Common Sense

[Verse 1]
I woke up feeling different today
Asked for God's forgiveness, I'm sinning but didn't pray
Turn on the tube, they spinnin' the different waves
We literally lost Nipsey a lot of us lost faith (faith)
Remember used to have dreams of reaching the great
I been peep the moves, and closely study the tape
Reserve hate for never signing the wave
The biggest in our space could easily make waves
But now I see that God just had a bigger plan (plan)
He said I'll give you the word if you only take my hand
Knee-jerk reaction I asked him, Lord, come again
I couldn't hear it, my spirit was in a jam
My ex-girl was filling my head with nothing but spam
Learnin' from my mistakes, I was given a second chance
But now I waved up, no question on where I stand
And trust me never will I doubt again

[Chorus]
I just wanted to be free from all of this
I've been trained to always live with common sense
I stand, hoping we gon' get to see a brighter day
We was told to only live inside the maze
Blessed me with the wave I knew we'd ride away
Ride away

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I watched the wave
All of the bad homies just callin' me away
All of the bad tides that led me astray
Telling me that I'm nothing but calling my name
Making sure I was trapped at minimum wage
Mind says my chest was filling with rage
I was boxed and locked in, knew this was a sinister stage
Had to remember momma told me it's only a phase
I know that God is in control, but how long is the wait?
'Cause when you lost and all the people around you have changed
You gotta crop out all the extra to fit in the frame
You gotta learn this life ain't perfect it come with some stains
Money and fame

[Chorus]
I just wanted to be free from all of this
I've been trained to always live with common sense
I've been driftin' lately, things are hit or miss
Now the rain is falling, walls be caving in
