venetian blinds

i want to be somebody to believe in

and things i took for granted i'm not leavin'

they don't understand the movement that we leadin'

so people hate us and don't even have a reason

i've got my own problems i'm not sleepin'

and every girl i dated always tries to get even

tries to get me back because i know that i hurt 'em

i always let 'em do it cause i know i deserve it

i broke your halo

i know i'm not perfect

i want to stay together like we're cursive

but we fighting everything we surface

she might stay together for the purses

i'm writing words do i have a purpose

and i give you my life although it's worthless

and do something with me but i'm nervous

and these are my thoughts behind the curtain

behind the curtain where you can't see

pull it back

who's that

say it ain't me

it can't be

where's my mothers son

and we crash because you don't know where we comin' from

behind the curtain where it's plain to see

me broken down

hard for me to hold it down

i thank god for serenity

beats tranquility

free from captivity

you don't laugh when i say i'm focused on my career

hoping that new make-up i buy you can soak up all your tears

for now here's some money and a bible on a dresser with a gun next to it in case you got to send a message

i'm on a road and you alone and i heard about a killin'

we hard of hearin' from the lord

my ear's to the ceilin'

my 9 to 5 killin' me

runnin' villains in the night when my mind runs in

and is filled up with adrenaline

had a few

i'm in and out of school

half awake

my boss in and say i'm bending all the rules

my wife looked in my blood shot eyes and didn't see us

th-th-that's when the room got quiet like a prius

to the me when i got wrong

when i spend my time writin' songs

i don't blame you if you want to leave it all

you cheaters

goldfish up against piranhas

i ain't perfect

i just do wanna deliver broken promises

behind the curtain where you can't see

pull it back

who's that

say it ain't me

it can't be

where's my mothers son

and we crash because you don't know where we comin' from

behind the curtain where it's plain to see

me broken down

hard for me to hold it down

i thank god for serenity

beats tranquility

free from captivity

young brother on the block trynna make it pot

we on the strip

trynna make it flip

my dna said otherwise

blood bars

don't confuse us with the other side

you can say i'm a wretch

but amazing grace

when i meet him

get to see my lord face-to-face

i'mma break down thinkin' 'bout the cold nights

overdose status but you never let your boy die

personal things i leave on this track forever

using this here as medicine

i feel better

let's get one thing clear i can't save you

but the king i speak of and to is a saviour

i make daniel like xavier

been in the den but my god had me raised up

huh

and to you i live crazy

until you come take it

social club major

fern

behind the curtain where you can't see

pull it back

who's that

say it ain't me

it can't be

where's my mothers son

and we crash because you don't know where we comin' from

behind the curtain where it's plain to see

me broken down

hard for me to hold it down

i thank god for serenity

beats tranquility

free from captivity
