Lyssa True Poet - Fast Forward

I take you through parts of my life
Short days long nights
My story got me cold as ice
I only melt on the mic
Yeah, I only melt on the mic
It was never a lot
But always enough
My daddy walked me to the middle of the streets
To make my skin tough
Like which way you going
Direction better know it
Emotion got me beatings
I learned not to show it
I know he showed me love best way he knew
Fast forward family members
Doing things they shouldn't do
Let it soak, let it brew
I'm tainted abused
Infused with confusion
No wonder I grew
In an environment full of felons
Word to the Heavens
Reason why relationships I should have our severance
Two thousand one hundred ninety days spent in a cage
I used it as leverage and healed my own pain
This the type of story some can only listen to
I reincarnate fulfill what you didn't do
I'm spitting glue
That mean they gone stick to me
Take a pic for me
You wanna know about my past
Well I can talk about it
You wanna know about my present
I can talk about it
You wanna know about the future
Well let's talk about it
Rounding up my thoughts I let them
Like an automatic
You wanna know about my past
Well I can talk about it
You wanna know about my present
I can talk about it
You wanna know about the future
Well let's talk about it
Rounding up my thoughts I let them
Like an automatic
I'm faded yo
This too real for the radio
A lost soul, searching for which way to go
Fast forward we can talk about the present
No longer adolescent
Dealing with some new pain I'm ready for blessing
Ready for coasting
I'm tired of going uphill in temperatures frozen
No hoes, no distraction
Red carpet and fashion
I'm legal no trapping
Champagne relaxing
With my favorite vibes
I feel everything going to be okay
When I look in your eyes, my mood rise
Like my singles on the charts
Billboards in Times Square
I'm live art, get your paint brush and meet me here
I'm on a tour, got to watch the time
And I remember where I'm from
So I watch for crime, but I'm
In a better position, minimal friction
If it ain't THC it ain't found in my system
I'm in my prime, I'm going to reign here for years
Invest blood sweat and tears
Your darkest nightmares
Appear like they nothing, I'm calling your bluff and
I'm hotter than oven, ya'll better learn something
I'm in my prime, I'm going to reign here for years
Invest blood sweat and tears
Your darkest nightmares
Appear like they nothing, I'm calling your bluff and
I'm hotter than oven, ya'll better learn something
Ya'll better learn something
I fast forward my life
With the knowledge of what I put out
Will come back through manifestation
Patiently waiting
I know it's coming, it's my creation
I'm the one draped in gold
No fake shit
Don't care if I'm famous
Long as I remain with an outlet to drain
All the pain I sustain
You wanna know about my past
Well I can talk about it
You wanna know about my present
I can talk about it
You wanna know about the future
Well let's talk about it
Rounding up my thoughts I let them
Like an automatic
You wanna know about my past
Well I can talk about it
You wanna know about my present
I can talk about it
You wanna know about the future
Well let's talk about it
Rounding up my thoughts I let them
Like an automatic
