Only, only, only
Only, only, you
Only, only, only
Only, only, only
Still here, only God knows why, still here
Only God knows why (only God knows why)
Dreams of a beach with a house behind (huh, house behind)
Deep thought on the speed of life
Sun's in perfect reach each time (time)
Then I wake up clean to a different light (light, light, light)
And I see problems, jump and hide (hide, hide)
I can't see trapdoors in my mind
Blurry signs that I can't define
Like predicting movements ahead of time
Projectiles coming from my side
Projectiles coming for my life
War-zone when I close my eyes
La-la-la, it's fingers in my ears, I was not tryna hear
I'm moving on faith and faith only
Desires crush me numb, I would chase and then some
From love, I would run like it's just here to disown me
That's why I keep my distance even if I miss it
Wire me the wisdom to pick up when it phones me
Take my body for a walk, call somebody just to talk
Take the mic and press record and speak the truth only
Only, only, only
Only, only, only, you
Only, only, only
Only, only, only, you
I was chasing highs, oh, on diagonal
Started lookin' down, like, where the middle go?
I been on this grind, like it's gonna break my fall
Careerism pothole, like, where my loved ones go?
Obedient, blindly, I trust you and you know
I don't wanna judge, but I need to save my soul
I question your priorities isn't in this boat
Wired to a system, born into a code
Has a way of keeping self-esteem on the low
Bettin' on myself like, how wise is this hope?
Bettin' on myself like, how wide is this hole?
You tell me it's the wrong choice
You tell me it's the wrong choice, but I
La-la-la, it's fingers in my ears, I was not tryna hear
I'm moving on faith and faith only
Desires crush me numb, I would chase and then some
From love, I would run like it's just here to disown me
Only, only, only
Only, only, only, you
Only, only, only
Only, only, only
Only, you
Only, only, only
Only, only, only
Only, you
Only, only, only
Only, only, only
