Sayin' that you need some time alone
'Cause I really don't know how to be reckless
What if this structured life is what keeps me goin'?
'Cause if you think that I'm gon' break, you don't understand me
Uh, understand me
I hold myself, it ain't much, you're just thinkin' too deep
Yeah
Thinkin' too deep
I know you're uncertain 'bout where it all leads
The weight on my shoulder ain't nothin' on me
What if this structured life is what keeps me goin'?
Priorities
Priorities got a hold on me
Dualities
Wanna give all of me. Did I give all of me?
Tried to keep in touch
You need clarity. Did I give clarity?
Maybe I don't see
What's in front of me
Mami got her head up, I roll up the roll up
Ten toes like I told ya, I move like a soldier
Want me to lay up, rich bitches don't sleep
Can't put it on me 'less you tryna sign a pre
What's it take?
Ain't no time to waste
Do I play it safe?
Hopin' we can find another way through
I'm just tryna do the right thang, ooh
Cards are on the table
'Cause if you think that I'm gon' break, you don't understand me
Uh, understand me
I hold myself, it ain't much, you're just thinkin' too deep
Yeah
Thinkin' too deep
I know you're uncertain 'bout where it all leads
The weight on my shoulder ain't nothin' on me
What if this structured life is what keeps me goin'?
Priorities
Priorities got a hold on me
Dualities
Wanna give all of me. Did I give all of me?
Tried to keep in touch
You need clarity. Did I give clarity?
Maybe I don't see
What's in front of me
Throw that, that, throw that back
Throw that, that, throw that back
Priorities
Priorities got a hold on me
Dualities
Wanna give all of me. Did I give all of me?
Tried to keep in touch
You need clarity. Did I give clarity?
Maybe I don't see
What's in front of me
