lyrics

Got a constant itch, I just stay annoyed. A product of habits I haven’t destroyed. They wreaking havoc on my focus. Hoping my efforts don’t let me slip into the void.
She really digging the boy:
Said that my smile’s so pure and it’s bringing her joy.
Singing my lyrics while she whip around, genuinely loving my sound.
On top of her mind, beauty and all of them curves, she might be the illest in town. More like the state. Hungry for more; why am I unsure of the soul food on my plate?
You say nothing I tell you could disappoint. Well let’s take a crack at it:
If I told you I was a bipolar, ex porn addict, that wouldn’t be tragic?
And you would ride, right by my side, while I justify and work thru the madness? And I could do everything I can to listen to, love, give you all you imagine?
Can’t say I buy it, but the problem is:
I won’t even give you a chance to try it.
Break through to layers I’m ashamed to mention. More prone to stiff arm your best intentions.
These defenses ain’t perfect, but it’s all know. I’m still working...
On the freedom to love every part of my being, ‘cause all l these flaws gave me verses.
And all them bars gave me purpose.
All this time made it certain:
Shine this light of mine, help you find yours till we brighter than the sun’s surface. Burning my—

(Hook)
HABITS.
Imma shut you out. Believe me, I care, but I bear the weight of these
HABITS.
Imma eat the pain alone. Only way to cope. Rope a dope with these
HABITS.
My antidote’s in this ink. I right/write on the brink of killing these
HABITS.
We done came too far. We don’t wish on stars, just grinding hard. It’s our
HABIT.
I can’t quit on what I love: that just my Habit.
See it and know what I want. I gotta have it.
Lately feeling like my own worst enemy.
Praying my better nature will set me free.

(Verse 2)
Habits no longer haunting.
That’s liberation, baby I want it.
That great reception: I found my calling.
We’re born to make it. Put a billion on it.
Spread love like coronavirus.
Don’t see the uppercuts, but we all fighting demons. Most people hide em;
Area 51 with no confiding. Pray you kill em while they’re undersized, or they won’t stop growing like ‘Dre the Giant.
Do or do not, there’s no trying.
Bout time I took my own advice.
Embrace my vices, no more lying.
Find the love I needed all along.
But never ending my favorite habit:
Talking to you in every song.
