If there’s beauty in the struggle then I’m gorgeous
A few deep in the rental and we headed to NY
Supporting slot, before they start
I gotta get good vibes
Calm my nerves, sipping some zen chai
Please don’t bother me in the green room
Smoke is in the air, lookin more like a steam room
Spoken from my lips, “God save me from free-doom”
I swear ever since, the shit is heaven-sent
He closed the deficit
I gotta represent
The night’s winding down lemme take you home
Fur, perfume, breath, sweat, cologne
Tell your girls that you gone, baby we both grown
You should know by the end of the song
If not you, know a shawty come along, you can tell what she on
Guess the wave that strong
Guess the wave that strong
(Pass the baton, pass the baton — c’mon)

This year I lost a couple women friends to bad impulse
Type of shit that made me question if we was that close
Was I just tryna hit the skins?
It’s many on my mind
Like Minnie Riperton
I rip the pack, she hit the note
Her ex must have been impotent
Cause ain’t nobody do it like this
What’s a imitation?
To me an indication
Nobody fuckin wit him
I strike, no hesitation
I’m jamming Mint Condition
Your favorite rapper fiction
I swear
Ain’t nobody do it like this
I’m from that generation
Of over-saturation
And useless information
Faulty idolation
But if you got it then you got it, nigga just be patient
Sho’ you right

I hit the spliff and wonder if my life has gone adrift
For what it’s worth, I made a promise not to waste the gift
But when I use the gift, I lose all my relationships
Still haven’t seen my dad a month after his accident
Still haven’t seen my girl, she working on her fashion shit
Some months interning with Solange and now she cashing in
Sending attachments, showing me that she passionate
Long distance and splitting difference, that’s just the half of it
I have to spit and sing and write so I can stay alive
This dedicated to my fans who stayed right by my side
Somebody told me my music saved them from suicide
I said shit me too
Whatever it takes to make sure you get through
