JUST MAYBE

[Intro]
Yeah
Look

[Verse 1]
I like saying I'm okay when I know that I'm not
I'm deflecting every question
When you ask how I'm doing, I ain't stressing, no pressure, I just give it to God
I'm a mess, but I'm flowing, need a Swiffer to mop
I deal with a lot, it multiply the pressure to pop
Down to the T, turnin' my ego to EGOT
Debated on pots and pans, know my pride is shot
Can't even afford for me to give up now, here's what I got
Just maybe

[Chorus]
Maybe if I never really cared
Or maybe if I sounded sincere
Just maybe
Maybe if I wasn't so dope
Or maybe if I doubted myself and wasn't sure
Just maybe
Maybe if they stayed ten toes
Maybe through the hurt, learned better ways to cope
Just maybe
Maybe if I didn't have to grieve how it was
I could learn how to fill my cup
Look, just—

[Verse 2]
Maybe I put too much into being real
And not enough into being ill
I could balance the scales, I could aim for more appeal
But the feeling I'm gettin' is so chill
Cold shoulders like boulders on a hill
When it all falls down, I'm prayin' we not here
I pray we moved on, left the bullshit in the rear
I got fears of the man in the mirror
I've been stuck, but so far from up
I wanna ball like Snow in Tha Bluff
I wanna ball like Charles Barkley, bruh
But I'm feeling off like Gnarls Barkley, crazy
Maybe what's theirs ain't meant to be mine
And maybe what's mine ain't meant to be yours
Maybe if we all ain't dream of being stars
We could all see the stars are us, just above
Just maybe

[Chorus]
Maybe if I never really cared
Or maybe if I sounded sincere
Just maybe
Maybe if I wasn't so dope
Or maybe if I doubted myself and wasn't sure
Just maybe
Maybe if they stayed ten toes
Maybe through the hurt, learned better ways to cope
Just maybe
Maybe if I didn't have to grieve how it was
I could learn how to fill my cup
Yeah, just maybe

[Outro: Cousin Uey]
Growing hurts
Success look like failure at first
The best things happen when things are at their worst
And we're cursed with the gift and gifted with the curse
Through the fire, I was with you
With the water, I convict you
From tragedy to triumph
God and self is what to rely on
We go through hell to reach Zion
