lyrics

This the turnaround
Watch how we burn it down
We don’t need to be allowed
Beams up in the crowd
It started getting too loud
So I had to drown it out
Now all I can hear is rain
With my head up in this cloud
(Repeat)

This water under the bridge is quenching my thirst for now
but bet i’ma get grinding and work it out
I can feel the alignment and see the route
Thought so back then but im certain now
i’m just tryna keep my vibe higher than all of this bullshit
We bite the bullet right in half
Death try to run up and I might just laugh
Like “you ain’t real. Mufucka you ain’t real”
Say that’s just how I feel. Yeah. That’s just how I feel.
No Howie Mandell you already know the deal
tryna peel back the layers I don’t need no mass appeal
I ain’t tryna be a player I just know the game is real

This the turnaround
Watch how we burn it down
We don’t need to be allowed
Beams up in the crowd
It started getting too loud
So I had to drown it out
Now all I can hear is rain
With my head up in this cloud
(Repeat)

Peep it. Here go the secret.
You already got everything you needed
the moment that you think it
the work is to accept it
and bring it to fruition
your inner you know the route so
trust your intuition
let it go
let all that bullshit go
find some water for real and let that bullshit go
no stones around my neck so you know i float
I can’t affect your reality
only my own

This the turnaround
Watch how we burn it down
We don’t need to be allowed
Beams up in the crowd
It started getting too loud
So I had to drown it out
Now all I can hear is rain
With my head up in this cloud
(Repeat)
