Washington square

[Intro]
Let it ride, I'ma let it ride
Just let it ride, and I’ma

[Verse 1]
Take it back, to the summer
Remember all the vibes in the winter, it was a bummer
When I used to be, a lil' stunner
Mountain in my view and then I turn into a runner
I turn away from what I need to do to what I wanna
I be using 10% power out of a hunna
Bring the beat back in, I'm ’bout to gun it
Bicking in the barracks, I drift off and start to wonder
If I could survive when the ocean do pull me under
I'm watching the waves roar and crackle with the thunder
Gray and black's the only things I see as far as color
I'm trying my best but my effort is in the gutter

[Chorus]
I'm all by my lonesome on the quietest of nights
Empty in the city, so it's just me and the lights
Don't wanna admit it, but my head ain't feeling right
Can’t look at the sky because the glory way too bright
Talking shop with all the ghosts I carry from before
Chopping off my friends so now it’s just me on my own
Say I got it figured out but really I don't know
Hold onto the Rock, my only hope

[Verse 2]
Messing with the past
You gon’ have a problem if you messing with me, man
Feeling kinda different now that I got me a plan
Plus I got a job so I been running up my bands, huh
Been around squares like all my life so what's my shape?
I don't even really have a form like nowadays
I don't even know what I wish for like nowadays
I know that I gotta bow and pray, though
Talking to my angel, reframing my angles
I guess I got a problem with figuring when to say no
Basic like I’m Rachel, my friends all fit a label
And me, I fit the stereotype millennial unable
To make a better path, with privilege full in my hands
I wanna dance and take a stand
And see Japan and be a man, yeah
But I'm just a kid with dreams of little chance to see
'Cause I know that the dream I'm dreaming isn't free

[Chorus]
I'm all by my lonesome on the quietest of nights
Empty in the city, so it's just me and the lights
Don't wanna admit it, but my head ain't feeling right
Can't look at the sky because the glory way too bright
Talking shop with all the ghosts I carry from before
Chopping off my friends so now it's just me on my own
Say I got it figured out but really I don't know
Hold onto the Rock, my only hope

[Verse 3]
Hey God, I know that we haven't talked
In a lil' while, I'm just scared to tell you what's been on my mental
All my sins are stinking up my soul like menthol
I know that this life is rental
You still coming through to save me in my darkest days
Even when I shame Your name and quickly turn away
Even when I break Your heart and spit upon Your face
Your grace is still enough to cover up all my mistakes
I confess and I repent, I'm weaker in my faith
I wanna talk to You but I can't find the words to say
I know You know what I got in my heart and in my brain
In the dead of night, Your light is sunnier than May

[Chorus]
I'm all by my lonesome on the quietest of nights
Empty in the city, so it's just me and the lights
Don't wanna admit it, but my head ain't feeling right
Can't look at the sky because the glory way too bright
Talking shop with all the ghosts I carry from before
Chopping off my friends so now it's just me on my own
Say I got it figured out but really I don't know
Hold onto the Rock, my only hope
