Deadstock

(Verse)

I be beside you
Just to remind you
Nobody even supposed to incline you
To do something, you better find it inside you

Why they so dead stock?
Acting so worn but they still in the same box
They watch the time go, but still want a wristwatch
Funny how that goes
They just see one way, I call them a cyclops
I stay with eye drops, so I don't squint though
Even at dead stops, I cannot halt though
I'm thinking too much, I need to slow down
I'm in my head though
I never felt so, reluctant to let go

(Chorus)

I write the pain away, I don't involve fakes
Why they act dead stock? You ain't seen pen game

I know the pain knows, you see it from angles
I'm counting on angels, don't look at my halo

(Verse 2)

Said that they mint, fresh off the print
Didn't believe that
I had to break down, now that my phone off
I feel so on now
Taking this time off, I cannot fight feelings
Don't got a guard up
If you so dead stock, how you gon' show out?

It come in due time, I'm overdue right now
I pressed that reset, bringing my best, yeah
To show what I been bout'
Know how I live, balling like swish
I cannot rim out
Phone jump a little more, when it's off airplane
But I don't reply now

The feeling inside you, to feel like you belong
The feeling of what's next
Don't know my context
DMV all day, but I love Midwest
Life like a compass, I need to stay in park
I'm on that slow-mo, you on that fast forward

Life be a crash course, if you gon' let that
So much for setbacks, still wear some dirty vans
Yeah I'm that same dude, that's right beside you
Just to remind you, aye
Nobody even supposed to incline you
I spit my heart out, ain't gotta ask twice
Swimming with sharks now, and you pay the price too
I write these haikus
