The Cure
[Verse 1]
Looking out a window from the inside
Of my head what I had in mind?
Is it recess, or recession?
Bit worried 'cause I ain't stressing
One side saying, "we gon' hit a incline"
One side saying, "we are in the end time"
In the middle of the match where I been fine
I ain't confined, I was left in
If it's out of my control, I ain't stressing
Only cutting from the cloth I was dressed in
Well groomed in a room full of best men
Gray suits tryna train me not to question
On average, I'm the exception
Run the math if it's anything less than
If the path get blocked even one time
No conspiracy can tell me what it meant then
So what's next then, I'ma keep it moving, I got no choice
Representing for the weak of us with no voice
Rich enough to be protected by who elected
And Black enough to be respected but still messed with
Pulled over in a Buick or a Rolls Royce
5'9" to 6'3" they gon' feel threatened
Your fragility is sitting under your weapon
You ain't hard, you just cappin' 'cause you so moist
[Bridge]
More than one thing tryna kill me (yea)
More than one name tryna bill me (yea)
Keep my hands clean, 'less we talking 'bout riches
That's the only thing that's filthy (yea)
Nothing left in this life left untainted
Upcharge for the pure so we cut raw
Here's an app of some people you can complain with
Rest assured
[Chorus]
I'm the pros, I'm the cons
I'm the hope, and the harm
I'm relief or belief
Here to leave you in the storm
Throw the raft, throw the leash
What you need is what you form
Round your neck, on your arm
Just keep calm
Rest assured, it's the cure
[Verse 2]
Everybody got a way of coping
Talk about it, have a sip, smoke it
You can tell it's serious when I be downplaying
More scared when I be joking
Looking for a fix and I'm hoping
Both knees on the ground, praying
Would I even hear it when spoken
Fear more familiar than faith is
I'ma stop looking for an answer
Search inside how to make it
Media delivering the breakdown
And when it break down, I can take it
Tell me something that I wanna hear
Like can you find a new replacement
Babylon lying off top
I'ma take it back to the basement
I could lose it all found laying in a gutter
Get it all back, that's word to my mother
Comfy in the county where it's really all Black
Chilly in the city where it's getting off color
Never made it rain, I can save a long rack
On a rainy day, I know how to take cover
Let it all flood I'ma swim it on back
I ain't made of iron, I'm just braver than the others
Life don't love you but it love to come test
But if you love life, you can get the wrong number
If you go under learn to take a long breath
Wait it on out, come back with a flex
Looking for a hand, all I ever got was steps
Walked on once, now I walk on quest
I could walk on water, I could walk on set
My drip game only thing wet
[Chorus]
I'm the pros, I'm the cons
I'm the hope, and the harm
I'm relief or belief
Here to leave you in the storm
Throw the raft, throw the leash
What you need is what you form
Round your neck, on your arm
Just keep calm
Rest assured, it's the cure
