Lyrics:
[Chorus]
Follow my instincts
Monday to Wednesday
Life is a mystery
What do my FRIENDS think?
Some cowards kneel but
They never feel us
They almost killed us
And I’m still here bruh
[Verse 1]
Why you even pay rent, when you don’t get out the bed?
Tryna own my problems mostly cause I live in my head
I’m tryna fix up my relations, I still gamble with stress
I don’t wanna drive you crazy over something I said
In my mind I got it all and still I hang by a thread
In these streets they take your life becuase of something you said
Pour some liquor out, I figured out where differences dread
Could’ve hit the trap, in fact you hit this music instead
Foreign visions got me distant from my people again
I hug the block, so a nigga never needed no friend
I don’t validate, I’m tired and least you my mans
I don’t mean to disappoint, I tried the best that I can
My cousin put me on, I had the metal rest in my hands
He want the drop, so I had to hit the plug in advance
Homey know this day is coming if you hustling grands
This a dirty game, be cautious when exposing them Stans
[Verse 2]
Shellcases, scattered by them police stations
My occupations, rap niggas try to test my patience
I’m out of flagrant, mitosis to assimilation
I’m out of coast I touch down it’s more than simulation
I count my blessings like they currency or bank statements
Don’t ask so clueless, best suited for the affidavit
The new messiah, the goliath when you ask for David
You ask for anything, believe it’s just reciprocated
[Chorus]
Follow my instincts
Monday to Wednesday
Life is a mystery
What do my FRIENDS think?
Some cowards kneel but
They never feel us
They almost killed us
And I’m still here bruh
[Verse 3]
How the fuck you say you gang, if you around me and not notice that I’m drained?
Take advantage of my pain
All the the same, how the fuck you say my dog, you know my loyalty won’t let me cut you off?
I done seen my hands bleed from tryna plant seeds, what your bands mean when they matter in the grand scheme?
What do my friends think?
Please forgive me for the times that I act distant, that just means I’m feeling closer to my ending
Tell em catch me in the wind, whoa
Out of range but you still find a way, shoot me from a mile away then go back to your hideaway
Find it strange you don’t know why why I still care
I aint mad, I’m jealous that you unaware, I kinda think that shit unfair
Save me from the darkness I see
Cause I won’t at home til I’m free
Save me from the darkness I see
Cause I won’t at home til I’m free
