[Chorus: Brent Faiyaz]
Forget who I am (Did I?)
And how this goes? (Did I?)
Did I forget who I am? (Did I?)
And how this goes?
[Verse: Brent Faiyaz]
Only heaven knows
If you can truly win in the midst of a world that's gon' end
How am I up right now? I'm not, I'm still down
Only heaven knows
If you can truly win in the midst of a world that's gon' end
How am I up right now? I'm not, I'm still down
Niggas dying everyday, but what can I say?
They just want me to sing
It's like everyone wants you to think how they think
And do what they say and stay out the way
And if you don't wanna they got a problem with you
[Chorus: Brent Faiyaz]
Did I forget who I am?
And how this goes? (No way, now how)
Did I forget who I am? (Did I? Chasing gold?)
[Verse: Brent Faiyaz]
Only heaven knows
If you can truly win in the midst of a world that's gon' end
How am I up right now? I'm not, I'm still down
Niggas dying everyday, but what can I say?
They just want me to sing
It's like everyone wants you to think how they think
And do what they say and stay out the way
And if you don't wanna they got a problem with you
[Outro: Purr]
(I'm not listenin' to you, you crazy)
It's so hard to realize
Things I put you through
It's so hard to real life
Bring it back to blue
Wall of stars I'll turn to
