‘The Reason (Come Along)’

Verse 1:
From the roota to the toota, routine an' the reason
Li'l buddy here we go, new journey, just breezin'
{-} I bring you closer to observe, hope it's pleasin'
This be how I operate: loaded, cocked an' squeezin'
{-} I been hankerin', thirstin', eager for my increase
Always roll dolo, but it feels like I'm ten deep
Guess it's 'cause I have so many facets
Flows got curves like the hips on Angie Bassett
So what's love got to do wit' it? E'rythang
Admiration go a long way, that very thang
I be prayin' for, cryin' 'bout an' grumblin'
I put time into my art— me no mumblin'
{-} Don't do no mafioso, trap mumbo jumbo
Just remain centered, stand tall like Mutombo
Even when they on my case like Columbo
I still write— damn the odds like I'm Trumbo

Hook(x1):
Follow me, come along, group up or come alone
From the darkest abyss, to heavens where sun is shone
Exclusive on the bars –for which son is known
Museum of my mind, exhibits that set the tone
From my rage to despair, lethargy an' flair
For me? No limits, take my skills anywhere
In bliss, but aware, {-} never lose sight
About speakin' my heart, only reason I write

Verse 2:
If the– sun don't shine, guarantee I'm still vivid
If the– moon don't show, I will still be luminous
If you– gimme the world, I will still be livid
No– reprieve for my soul, all I do is fuss
An' that can be hard to tolerate, rants an' rambles
Bitterness an' obsession from a mind in shambles
Much– disarray, barely know which-a-way
Fuck it— flip the fuck out, Eddie, pick a day
Gon' 'head, scare 'em off, make 'em sick an' annoyed
Buckle from anxiety, sink quick in the void
Better– if they detest you an' quickly avoid
E'ry message or call, now you densely paranoid
Wonderin' if they held that– loathin' from jump
Possibly they found pity, saw you as a chump
Pro'lly why they never, ever, ever act right
Fuck it, let it out, on all those who backbite

Verse 3:
You put my heart in a vice, then squeezed 'til it's pulverized
Made me cry tears, now the pieces are emulsified
Snatched the breath from my lungs, had me lookin' dumb
{-} Now who is there to run to when the cookie crumbs?
The ball been in my court, but I got rookie thumbs
Wish I had-a been the one to make your cookie thrum
Say I got that gaslight, so your cookie shunned
All a nigga advances, got me lookin' stunned
(Wanna put) Black lives that matter in your beautiful womb
Toil hard, labor fruit of the +loom+
Now all +fates+ have changed, notarized by Clotho and Lachesis
Apologies just a part of my thesis
We apart but I'm beastin', found my confidence again
Thought I'd never ever see it, felt like dust in the wind (In the wind)
{-} Maybe that's the reason why you drifted far away
Got me in my feelin's, tryna tell 'em amscray
