Poison Ivy

While I tiptoe through my adolescence
Getting bumps and scrapes and stitches with no anesthetics
They say they love the songs I make but they don't have to get it
They say they'd love to pick my brain if it was half as present
They kinda right tho
Shooting through my goals with iron sights like I'm a rifle
You can love the sad kid but it's just a title
I write for the times when I'll rival my idols
Make all my towers Eiffel

Wait that one don't make sense

I'm childish at heart cause I'm still just a kid
It's no excuses but I'm use to pissing off all my friends
I couldn't do it if it weren't for all the balance that stands
So if I'm not working my hands to the bone I'm boning my hand
It's like this path I have to walk has poison ivy
So I'll get bumps and cuts from all the memories I leave behind me
And get scars from all the things that didn't heal enough to forget
And yet my mom raised me a fighter so I'll just keep on forging
No regrets

They say, they say, they say, maybe I'll find a way soon
They say, they say, they say, maybe I'll find a way soon
What they say, what they say what it sound like?
They say, they say, they say, maybe I'll find a way soon
They say, they say, they say, maybe I'll find a way soon
What they say, what they say what it sound like?
They say, they say, they say, maybe I'll find a way soon
They say, they say, they say, maybe I'll find a way soon

Momma told me don't go playing in no poison grass (she did!)
If I'm not home before the light comes she goin whoop my (I'ma beat yo ass)
Naw I'm just playing she never ever had to raise her hand
I felt hurt from the second I could've made her mad
See this that high school rap, get it (what?), I'm talking backpack
Might've brought boom bap back but I'd rather not back track
I done been using my racks to try and help dads cash
So if I'm not flexing it's cause I learned it's where the hearts it
Good thing my name's still Benjamin
To keep it frank I still need way too much help listening
Old white folks just want me tired like the Michelin man
So I can never fit these labels that they own in my attention span
Soon they'll wish I can

They say, they say, they say, maybe I'll find a way soon
They say, they say, they say, maybe I'll find a way soon
What they say, what they say what it sound like?
They say, they say, they say, maybe I'll find a way soon
They say, they say, they say, maybe I'll find a way soon
What they say, what they say what it sound like?
They say, they say, they say, maybe I'll find a way soon
They say, they say, they say, maybe I'll find a way soon
