Selassie Drah - Sob Stories

I hate to think I might've turned my life a tragic waste
So many nights I went to sleep hoping to die away
Major pain for minor gains, what's another day
Fakes came close, curse the day I caught the bait
At some point these sob stories do become the weight
A doobie or a nine, what's my duty in this space
I'm doing so much it's hard to track my every trace
Promise when they wake I'm charging tenfolds for the wait
At some point these sob stories do become the weight
That's why I show her how to freshen up and build her taste
Looking for a real man, that is not my place
I'm really real but real to y'all is really just a phase
That's why I talk to y'all in phases, never in the same places
She's only mine to keep on the dayshift
They never dare to call me shiesty, never could spite me
Cuz I keep it real even when they shift
How you a friend and jacking all I got for likes and props?
How you a friend and let your jealousy make you my opp?
How you a friend and capping all the time like I was stupid?
Fast life make 'em sell out but I seen 'em lose it
What's petty when you grown and think for yourself
And know that every time they stab it's tabs on they health
Tabs on they wealth, I don't do beefin' myself
I let the cowards cower till they rot inside their shells
At some point these sob stories do become the weight
I never understood when people said they walk with faith
Until I seen the hearts of men dig their own graves
I hope they say they grace before they meet they fate
You would think my girl was late the way I father y'all
And levitating is a habit, I can't knock it off
It's no surprise when one of yours wanna tag along
I always admired a woman when her wit is strong
How does it feel when your baby need me?
She rub it off, watch I pop out like a genie
She's getting acquainted and learning that I can be needy
I suggested a sick leave but the choice is hers to make indeed
I love to believe these are the results of my manifestations
I couldn't possibly fake it
Washed my sins so I'm back in the Lord's graces
Let's face it, I'm looking like I sit right where heaven's gate is
Can't believe I once never knew what faith is
Damn
At some point these sob stories do become the weight
An hour in and I still can't pronounce what's on my plate
Pretty girls treat a pretty boy to a date
Wishing Prince was alive cuz I got something to relate
Purple hearts for your bruised soul, I'm home
Feet gotta touch sand in Cairo
Too ambitious for the world, think I need nine globes
I seek what my eyes scope
Picture me settling cuz you told me "no"
Picture me treading light cuz you plotting still
I bought crystals just to help you heal
Rather die than let you call me fam then shoot me down
Thought I was lost till I figured out what made me drown
Used to tell her "leave" cuz I thought death was right around
Years in and I'm better than I was somehow
Ducking the lights and the crowds, knowing the power of now
Ducking attention and fame, knowing this love that I found
Knowing I'm making me proud, knowing there's something ahead
Even when it looks wild, knowing I'm blessed to be here
Knowing I'm destined for great even when they can't relate
Knowing I'm greatness personified in this human state
Knowing everything that I know about myself
It's quite a blasphemy if I ever think of me less
At some point these sob stories do become the weight
At some point these sob stories do become the weight
