I’ve been drinking up my patience ever since the day it emptied into every move
Smoke and even out the forces sit with my endorphins playing with my fortitude
Verse 1: johdi
Stayed out and ate up the day, either got nothing or too much to say, hustle and bustle or comatose muscle, get to the point or be gettin to subtle, (yeah)
Beyond the feelings of failure, keep it one hun with myself I’ll be major, gotta do that for the people that aint here
Rudolph the reindeer I been through the fog
Verse 2: johdi
Fuck around tryna do the right thing, hunker down life’ll hit you with a mean swing
No more clowin, don’t cower in tight spots, I’m just hopin that you there when the mic drop
Think I’m more idea than man lately, never get a break cuz I think it’d break me
Face limitations, impatient, waitin it’s just not me, (yeah it’s just not me)
Hook 2: pilgrim
I’ve been drinking up my patience ever since the day it emptied into every move
Smoke and even out the forces sit with my endorphins playing with my fortitude
Break: johdi
Blood in my eyes, but I feel divine, yeah I feel divine, yeah yeah.
Verse 3: D’fish
Fragile just like paper, when you are honest, that's just my nature
Feel like I’m so fragile, just like paper, feel like I’m nothin but
Know that im somethin
Verse 4: johdi
Real talk, burned through my savings dawg, but that mean the life outta satan’s claws
Say money is god but the payment’s lost, for music a fiend can’t take withdrawals
Bank that the next bop pay this off, attention to detail, I only do me well, I really do mean well, but shit gettin mean while I feel wild
Outro: pilgrim
You’ll never see Berlin in the summer and lean out the window and say I love ya
I’d trade all my truths for a sliver of you light when it turns to gotham winter
