[Chorus 1: Centient]
From the life that we live in, the people that you see
You don't know, no, you don't know
All the lights, money, women, corrupted by his dreams
Take it slow, now, take it slow
'Cause when you got something brewing 'side your head, yeah
Take a note, yeah, take a note
So when you're gone you won't be distant in your mind
Just stay afloat, yeah, stay afloat
[Verse 1: Centient]
I try to keep it calm inside my mind, my mental
As days go by, I realize I grow so sentimental
As I pass my youth I used to laugh but now my story's bent up
Days I'm stuck inside, all of my dreams I work to better
Do I reside inside the walls I've come to despise
Alienate myself, my truth, to come up more rap lines
Destined to kill myself for glory
How I've been baptized, grew up
Mistakenly abundant, wish I knew black lives, huh
The music, you're fluent, don't matter any race
Don't keep pushing yourself harder that don't, mean more takes
If you keep wasting your conscious on nonsense from a mixtape, you'll be
Dead far before you can afford to tour the states, homie
Then again, you kept working up on the pen
Got lyrics that mirror people, their lyrics will mirror trends
Been destined to make a mark but embarking is fraying ends
And if talking can pay a bill, then I'm talking to raise my friends, and
No more running I'm out to amount to greatness
It's me up in FL I started out just making playlists
If I speak a stutter know I kept it flowing like the greatest
Been waiting a long time, just to have it, now I made it, sing it
[Chorus 2: Centient]
From the life that we live in, the people that you see
You don't know, no, you don't know
All the lights, money, women, corrupted by his dreams
Take it slow, now, take it slow
'Cause when you got something brewing 'side your head, yeah
Take a note, yeah, take a note
So when you're gone you won't be distant in your mind
Just stay afloat, yeah, stay afloat
[Verse 2: Centient]
Then again, you kept working up on the paper got the pen game
Know that they don't got all them layers they ain't built the same
I've been chasing all of my goals, but I can't
Keep from saying tomorrow, so far so good no sorrow
I've been dodging pain. Yeah, yeah
Just another day, I've been around a lot of demons they all look the same
And if they tell you different try to keep it in your brain
Snakes of different colors say they others but they all contain scales
Major or minor problems that I exhale
Knowing, be honest, might get on XXL
Freestyle, how it's been a while, I inhaled
Goddamnit know that I've been well
I can smell flows from a mile
Glow stick, I shine, from hard times, trials
So sick, I find in the end it's still my fault
No trick to try, it's time I go psycho
Forward slash-slash like I'm H-T-P-S
It's time I took a trip, past the walls no recess
You give me the tools, but quarantine I'm homeschooled
If you wanna test me give me records I can't flow to, damn
Yeah, it's been a minute
Remember days up in FL I started tracks to finish
Now I'm in the tracks for getting better plays, I admit it
Been rooting for myself, know the world been with it, sing it
[Chorus 3: Centient]
From the life that we live in, the people that you see
You don't know, no, you don't know
All the lights, money, women, corrupted by his dreams
Take it slow, now, take it slow
'Cause when you got something brewing 'side your head, yeah
Take a note, yeah, take a note
So when you're gone you won't be distant in your mind
Just stay afloat, yeah, stay afloat
[Verse 3: Centient]
Yeah, but all the truth is not what it's made out to be
Finally have a name for myself, but they don't shout to me
When I produced my music, was a hobby a student
I thought that there were big changes to come, but I ain't made it
Had a long life, not famous
Been waiting for the other side, still upgrading
When I become a ghost, miss the gates, heaven's close, yeah
Will my name be, in all the books I evaded? Shit
Maybe music provides, while I stand up
Couple years, catch a couple groupies like the band's up
Maybe count a grill, second chill, get my bands up
Been waiting to inherit from these stanzas
But it's about time I went and hired myself
Been rapping too damn strong to keep the beats on the shelf
So if you think you've got the bars, I'll be here by myself
Until the devil signs me to a label, be in good health, I'm sayin'
From the life that we live in, the people that you see
You don't know, no, you don't know
All the lights, money, women, corrupted by his dreams
Take it slow, now, take it slow
'Cause when you got something brewing 'side your head, yeah
Take a note, yeah, take a note
So when you're gone you won't be distant in your mind
Just stay afloat, yeah, stay afloat
[Verse 1: Centient]
