Message To Self

[Intro:]
Yea man, it's your boy uh... T Mac

Uhm

Mxm

*sigh*

[Hook:]
Stuck in the same moment, repetitively
I know that you really want that, but please don't tempt me
I'm constantly falling into the same abyss
I know that I really want that (but)
I know that I really want this (so...)
What'you gonna do young blood
Are you gonna drown in the flow of your own flood
A message to self
Write down a message to help
Before your'e a victim riding high hanging by yourself

[Verse 1:]
Hanging by myself
Hanging by yourself
We might be different now (what?)
But we both needed help
And I'm just like... chilling in this burning veld
I got caught up in my fears and couldn't free myself
Stuck in the same place, or at least moving at the same pace
'They' say that I'm black so I gotta move fast but I keep screaming 'homie this ain't race'
This is just another message to self; stay in your own lane
In fact get of the road before you become your own bane (skrr skrr)
They say that you're alright
A 'young handshake' and it's all tight
But really they can't see the water coming out
Look up and into my own eyes (look up and x4)
Look up and into my own eyes
I see my smile in the reflection but it's just 'smoke and mirrors', right?
I really don't know
Gotta take water but I really won't go (he thirsty)
My soul says 'yes' but my heart says 'no'
So thirsty but it just won't show (he thirsty)
I just got lost in the ink of my words while I struggled to find myself
Stuck in a place without a signal but this is a message to self

[Hook:]
Stuck in the same moment, repetitively
I know that you really want that, but please don't tempt me
I'm constantly falling into the same abyss
I know that I really want that (but)
I know that I really want this (so...)
What'you gonna do young blood
Are you gonna drown in the flow of your own flood
A message to self
Write down a message to help
Before your'e a victim riding high hanging by yourself

[Verse 2:]
Let me be honest with you; the world is not your friend
But people who hold you down, those you should befriend
This is a message to self sent from 'different ends'
Being real makes you realize and comprehend
Just another young blood with innocent hands in the system
The blood of innocent hands caught the demands of the mistress
And the man whom she misses
Got caught up in the pictures
But I guess it figures that the young blood stuck reminiscing (rah rah)
'I wish I could do this my own way'
But that's what they all say
Got my hands in the air and knees on the floor while I'm praising YHWH (Amen)
Tryna surrender it all day
But conflicting serenity's always
Constricting my mind like a small space (wooohh)
In the time of a hallway
Repeatedly stressing 'bout feeling the blessing of one man that's constantly stretching out
Time is a lesson and I want the essence to learn what I'm constantly stressing 'bout (yes)
I just got lost in the ink of my words while I struggled to find myself (Mac)
Projecting my voice over millions of 'herds' but this is a message to self

[Hook:]
Stuck in the same moment, repetitively
I know that you really want that, but please don't tempt me
I'm constantly falling into the same abyss
I know that I really want that (but)
I know that I really want this (so...)
What'you gonna do young blood
Are you gonna drown in the flow of your own flood
A message to self
Write down a message to help
Before your'e a victim riding high hanging by yourself

[Outro:]
