State
E.T.M. Lyrics

I was born very well aware
I was born with a deep understanding and consciousness

From a place where nobody knew what is fair
From a place where fairness and justice were unknown

So much care for my peers, started losing hairs
I cared deeply for others, to the point of causing stress and hair loss

But looking at my body, I ain't lacking hair
Despite the stress, my physical appearance shows no signs of hair loss

Another day I'm thankful that we're breathing air
Every day I express gratitude for the gift of life

I stopped looking for the people that would take me there
I no longer seek approval or assistance from others

I'm not looking for your share, yeah I got my share
I am content with what I possess, I don't need what belongs to others

Only lesson that I learned was just taking care
The only lesson I've learned is to prioritize self-care

Only pain in mind is I know that I'm rare
My only concern is the awareness of my uniqueness

This ain't my native tongue but I know it well
Although it's not my native language, I have mastered it

Half here half there, you can't even tell
I am equally connected to two different places, it's hard to discern

I'm even French but I only know Je M'appelle
Despite being French, the only phrase I know is 'Je M'appelle'

My ego has been as big as it gets
My ego has reached its peak size

So big that regret was the only threat
My ego was so enormous that the only threat to it was regret

I worked every job, just so I could pay my debts
I held multiple jobs to repay my debts

I do this shit for free, just to keep in check
I do what I love without expecting payment, just to maintain balance

They paid me three digits just to play a set
I received payment in the hundreds for performing a music set

No one ever sees how messy all the cleaning gets
People don't realize the difficulty and messiness of behind-the-scenes work

I guess I'll grab a cup for tears I shed
I'll find solace in a cup to collect and acknowledge my tears

I guess you can end me now if it's only death
If death is the only possible ending, then go ahead and end me

Ain't done nothing wrong, I ain't pleading guilty
I haven't committed any wrongdoing, I won't admit guilt

Compared to shit I've seen, man that shit is filthy
In comparison to the things I've witnessed, that situation is extremely unpleasant

If it ever broke me then I let it build me
If a situation almost crushed me, I allowed it to strengthen me

If I ever broke them then I let them feel me
If I hurt someone, I made sure they felt the impact of their actions

I always manscape so my skin is silky
I take care of my grooming to ensure my skin feels smooth

I just want to meet Drake, but The Boy is risky
I desire to meet Drake, but I recognize that approach comes with risks

I just want to give him thanks, maybe pour some whiskey
I simply want to express my gratitude to him, perhaps over a drink of whiskey

Have to say it from my chest like we're throwing frisbee
I need to express it sincerely and openly, like throwing a frisbee

Meditated state, yeah I'm getting crispy
In a state of deep meditation, I am reaching a heightened state of clarity

I just want more chicken before the kitchen closes
I desire to eat more chicken before the kitchen stops serving

In the garden, no apples, I'm just smelling roses
In this peaceful state, I am enjoying the scent of roses, not concerned with material gains

My dream is where I'm at and the doors are open
I am currently living my dream, with doors of opportunity wide open

Don't know ya'll but I know what your horoscope is
I may not know you personally, but I can accurately predict your horoscope

Don't even know the stars, I'm just telescoping
I don't have full knowledge of the stars, but I can observe them through a telescope

But they give me hope, when I'm feeling hopeless
The stars provide me hope and inspiration in times of despair

I don't love nothing more unless I'm feeling focused
I only feel a strong love when I am fully focused on something

Not everything is pure, but I know my soul is
While not everything in this world is pure, I am confident in the purity of my own soul

I know the flow is cold, but I ain't the coldest
I am aware that my rap style is impressive, but I don't consider myself the absolute best

I can sense my future, know I'm getting closer
I have a strong intuition about my future and sense that I am approaching it

Don't need this to be rich, I could be playing poker
I don't require wealth from this, I could simply play poker to make money

I'm just typing on the screen like the pen is broken
I am expressing myself through typing, as if my pen is unable to write

Living in this dream until the heavens open
I'll continue living in this dream until something extraordinary happens

I'm not the chosen one but I'm feeling chosen
I may not be specifically chosen, but I have a sense of being special

I had to write my piece because my ceiling's open
I felt compelled to share my thoughts because there are no limits or restrictions on my potential
