lyrics

i’m always writing
i’m always motivated
nah, i’m lying - i’m always in denial
i’m like a little child
i always end up wanting what i can’t have
and then always be complaining
i’m always lost.
always on the path though.
i am always mad stoned,
keep that on the downlow.
im always amped though i act calm:
camouflage -
always with my atlas on,
look at how how i carry on.
the globe on my back but i’m always strong.
stone-face poker game, fold like origami.
i’m always on edge
i sieze an opportunity to forgive an offense…
i always am a mess….
i confess
im buried under pressure
i am stressed
im always count my blessings, i am blessed
i’m always tryna open and compress
im always vocal cause you know i always gotta get it off my chest
focused on my steps,
it’s true what they say that you meet god on the road to self
i’m impressed
i reflect
always check myself,
i’m a wreck already
i come correct
lil niccolo makavelli
i’ll at the deli talkin bout the settlements
the type to always rock a keffiyeh on hannukah
hella pissed
always with the eloquence
what i mean like cruella is
i always get too deep, i’m irrelevant
i’m always giving speech that’s compelling though
i only spit on beats that are very dope
got these lyrics in my head for forever yo
it’s like the ink in my pen is indelible
