Quadeca Eyes
[Hook]
I woke up, and my eyes were sore (Yeah)
I gave you every last tear that I had
I don't think I can cry no more (No)
All of this red on my eyes
Looking like I never gotten high before (Huh?)
This is not regular love
This shit is a mile more (For real)
I think this is God's way of reminding me
I need to smile more (Yeah)
[Verse 1]
I played you my song, and we sobbed
This music's beyond just a job
This music's beyond getting up on my Youtube
And dissing some pawn for applause
I gotta responsibility that's bigger than bullshitting
All for the mob
I'm tryna ball while I'm here
So they don't have to bawl when I'm gone, yeah
Life changed in a year
Changed in a week, changed in a second (Second)
Sang when they didn't hear
They didn't speak, they didn't question (They did not!)
Made my music in fear
Made it, and reframed my perspective
I hope that it's clear
Now that you're here, came to my rescue
[Chorus]
Losing time, lemme let you know before I lose my mind, yeah
These days, something must be on my side
If I lose, at least I'll tell 'em that I tried, yeah
That I tried (Yeah, okay)
[Verse 2]
They say great things take time
I think time takes great things away, though
Lost all of my idols that had fallen, like an angel
Who knows if they in the clouds with a halo?
Who knows? (Who knows?)
I look up to names for help (Yeah)
But how can our idols save us (No)
If they can't even save themselves? (Facts)
I gotta' behave myself (Yeah)
Gotta' remember my start, no, I will not betray myself
I been afraid to tell
So alone, so, I just braced myself
I've wanted love since the age of 12
Even before I could lace myself
That's why when I know I lose all that I love
That it's easy to hate myself
It's my birthday! But I won't celebrate myself (Huh)
'Cause time is gonna take myself (Yeah)
I'm on my Pro Clubs shit, I create myself
But I'm never gonna rate myself
Picture-perfect, is it workin'? Vision blurrin'
Missin' verses, life really is a burden
Seein' my face on every sign, I'm a missing person
Whatever he gets, the kid deserves it (Yeah)
[Hook]
I woke up, and my eyes were sore (Yeah)
I gave you every last tear that I had
I don't think I can cry no more (No)
All of this red on my eyes
Looking like I never gotten high before (For real)
This is not regular love
This shit is a mile more (For real)
I think this is God's way of reminding me
I need to smile more
[Chorus]
Losing time, lemme let you know before I lose my mind, yeah
These days, something must be on my side
If I lose, at least I'll tell 'em that I tried, yeah
That I tried
[Outro]
You're nothing but a grain of sand in my hourglass
But, I can spot you from a mile away, yeah
I'm searching for you
