The Cleanse

Verse 1:
Welcome to the race of a lifetime
Where we wanna be millionaires without a lifeline
Resorting to life of crime
Street cries of the ghetto, she didn’t wanna settle
Man, but put on them stilettos
And hit the street, kids gotta eat
Hunger pains growing
And presently the future’s unknowing
Live to die but I fight to love
I give my heart to those who in need because
I ain’t selfish
I can’t help it, I bleed for this earth
Conceived from the dirt
It hurt when they fell from grace
Lost angels turned demons
Searching for meaning, lust for convenience
‘cause nobody wanna work
Money is the root of all evil but what about the perks
This happiness got a layaway
There was fruit, I learned I gotta stay away
No emotion—the player way
That’s what I thought I had to do ’til I seen people fade away
That I care about so I did a cleanse
Now I’m tryna make amends
Yeah, I’m tryna make amends
Uh, it’s the cleanse

Verse 2:
I need a vacation, screw medication
Depending on drugs [?] regulations
Good gracious at thirteen, I was on four different things
Couldn’t tell you what they mean
All I know is it dealt with depression
Word? Y’all really got some nerve where here’s my suggestion
Listen, how ‘bout you actually try helping?
Ms Lockhart believed in me when nobody else did
Encouraged me to write, suddenly I felt it within
More than just a pen, it was spiritual
Years later Mega Ran helped me bring the visuals
To life like “Take On Me” a-ha
And he wasn’t tryna cake on me
I’m grateful truly, for real
‘cause growing up I was kinda unruly
What you expect from a child running wild in denial
Thinking the world owe him ‘cause he couldn’t reconcile
With his mom, on he wanna make amends
Start from scratch, we can go fiber cleanse
Start from scratch, we can both fiber cleanse
Start from scratch we can all have a cleanse
Yo, I’m just tryna make amends
This the cleanse

Refrain:
Life fogging up my lens
It might be time to make that cleanse
I made amends with all my friends
[?] can we try this one more ‘again? And

Life fogging up my lens
It might be time to make that cleanse
I made amends with all my friends
Can we try this one more ‘again? Yeah
