[Intro]
Alright, alright
So we'll go: a one, a two
A one, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Did you pick up?
Did you pick up?
Man, did you pick up?
Man, you said that you would, man
Why you screwin' up? Like
Why you ain't livin'?
Why you ain't livin' with the stars that written?
Thought you said you knew your mission
You a star, why we yet to even see you glisten?
He was poppin', droppin' fire every day of the week
They were plottin', never stoppin' till the officer would blink
Ever since they are the world, they are hearin' me speak
Lately company that's wantin' me is company needs
[Bridge]
Everything was goin' so good, oh, so good
Caught up in what I need and what look good
'Cause the powers that be know I love my family
But I got that gift 'cause I see that every bit of the life is me
[Pre-Chorus]
Told me, "Dreaming is cool, but why you dream when we believin' you should do good school?"
Probably 'cause that readin' [?] to bein' a fool
Lifeguard and [other poses?], see me jump in the pool
[Chorus]
You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb
And hold me tight
Oh, you are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright
[Verse 2]
Talkin' 'bout words, talkin' 'bout rhythms
Talkin' 'bout music; man, that shit's my religion
Beats got me talkin' to God
Really talkin' to myself, but don't feel different at all
Is it one and the same?
Point of view due to my attitude these days
Wonderin' really what is truth these days
The criminal decides if the crime does pay
The life you live is the life you make
And I can't sleep right in this bed I made
Need the darkness I've been projectin' lifted, turn to protection
But I'm never happy where I am, damn, who woulda guessed it?
Always aimin' for the sky when I'm finally feelin' grounded
Quick to forget who I am in the air anywhere till I've landed
[Bridge]
So I think it's time that I grew up
To knew us, two years back nobody knew us
Had to play the game just to gain a bunch of new buds
EP summer for a team be the true us
[Chorus]
You are my one and only
And you can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb
And hold me tight
Oh, you are my one and only
You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb
And hold me tight
And you'll be alright

Sampling Ed Sheeran’s “Small Bump,” we revisit my song “Picking Up” in a way and analyze if I really did pick up when I had my shot. Sampling Ed Sheeran “Small Bump,” in a way I say goodbye to the style showcased in this album and the last four but let it be known the EP this summer will be my best...
