lyrics

So if you can hear this
Or you're watching this on a screen right now
That means you've tuned in to Skinny G Radio
And I mean shit
I can't thank you enough for doing so
I spent all this time and effort
Working on this thing that
Really in the grand scheme of things
Really won't mean anything
But that doesn't really necessarily mean
You shouldn't try to make it, so I

I built my room for squares
I have wrote my separation
Except I used to have other people singing for me
It was a, it, it was a back handed slap, right
For my perspective I can't define
It was my honest dear attempt
To just dissect the reason why it took
Me getting stuck inside of my own head
To be called out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind, and it sounds like

Okay, so there's that
But I think we could go deeper
In fact I think we should go deeper because really
The reality is, in this new world
We are gonna lose earnest people, truly
So I-I'm going to down with the earnest people
I've made that decision
I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna try it right now
Right? Okay, so

To those I love, I-I'm sorry
I'm sorry I'm not around more, you know?
I'm off doing what mama put me on this earth for
I walked out the front door
To build my own ground floor
Of what could be a brand new sound
Her kid was L.A. bound to be
A kingpin creator
A sonic translator
An introverted navigator
On the search for something greater
Claiming he don't need a savior
But "don't think you have to take yourself so seriously"
My mama says to me

Okay so that was deeper, for sure
But again, it's good
It's good to go deeper, right
It's a-It's a look behind the curtain, you know
Where's the wizard, is this Oz
I'm just a lion lurking
Looking to expose my claws
But my courage flaws
Keep putting me on pause
As I question the journey, but believe in the cause

I question the journey, but believe in the cause
Like look behind the curtain
Where's the wizard, is this Oz
I'm just a lion lurking
Looking to expose my claws
But my courage flaws
Keep putting me on pause
As I question the journey, but believe in the cause
Look behind the curtain
Where's the wizard, is this Oz
I'm just a lion lurking
Looking to expose my claws
But my courage flaws
Keep putting me on pause
As I question the journey, but believe in the cause
