lyrics

"I know many times you heard the story of a man in purgatory
But see I'ma turn it toward me write on how I'm curvin shorties.
Easy on the eyes and pockets, I got a lot workin for me...
I got them bops so if I got a shot I turn to horry.
Clutch just like a 5 speed, meet up? I know she like me...
Clean up, I roll the dice, see, straight sevens treadin lightly
At first, then go to work. slim hittin a brother nightly,
Don't know I got a team of libras, leos, virgos, pisces.
She text and think she sice me, I see it then I smirk.
Don't respond in less than 20, I got plenty others first.
Never tell 'em they the one, they assume, I wipe my hands...
I used to think it was fun, I was the worst kind of man.
I blame it on being young, all is fair if I could feel her,
I say what I say, its smart, playin' wit hearts like a dealer.
Apologize if I was first and you ain't learned before me...
Fall if they feel the same, don't put yourself in purgatory slim."

"I know you think I'm trippin' but I'm just on somethin' different
My mind is steady slipping and my body steady limpin'
I can't control the symptoms and this cross is heavy liftin'
But the burden I will shoulder til I'm passing all the limits
I know its hard to see me when I'm falling further down
Just know it's hard to be me, I'm a king without a crown
I hope that you believe me, and I hope you stick around
But if you cried me a river, I would definitely drown

I know you prolly heard the story
I found myself in purgatory
And I dunno, where to go from here
I dunno where to go from here

I know you think I've changed but mistakes they don't define me
They all gon' call me strange, man I know, don't remind me
We been through this before and this life just might rewind me
But the past is all I see, how can I put it all behind me
We basked in the sun, we lay on the plains
Now the feeling undone, in three days rain
There's no room in my future for the stupid shit I do
There's a tomb in the present for the stupid shit I do

I know you prolly heard the story
I found myself in purgatory
And I dunno, where to go from here
I dunno where to go from here

I will gratefully
Always care
I'll be great you'll see
I am rare
Put your faith in me
Say a prayer
You just wait on me
I'll be there"
