Okay, if you put your life in a bottle would it float?
Would you need a raft or would you need a boat?
Put it in a kite; moment when the wind blows
Would it fly high or just hit a window
I’ve been asking myself:
do I love what I see
staring right back at me?
Chasing after every image that I thought could be
Chasing after every gimmick just to hide what’s underneath
I’ve been out of touch
I’ve been out of luck
I’ve been staying up
I don’t pray enough
Said I’ll stop comparing
Now I stay numb
Achievement and cocaine’s
like the same drug
We have our whole lives planned out so we save up
On to the next one, but all these flavors we can’t savor
Look at this paper these certifications cannot save us
We stay drunk so full my cup with validation
I got everything
I got everything that I prayed for
matter fact I feel like I need more
What I really need is loving
I got everything
I got everything that I wanted
What I really want
I know I can’t afford it
What I really need is loving
Mhm~~ mhm~~
mhm~~ I need some loving
Mhm~~ mhm~~
mhm~~ I need some loving
Its hard to see
Cant believe I’ve been blinded by my zeal
All this time alone’s given me some time to heal
Hunkered down to get a grip of what I really feel
and that’s for real
What’s the deal with these vultures on the internet
Nothing’s real, just appeal then the winner gets
To be on top, issa vibe, make sure you collect
Monetize out your life, it’s an easy check
Until then just fake it ‘til you make it
and you’ll get there out in no time
Rep your set, talking less, get your money
go invest
If I follow every step
Guarantee that no regret
will enter in my head
that’s the pledge
that I made
In my bed
“Strong ones prey the weak”
but I’ve been learning
now I’m certain
that the strong ones are meek
All these bridges that I’m burning
Never saw the debris
I guess we’ll cross it when we get there
It ain’t bothering me
I got everything
I got everything that I prayed for
matter fact I feel like I need more
What I really need is loving
I got everything
I got everything that I wanted
What I really want
I know I can’t afford it
What I really need is loving
Mhm~~ mhm~~
mhm~~ I need some loving
Mhm~~ mhm~~
mhm~~ I need some loving
