Tomi Ade - Truth N Poetry (feat. Baby AK)

Oh what a beautiful morning
Nine thirty I'm free on Tuesday
I'd hop in the booth even if it was Doomsday
Y'all really don't get it
The dots I'm just tryna connect it
Wrongs in my life been corrected
I know that shit can't be perfect
Long as it's in the right direction
I'm giving a thumbs up
I'm giving the effort my blessing
Sending my blessings
Time tells a lot
We either grow or we rot
I haven't seen you since June
Where have you been
Girl tell me where have you been
What the fuck happened to you
I was just focused
I didn't choose to be chosen
That's just what this shit came to
Girl let's not rush this
Let's have some dates and discussions
Can I show my love to you
Hotbox your whip in the late of the night
And I ask you bout all of your plans and ambitions
I hope you savor these moments
I'm not always here baby I am a man on a mission
I've never trusted the way that they did it
I don't fw the status quo or traditions
I've said it once and I'll say it again it's the truth
I do not need nobody's permission
And I'm rolling I'm steady rolling
Something took control of me
This ain't what it posed to be
I speak truth and poetry
They want me bagging groceries
Wanna keep a hold on me
I watch who I keep close to me
I watch how you act when you angry
That's when your true colors come out
Been here since sun up the sun coming down
And I cannot see no one in front of me now
Boy it's only the mirror in front of me now
Wiping it down I don't even want a smudge
It's only my momma who sending me love
Upon love
Sending me kisses hugs
I'll make everyday Christmas for her
I won't leave you deserted
Member you crying and hurting
Swear that shit pained me
I was only eighteen
I couldn't save you but that's only because I couldn't even save me
The bills came in crazy
On top of that all my grades were a mess
Honestly I was lazy
Said I wouldn't fuck up again then I fucked up again and again
Somehow you still forgave me
But could you believe it
Problems like MJ I beat it
I coulda fell back and retreated
They say that when you don't learn from a lesson in life
That the man above makes you repeat it
I'm back in this bitch and I'm better than ever
I'm on my JB I'll never say never
This is the part where it only gets better
I swear to you this shit can only get better
And I'm rolling I'm steady rolling
Something took control of me
This ain't what it posed to be
I speak truth and poetry
They want me bagging groceries
They wanna keep a hold on me
I watch who I keep close to me
It's hard to let you close
