Terrace Interlude

"I guess these are your thoughts at
3 o'clock in the morning. Staring out at the terrace"

[Verse 1: D'Shaun]

Clothes scented nicotine
Busy tryna live a dream
My waters boiling lately
Busy tryna raise my self esteem
Stress more than a seam
My life's all about the C.R.E.A.M
Never compared to Jesus
But do anything for my team
Laying on these train tracks
Wonder where my brain at
My homies out to steal
Pack the steel,uh stainless
Meanwhile I'm thinking hat tricks
How to work some magic
Poof into my dreams
Like abra cadabra
Feel so close
But I'm still so far
Closest people to ya
Don't know who you are
Windows down when
You in yo car
Hoping someone see you
And show you love
My parents ain't tripping
Cuz I made it to college
I spent a lot of time in high school
So my knowledge is polished
But I'm astonished to be honest
Why the hell am I modest
Cuz in my city full of artists
Swear to God I'm the hottest
But success brings hate
So I roll around the city
Knowing this waters deep
Hope I don't drown like Whitney
Hanging with fake friends
I'm numb to the feeling
Novacane for the pain
Channel Orange songs still hitting
Still facing insecurities
Clearly doing better
No matter how I act
I ain't got it all together
I'm grown now
C'mon now , old stuff I'm over
Tryna figure a quick plan
To put my shawty in the rover
Tryna make sure my mans
Don't gotta watch his shoulders
While still tryna make this music all
Rock like boulders
Close and I'm getting closer
Cold and it's get colder
Work and work over
And over , to fill these hungers
It seems
Me and you distant
But I feel connected
I gotta cut ya feelings out you like a C section
But
Ima keep writing
And they gone keep reciting
Cuz I know that they know
That I be the nicest
And you know what they don't
You know me like my moms do
Never got my French kiss
So I chase that fondue
I'm better than him
Just wait just wait just wait and you gon' watch me
I'm cold as rinks when it's hockey
Hot as the powder on some takis
Exalted high and anointed
My records wrote be so poignant
But I'm afraid and still scared
That no one will ever notice..
But man
I been working
And I been wishing..
I said, I been working
And I been wishing..
I been working
And I been wishing...
I said, I been working
And I been wishing
But I mean if
That don't work then..
Back to the kitchen
If that don't work then...
Back to the kitchen
If that don't work then..
Back to the kitchen
If that don't work then..
Back to the kitchen...
