lyrics

G Fam Black

It was just a dream watched it drop all in place
Is this life? Await my fall from grace
Here go a whole LP, aint take long to make
voice in my head sayin’ they gonna hate
Can't shake these,.. feelings of fraudulence,
The fact that I'm,. here is astonishin’
Am I scared, is it, fear of accomplishment?
Hard to believe it when they share me a compliment
I ain’t believe in myself or I'm just insecure
First time hit the radio i nearly hit the floor,
Feel like i hit the winnin’ ticket but i scratched the void
Pats on the back, even attaboys I’m paranoid
Contemplation got me Stuck on a pause
Was it all just the luck of the draw?
Surpassed rappers that been doin this for decades
Oh well, put the tape in ya box, let the cassette play


Sankofa

What am I even doing here, who am I?
Thought that I had a found a rhythm, but a damn lie
That’s all it ever was, bluster and etceteras
And people thinking the truth was what I said it was
Thought that I knew what I was talking and being
Walking like a champ, top of the evening
I guess I conquered my confidence, what a win
Now every moment I’ll be stumbling
It’s like I even forgot how to take a simple step
Let alone mold a syllable with intellect
For those I loved, I thought that I could be there
But then I disappeared, a ghost of hopes and despair
Participating got harder so I gave up
And I’ll never make up for stuff I made up
A grenade inside my cranium for penance
Fooled myself with joy and then cratered made it into weapons
