this, watch this)
The wind (watch this, watch this)

Yeah
I need ultimate focus, I'm talkin' damn near hypnosis
To reach my upmost potential and fill the holes in my soul
It's somethin' I owe to the kid in me, didn't know he was broken
And every win for me is really givin' hope to the hopeless
The podium is my booth, I can never be silenced
And my connection with myself is my strongest alliance
Watch me elevate beyond the point you said was my highest
And I don't care if it gets dark 'cause that's when I shine my brightest, for real

For real
Shit
Y'all thought
Huh
Come on, yeah

Proved it to you and I proved it to me
Yeah, I came a long way, yes, indeed
This isn't luck, this is pure perseverance
I came a long way, yes, indeed
I had my doubts, I'm ashamed to admit
But I realize now I am the one
My faith was tested but I invested
In myself, watch me become

The wind (watch this, watch this)
The wind (watch this, watch this)
The wind (watch this, watch this)
The wind (watch this, watch this)

Time and time again, I'm provin' that I can't be f*cked with
I'm resilient plus the universe is somethin' that I'm one with
To the bully in me swingin', yellin', "Yeah, right" (yeah, right)
I beat 'em with love, I told 'em, "Yeah, right" (yeah, right)
Gotta prove me wrong and prove myself right (myself right)
Can't happen 'til I get myself right (myself right)
The anxiety of it if I'm gonna make it as a whole but in order to evolve, I gotta let go

Proved it to you and I proved it to me
Yeah, I came a long way, yes, indeed
This isn't luck, this is pure perseverance
I came a long way, yes, indeed
I had my doubts, I'm ashamed to admit
But I realize now I am the one
My faith was tested but I invested
In myself, watch me become

The wind (watch this, watch this)
The wind (watch this, watch this)
The wind (watch this, watch this)
The wind (watch this, watch this)

It was you all along (you all along)
It was you all along (you all along)
You had it the whole time
You had it the whole time, whole
