If and only

[Intro]
"Man is born a mortal being and we all mistakes
It's part of the game."
"It's hard for me to accept making mistakes like this."
"Then, you can choose to suffer
That's all part of the experience of mortal life."
"Oh yeah, mortal"

[Verse]
Used to kick fly shit, cause I was on some fly shit
Now I'm on some do or die
29, just starting to feel alive shit
Mind a mosh pit
Heard my chemicals out of balance
I’ve been walking the line since
Hit my first L on sunrise westbound at 16
Thoughts left benign
Home to momma with demon eyes
Life without meaning til you learn to see the signs
Sometimes you make do with what you find
Back in high school
Daydreaming ‘bout a girl who smokes weed and bumps Wu
Found one who likes Tribe, calls me out on my bullshit
Got my back. She don't ask when to come through
Holds me down like the real ones do
It’s the times, it’s the times - got me watching my health
I started making my decisions in stealth
Mouth closed, eyes open
Thoughts different than the child that I was
Found the less I hold onto, the less I give up

[Chorus]
The less I hold onto, the less I give up
Let it pass, let it pass
Just to feel it enough

[Verse]
It’s a cold place
Regardless I'm always steady with the hold
Let it burn from that low praise
I was submarine to their wave through the dog days
Now I maneuver through chatter like
“Hey batter, batter”
I might hit it like Pablo, Pete Wheeler when I go
Used to hop fences to get away from the 5-0
Homies on their skater shit, me I couldn't skate for shit
Just wanted to take part
Years before I made art
Expression of self or a lesson in self reflection?
Still rolling logs, neglecting that text message
Chill with the talk while making that first impression
But I ain't trying to impress, nah these are confessions
Live with a weight on my mind, yeah them heavy heavy thoughts
Taking losses like a knight, three up and two across
Redefinition of trust, the peace of mind is a plus
The less i hold onto, the less i give up

[Chorus]
The less I hold onto, the less I give up
Let it pass, let it pass
Just to feel it enough
