This song is about the dysfunction we have with our relationship with God and our spirituality. We are very disconnected from that because it’s easy to run after all these other things in life that we think make us or define us or complete us, much like the hopeless romantic who always pursues toxic...
I heard you messed around and
Got your heart broke wide open
I heard you thought you had one
Turned out he ain't no different
You say you so woke
But stay sleeping on me
Now you are "so woke"
But I'm past done waiting for you
You see I…
Had to wake up, had to realize that
You just don't get it
I make you feel safe but you deny that
There ain't no mojo. No love, no sex, just good vibes, yeah
I heard it before. Mama just see yourself out through that door, I want you no more
I want my goals
I want my NSX
I want my gold
I want my silver and I want my rose
I want the turnup and checks with them 0s
They say it's medicine, get you like codeine
Crazy for all of the cold things
The money the cars and the clothing
Skrippers and ratchets and hoes
Are all that a nigga can choose from
Where all of the women I need one
Got used up and fucked over too much
Said fuck it and put on some glass pumps
Some makeup and glitter, go have fun
That's the moral of the story, that's just how it goes, yeah
Chase the fame and fortune, glory that don't go to God, yeah
Jesus, lawd, help me, please, I can't love them all yeah
I can't beat em bout to join em, I'm like fuck it all, yeah, fuck it all, yeah, fuck it...
Pre-Chorus
I heard you messed around and
Got your heart broke wide open
I heard you thought you had one
Turned out it ain't no different
You say you so woke
But stay sleeping on me
Now you are "so woke"
But I'm not done waiting for you
Hook
This the part where you open up your eyes
This the part where you should apologize
This the part where you should forget it all
This the part where you can say "fuck it all"

Verse 2
I'm the man
I don't give a damn
Your perception of me doesn't make me who I am
Your opinion of me nothing new, I'm not a fan
I don't need your validation I don't want your cents
I'm chasing dollars with the rest of millennials
Pushing 30 tryna all become millionaires, billionaires, screaming we DON'T care, it's lit
But all the while stressing bout ignorant shit
The nigga you think is your baby daddy when you ain't even wanting a baby daddy
Or a baby mama can I get a witness!
All my fellas: Yeah we don't care, it's lit!
Drowning all the pain in 100 shots of Henny babe, chase it with D'ussé, in case I still feel a need to pray
I don't talk to God, think it's starting to take a toll on me, watching my doomsday, through somebody else's Facebook feed, yeah!
Still waiting for that witness do you hear me?
Tired of all the likes, quotes, follows and the retweets
Pied Piper got us this time, man that nigga too sweet!
Desensitized to reality around me, oh no…

I wasn’t planning to release this song for a while as I feel it’s one of my stronger efforts musically, and some of my best material so I don’t like releasing those songs before their time. But due to some unforeseen circumstances, here it is.
