Defectum Vitae translating to “failure of life” this song may be about how Portraits of Tracy is acknowledging he has hit rock bottom and he has no solution
[Verse]
How'd I fuck around and get back up in square one?
Junie took control and almost left me fuckin' done
I'm really packing up, just tryna leave this false state
Life is shitty but fuck it 'cause my life is so great
Man those lies I say
They never fuckin' pave the right roads
No fuckin' place that I can go
I need to find a rim just to dunk and hold on
Guess I gotta hold my nuts and try to be Bol
Misadvice was the only thing that I was told
Hood houses in Louisiana growing mold
This a joke to you? Bitch I need to watch my tone
Mama was the fuckin' only one to turn to
Had a snotty nose but big dreams, was learning too
But on the street theme, non-academically
Keep the Glocks from busting, turn to something rhythmically
But are you listening?
Do you hear these words my nigga what you feeling?
But fuck it, I guess I'm cool with this ending
I guess I'm cool with this ending
Shit, I guess I'm cool with this ending
I guess I'm cool with this ending
Fuck
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn back the page
Cause I'm digging for a little light
And this time it ain't no fight or flight
And this time I gotta get it right, yeah
Turn back the page
Cause I'm digging for a little light
And this time it ain't no fight or flight
And this time I gotta get it right, yeah
[Chorus]
Baby I'm falling
Baby I can feel the weight going down, down, down
I'm falling
Baby I can feel the weight going down, down, down
(I'm-I'm-I'm-I-I-I-I)
Just wanna soar
Glide high
Sky high
Ride high
I Just wanna soar
Glide high
Sky high
Ride high
Baby I'm falling
Baby I can feel the weight going down, down, down
I'm falling
Baby I can feel the weight going down, down, down
Just wanna soar (I'm falling)
Glide high (Baby I can feel the weight going down, down, down)
Sky high
Ride high
Just wanna soar (I'm falling)
Glide high (Baby I can feel the weight going down, down, down)
Sky high
Ride high
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn back the page
Cause I'm digging for a little light
And this time it ain't no fight or flight
And this time I gotta get it right, yeah
Turn back the page
Cause I'm digging for a little light
And this time it ain't no fight or flight
And this time I gotta get it right, yeah
Uh, uh
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
I Just wanna soar
Glide high
Sky high
Ride high
I Just wanna soar
Glide high
Sky high
Ride high
[Outro]
