manic tl - hard goodbyes lyrics

[manic tl]
yo, i write all of my verses on three tracks
and live by the g+dub with vic marr, and three cats
fill syringes so strong the fiends only squeeze half
i’m pretty happy ‘long as i got a counter to drink at

i sink back, scribble my thoughts, and clink glass
with every one of my selves, enough that we’re all trashed
a hundred ten fahrenheit under my ball cap
everybody sends me raps, but they’re usually all cap

okay. i try to pay my mind to nothing but the mirror
got myself kinda convinced it would help me to see it clearer
got me veering off the street, but instead of crashing i’m floating
finding my inner+mе and i’m mending where i donе broken

i know life’s a marathon and peace don’t get made overnight
i been a king, i been a vagabond, it’s how you hold the light
it’s ’bout the road we build to travel on, not ’bout the farthest sight
i’ve been attached to so many futures it’s hard to see the signs

i redefined a lot of what i thought it meant to be
and i learned what’s meant to be all surfaces eventually
instead of trying to cut the lock, i’m scouting where i left the key
so, when i send a prayer in the air it’s sounding less like a plea
don’t follow me, don’t follow nothing but heart
even leaders that really lead leave everything in the dark
and to re+write your ending, you gone need to start at the start
i find i learn to understand sh+t just to pick it apart

okay, we’re all the same pretending we play more important roles
you’re hood until you catch a case, then you’re singing like norah jones
it’s a sin to overwrite the stanzas just to shorten poems
i justify by saying ‘long as i’m alive, there’s more to go

and ‘long as business lives there’s always something more to roll
i’m quintessential new york city, i appeal to foreign hoes
i could brick and mortar just to brick the door and keep it closed
but i prefer not forcing fate, i tend to wade the way it flows

i been ten toes down and proved wrong
packed what i knew best and set sail to move on
(when) you finally find yourself and stop dwelling on who’s gone
you’ll realize you’re so strong you could probably lose more

i’m trying to form something out of what for me has been living h+ll
but i can’t find the change, and that’s the secret to the wishing well
i’m trying to mature enough to do nothing but wish you well
and say i know one day we’ll both feel better than the way we felt

we could tell, even then, that we deserved a better life
you learn you need a hand to lend when no one is left to give advice
i willed a change, second guessed, but doubled down, and said it twice
rearranged into my rightful sp+ce and found a brighter light
and at my highest height i breathe and feel that i’m okay
don’t sound like much to say, but for my life, that’s been a world away
if i could talk to me when i was young, i’d just say “keep your faith
’cause you won’t make your place until you climb through even steeper days”

i’m destined to lay foundations, i’m destined to leave this place
i couldn’t even say where i’m going, but i’m gone lead the way
ima walk another million miles, and i’m gone keep the pace
i couldn’t even say what i’ll change, but ima make something change

[outro + fay allure]
