[Hook: Jhene]
Where are we going? Why are we slowing down?
Where are you going? We should be growing now



[Intro Verse]

thats what he said to me
but that person i call dad is just dead to me
poison from all the lies that you fed to me

you said im here to carry out your legacy
but im not here for some artificial ecstasy


[Hook]

[Verse 2]

thats what he said to me
but that place I called home is just a bed to me
pulled on every single rope that lead to me

but i wouldn't climb cuz it was just thread to me
sayin if it happened then its probably just ment to be
but thats not ment for me, i wasn't mentally

in the right state, as tears shed from me
woke up breathlessly, breathing heavily
don't expect empathy, just mend with me

its my remedy, heres the recipe
i only let these things out on a melody
in person you wont ever get no tell from me

thought i had the world in my hands but it fell from me
some people probably think my life is perfect
others don't even know if its worth it

im trying to figure out if i deserve it
all the people i loved left me deserted
if this is a sentence then ok ill serve it

if not then ill take my happiness and preserve it
if i have a spot in heaven then can i reserve it
cuz I wouldn't want to live in a world thats perfect


[Hook]


[Verse 3]
thats what he said to me
but that person i call dad is just dead to me

poison from all the lies that you fed to me
you said im here to carry out your legacy
but im not here for some artificial ecstasy

my only father is the one thats heavenly
and im not sure if my past was destiny
and if its not thats not how i want the rest to be

sometimes i wander if this life is a test to me
well I tried my best to be, the best I could be
the rest I could seek, these demons out of me

but they don't wanna leave, they just wanna breathe
they don't wanna grieve, and I just wanna free
my soul from these thieves, stuck on my odyssey

for every eye to see, theres no monotony
just a prophecy, that your too proud to see
you're too proud to be, out of the crowd you seek

you're too cowardly, to be an out cast
lookin for that bandwagon, you better scout fast
cuz you wont outlast, whoevers out last

hate cryin so you hope the drought last

[Outro: Jhene]

Trying to visualize how to get it right but my vision's so blurry
Trying to slow it down, stay close to the ground but we're always in a hurry
And if I could make this world stand a little slower then I would

Then we could grow a little closer, I think we're getting closer
I think we're getting closer...
