"Word Is Bond, Pt 2" lyrics
Look
Sometimes it's overwhelmin' tryna play the story
My culture got me chokin' under my emotions
Paint a picture so pristine of my life in motion
Under pressure tryna shine just like Hulk Hogan
And I woke up in a cold sweat
Clammy hands, my chest heavy with no rest, more stress
And they ask me where I'll go next
What if all the pain I poured inside this pen ends in my own death?
Would the feelings that I wrote even matter at all?
If I'm fallin' off a rope, who catchin' my fall?
If I'm buried under stone, would they actually ball?
Would my story be retold, or would it be lost?
And they tellin' me how I'm 'posed to be
How I'm 'posed to act, how I'm 'posed to breathe
I'm the poster child of the human dream
Of the imperfections, how it's 'posed to be
How I'm 'posed to see when caught up by my nihilism?
These dark thoughts been foggin' up my 20/20 vision
I'm tryin' hard to do good, keep messin' it up
Hard to balance the dreamer with the logical one
I'm the son of a hustler, so I gotta be up
And they say I should be grateful, but it's never enough
My sister raised me to be solid, they can't gas me up
It's a habit, can't feel happy till I've actually won
Always anxious that one day I'll prove my parents right
Cuz my pops seemed convinced that I'm the failure type
And words of affirmation ain't a part the culture
Apologies is gettin' served from a bowl of rice
The taste of forgiveness is always bittersweet
And it's burnin' in my throat like some ginger tea
And I wonder if I'll ever know inner peace
And till then I'll be focused on the next release
And they tellin' me how I'm 'posed to be
How I'm 'posed to act, how I'm 'posed to breathe
I'm the poster child of the human dreams
Of the imperfections and how it's 'posed to be
Word is bond to my brothers
Thick and thin, we gon' stick with one another
All I got is my word, word to my mother
All I got is my word, word to my mother
Word is bond to my brothers
Thick and thin, we gon' stick with one another
All I got is my word, word to my mother
All I got is my word, word to my mother
Sometimes it's overwhelmin' tryna play the story
My culture got me chokin' under my emotions
Paint a picture so pristine of my life in motion
Under pressure tryna shine just like Hulk Hogan
And I woke up in a cold sweat
Clammy hands, my chest heavy with no rest, more stress
And they ask me where I'll go next
What if all the pain I poured inside this pen ends in my own death?
Would the feelings that I wrote even matter at all?
If I'm fallin' off a rope, who catchin' my fall?
If I'm buried under stone, would they actually ball?
Would my story be retold, or would it be lost?
And they tellin' me how I'm 'posed to be
How I'm 'posed to act, how I'm 'posed to breathe
I'm the poster child of the human dream
Of the imperfections, how it's 'posed to be
How I'm 'posed to see when caught up by my nihilism?
These dark thoughts been foggin' up my 20/20 vision
I'm tryin' hard to do good, keep messin' it up
Hard to balance the dreamer with the logical one
I'm the son of a hustler, so I gotta be up
And they say I should be grateful, but it's never enough
My sister raised me to be solid, they can't gas me up
It's a habit, can't feel happy till I've actually won
Always anxious that one day I'll prove my parents right

All I got is my word, word to my mother
Word is bond to my brothers
Thick and thin, we gon' stick with one another
All I got is my word, word to my mother
All I got is my word, word to my mother
