No, I'm not in Cinderella land Barely keep myself still, it's gettin' out of hand Like I'm in New York with my people sniffin' out a van Or I'm in Boston with Cadeen, shout out Mattapan I try to take it with a grain of salt But all that ever did was make me hate it all *** your contract, turn it to a paper bowl Best believe I hold it down when I'm takin' off I'll be your protection I'll be there from day one Paid the bet when you're gone Deeper than connection We attached with no strings I know I miss your big show But I'll be at the next one And I'll be your protection Have you ever seen a real thing? Did it scare you? Go ahead and tell me everything, I double dare you Next step from the screen time In the meantime, *** with me I guarantee you'll really learn a thing or two Have you ever seen a real thing? Did it scare you? Go ahead and tell me everything, I double dare you Next step from the screen time In the meantime, *** with me I guarantee you'll really learn a thing or two Knees weak, arms heavy and my head hurts Know I been runnin' through your mind all day long Legs tired, mind wide, feel my chest burst open I'm just tryna get into your net We're hopin' they don't throw you off Try and show you off It's only touch, but it's only us It feels better with you It feels better with you I'll be your protection I'll be there from day one Paid the bet when you're gone Deeper than connection We attached with no strings I know I miss your big show But I'll be at the next one I'll be your protection I pull right up to my dog's crib The music I can show him Then I pull up to my mom's crib Give her a shoulder to cry on It's like the older I get, the more people rely on In this world I'm a speck, in my city a icon I see potholes and assholes And don't you know this one that I know Is that there's more to life than this *** I just hope that I can spread a little life right there This for those who gained from a misconnection When disappointment arises, it's also the chance for a lesson Eyes fixed on where you're destined But look down that first step, the biggest investment Think about my 10,000 hours And can't remember my first But my mother remind It all started at birth You ain't in Paul's design It's been stars where you learned So, don't pay yourself mind Cause with earth as my witness I've been my biggest heckler It's waste my own faith But was never lost to the shepherd Universal laws protected the claws in my texture Even made promises to myself I ain't noticed for better Sense of judgment with a sense of abundance Oh, I'm sleeping in tents for others I'm destined for something Yeah, I'm destined for something
