lyrics

[VERSE 1]
I let the light in, I heard the sun talking to me, words was inviting
I journey through my days so I afford a couple nights in
Pressure been on my conscience, my thoughts opposing the nicest
My prose was covered in diamonds and glitter
Sweet life, can’t have my bro looking bitter
Can’t have my heart up in shambles, I hold the heart of winner
Heart of a lion for real, I stomach fawn just for dinner
Sending shivers down her spine, I felt the vertebrae quiver
Mines is stiff as the drinks that be crowding my liver
Crown me as king, all for nothing if I cannot deliver
I don’t mean to disappoint, my toxins run through a filter
Talking too often got my psyche dry, I’m far from the river
Nodding astonished, as what’s passing for some conversation
I’ve been preaching, looking foreign to my congregation
Suppose we searching for some deeper sorts of soul relation
My sword a pencil forged for medium of my vocation

[CHORUS]
All that glitters isn’t gold, what you stacking from the floor
To the ceiling? pretty penny - if you need it let me know
All that glitters isn’t gold, what you stacking from the floor
My vocation did me favours when it led me to your soul
All that glitters isn’t gold, what you stacking from the floor
To the ceiling? pretty penny - if you need it let me know
All that glitters isn’t gold, what you stacking from the floor
My vocation did me favours when it led me to your soul

[VERSE 2]
Look I’m roaming where the wild things at
Since I ain’t trying to go to sleep, my mind won’t let me relax
My head heavy, lead in me, lessons kept me intact
But still it’s scars running deep and boulders strapped to my back
And bags underneath my eyelids, blues pooling from my iris
They ain’t had a clue, it’s news to see as cruel as I get
I digress, it’s too many issues that I could dissect
We time pressed, and I ain’t got patience to teach this dialect
