Always moved to the beat of my own drum since the holidays in 95
I was 9 watching my uncle in the church choir
Thinkin how can I be a part of it
It's funny when we age pick a path & then ponder the start of it
I had me a starter fit
The full zip jacket wit the star on the back
I'm in the front yard steppin like I'm Prime Time
And I can tell you that I got to be a kid & grow up fast at the same time it's a thin line between love & hate
That was 96 & we left GA, I ain't been settled down since
Them holidays taught me what a family really is
Some people gon love you if they don't don't take offense
They just people tryna shuffle the cards they didn't pick
To play at a table where they had clearly overbid
My grandma favorite answer was just pray about it
I had to heal before these traumas was a trending topic
You gotta learn to keep your mind busy
I tried to lie & go to war like them lil drummer boys in the 1860's
OG said this ain't yo business
I think about those no longer here every Christmas
Tryna be totally aware word to Khrisnamurti
I claim my baggage when them thoughts to blame somebody surface
And I'mma try to teach my nephew how to carry on
A new born king to see rum pa pum pum
This the time of year you rest up or get in ya zone I choose the latter
but balance starts to creep in the fold when I'm in traffic
I see these people traveling home and I start asking/Myself if I'm too focused on goals
So I just try to check in, no matter what I'm facing
Even if the feelings ain't reciprocated
The only guarantee I've seen is the deposit from the venue
And even that depends on if ya paperwork got sent through
It's always gon be more opportunities to get to
But tell me who you are when that's all you can contribute to the conversation
Let's share our love for each other while we got time to say it
Let's teach ya cousin some spades while she got time to play it
I know the vibe ain't what it used to be
But this better than preparing another eulogy
For somebody we know & they just drifted off too foolishly
Cause these days is moving faster than they usually
